About Journal

Przestrzeń Społeczna (Social Space) is an interdisciplinary Polish-English bilingual journal of monolingual texts. It includes articles, essays, review essays, progress reports, book reviews, discussions, and commentaries. Taking sociology as a departure point, the journal intends to promote a dialogue between scientists working in individual social sciences, including social anthropology, social psychology, social geography, political science, cultural studies, etc. It focuses on the interrelation of society and space by balancing between the sociologists’ finding that space does matter and the human geographers’ belief that space itself explains few, if anything. The journal enables rapid publication and discussion on research work for the benefit of each discipline involved.

The journal competitors

Even though social space has been discussed in sociology, there is no journal devoted to social space in Polish sociology and hardly any in world sociology. In this sense therefore the journal fits the niche. Texts in social geography, including those about social space, even highly interesting and essential, are poorly known to sociologists. There is no interdisciplinary journal aimed at social space and no bilingual Polish-English journal, promoting Polish ideas in social sciences to the international readership.
