Theory and Event is an electronic academic journal founded in 1997 and devoted to contemporary questions in political theory, particularly those related to sovereignty, territory, government, identity, and the politics of representation as it appears in a variety of fora including elections, consumerism and high and popular culture. The journal focuses on the confrontation between theory and current events, allowing the immediacy of the latter to test, challenge, and change the often-ossified concepts inherent in the former. It includes essays, as well as other forms of writing less typical of the discipline. The staff, authors, and readership hail from all parts of the globe. The editors are Dr. William Chaloupka of Colorado State University and Dr. Paul Patton of the University of New South Wales.
The journal is published quarterly in January, April, July, and October.
