Two changes to the journal

Beginning with the next issue readers of Distinktion will see two changes to the journal. One is that the layout will change. This is done to enhance readability. The second change might be less visible, but it is there: the subtitle of the journal will change from Scandinavian Journal of Social Theory to Journal of Social Theory. Leaving out the Scandinavian prefix is not meant to discourage Scandinavian scholars from submitting their work to the journal. However, the editors have received a number of author inquires in the past about whether papers submitted to Distinktion should contain links, implicit or explicit, to Scandinavian matters. The answer has always been negative. It was never our intention to turn the journal into an outlet about Scandinavia. True, the journal originates in Scandinavia. Yet the argument for flagging Scandinavia in the subtitle was always to make clear that the journal is solely committed neither to Continental European nor to UK/US traditions. The aim has rather been to provide a forum for theoretical debate that could benefit from criss-crossing these traditions. In any event, in order to prevent any confusion among potential authors about the need for Scandinavian contextualization, the editors have decided to change the journal’s subtitle – and, in fact, return to the original title of the journal when it was founded in 2000. However, we do keep one Scandinavian trace intact in the title. Distinktion will still be spelled with a k. None of these changes will affect the content or profile of the journal as reflected in its aims and scope (http://www.tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?show=aimsScope& journalCode=rdis20#.VsRLHU32aUk). However, we have now made explicit in the aims and scope what has been an established practice in Distinktion for several years: our commitment to publish longer papers. At a time when many other journals become ever-stricter about 8,000-word limits, we wish to acknowledge that sometimes arguments require more space.
