Política común: A Journal for Thought is a venue for critical thinking that is committed to reevaluating the history and theory of the social bond by moving beyond the standard elements of the academic field. We aspire to be a publication of reference in contemporary thought with a capacious interest in addressing issues such as market-driven social domination, global inequality, posthumanities reflection,ecological transition, increasing mass diasporic movements, artificial intelligence, data mining and surveillance economics, and the challenges and constraints of political and infrapolitical existence. Our mission is however not limited to or determined entirely by those areas of interest and concern. We welcome contributions that might inspire debate and conversation on contemporary critical theory in the wake of Marxian and Nietzschean thought.
