disClosure: A journal of Social Theory

Issue #13: Pangaea

Many scientists have come to accept Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory that, 200 million years ago, the continents of the Earth were connected, forming one super-continent, Pangaea. Today, theories of globalization address the arrival of new forms of transcontinental connections through the development of technologies, social and political practices, Capital, global human and environmental epidemics, etc. This issue of disClosure seeks submissions exploring the ways that distances between global spaces are collapsing, contracting, spreading, fracturing, suturing, unifying, and subducting through developments in social life.
