Anthropological Theory is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes papers in the field of Anthropology. The journal's editors are Julia Eckert (University of Berne), Nina Glick Schiller (University of Manchester, Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology) and Stephen Reyna (Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology). It has been in publication since 2001 and is currently published by SAGE Publications.
Anthropological Theory (AT) since its first issue in March 2001 has flourished. It did so by achieving in varied ways the goals laid out for it in the Editors’ first editorial ‘The Six Field System’. Consequently, our vision for the journal is evolutionary; taking what has been accomplished well and improving it. We will publish in areas of anthropological thought where there is intellectual excitement and confrontation; seeking theoretical essays distinguished by their rigor, significance, and movement of intellectual debates into new domains. We will encourage theoretical analyses in realms that are not metaphysical exotica, but emerge from hurly-burley of life with the goal of ‘making a difference’ - in the sense of speaking to and improving the human condition. Clearly we, the new editors of AT, do have certain views concerning the discipline, and we would like to make these clear to readers of, and authors for, the journal
Consideration of the variety of anthropological researches leaves one struck by their sheer breadth. Anthropologists have studied people from cultural, social, archeological/historical, linguistic, and biological perspectives. They have done so in all places and all times of the human adventure. Anthropology, in this sense, is a ‘big tent’. Indeed, compared to the other human sciences, anthropology is the biggest tent. We think this is a glory. We want to encourage it, because it can allow anthropological practitioners to potentially know more about more things and, in doing so, to have greater prospects of capturing connections that narrower disciplines miss. So we will have an open door policy; welcoming all sorts perspectives, from all sides of the big tent, as long as they theorize with thoroughness.
