It aims to critique and reconstruct theories by interfacing them with one another and by relocating them in new sites and conjunctures. </div><div><br></div><div>Culture, Theory and Critique is an international as well as interdisciplinary journal whose success depends on contributions from a variety of sources, so that debate between different perspectives can be stimulated. One of the aims of the journal is to break down theoretical hierarchies and latent intellectual hegemonies. To this end, every endeavour will be made to incorporate perspectives from diverse cultural, intellectual and geographical contexts. We therefore particularly encourage work which addresses and contextualises theories, texts (including cinema, media, fine arts, scientific treatises, etc.), and ethnographic material produced outside of North America and Western Europe. We also encourage submissions of original English translations or introductions / summaries of critical theory works originally published in other languages. </div><div><br></div><div>Essays should not exceed 7000 words, including quotations and footnotes, and the word count should be printed at the end. In general, articles should be divided into clearly identified sections with subheadings or numbers.</div><div><br></div><div>Please visit our website (<a href="http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rctc20/current">http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rctc20/current</a>) for instructions and guidelines on how to submit an article. </div><div><br></div><div>Greg Hainge, Editor-in-Chief, <a href="mailto:g.hainge@uq.edu.au">g.hainge@uq.edu.au</a></div><div><br></div><div>Announcement of Special Issue: Invisible Harm: Science, Subjectivity and the Things We Cannot See, Issue 58, No. 4, Culture, Theory and Critique</div><div><br></div><div>This special Issue recognises the growing centrality of the environment as a theme that cuts across multiple disciplines, and includes articles by Karen Jacobs, Magdalena Stawkowski, Daniel Renfrew, Donna M. Goldstein, Kate Brown and Lindsay Ofrias. These scholars, working within the fields of anthropology, history and literature, have come together to present research on ‘invisible harm’, a term used here to capture the broad effects of increasing environmental toxicity and contamination in specific late capitalist contexts.</div><div><br></div><div>The authors in this special issue note the complex relationship between state control and scientific production as they trace the material effects of invisibility within the realms of community, politicians, scientific networks and the neoliberal state. What is particularly powerful about these articles is the attention they give to the new subjectivities that organise around invisible harm, whether victims of contamination, environmental activists, or state-supported scientists.</div><div><br></div><div>This special issue exposes the ways that individuals and communities encounter the interface of toxicity and scientific knowledge production. In broader terms, they explore how these subjects encounter late capitalism, particularly as related to neoliberalising forms of governance and accountability. By focusing on the subjectivities that emerge in the midst of toxic encounters, our authors bring to life theoretical perspectives that are critical to thinking through our collective pasts, presents and futures.</div><div><br></div><div>Introduction to Special Issue</div><div>Invisible harm: science, subjectivity and the things we cannot see</div><div>Donna M.
