Figurations Newsletter

From its inception in 1994, Figurations has been published twice per year in February and July. As a newsletter, rather than a scholarly journal, it serves as an international forum for the exchange of information among scholars interested in the works of Norbert Elias and the figurational or processual approach to understanding human societies. Each issue includes announcements, news, events, publications, short articles, conference reports, and book reviews contributed by members of the Figurations Research Network.

Figurations was edited by Stephen Mennell from 1994 to 2017 and by Barbara Gornicka from 2017 to 2021. Since 2021, the newsletter has been jointly edited by Wai ‘Leon’ Lau and Alexander Mack, who serve as Managing Editors. Stephen Mennell continues to contribute in the role of Consultant Editor, providing advice on publication matters. The Honorary Editor is Katie Liston, and Honorary Assistant Editors are Florence Delmotte (Brussels) for French; Tabea Dörfelt-Mathey (Jena) and Heike Hammer (Stuttgart) for German; Tatiana Savoia Landini (São Paulo) for Spanish and Portuguese in Latin America; Radosław Kossakowski (Gdańsk) for Polish; and Irem Özgören Kinli (Turkey) for Turkish.
