About Fronesis

As the theoretical terrain changes, new maps are needed. theoretical concepts and perspectives are the cure for the mystifying language of power. The journal Fronesis provides tools for a critical comprehension of our time by gathering politics, theory, and critique in extensive thematic issues.

The ambition of Fronesis is to be accessible and pedagogic in order to make complex topics a concern for more than academic scholars. Since its foundation in 1998, Fronesis has established itself as an important forum for radical interventions in the Swedish public debate.

In Fronesis, the vivid international leftist debate gets accessible in Swedish. Forgotten texts are being reintroduced, and new interventions on burning issues published. A radical conversation within academia meets the discussions and ideas of the labor movement, new social movements and progressive politics.

In 2004, Fronesis was appointed the cultural journal of the year in Sweden.
