Hot Spots and Theorizing the Contemporary
Hot Spots and Theorizing the Contemporary feature series of ten or more short-form essays, bringing together scholars across institutions and career stages to weigh in on a shared topic. Hot Spots goes beyond the headlines to consider current events and pressing global issues from the perspective of anthropologists and others on the scene. Theorizing the Contemporary seeks to extend the horizon of social analysis in new directions, including challenges to what constitutes "theory" in the first place. Series are reviewed by the editors of Cultural Anthropology.
