About
Simmel Studies (1999–; firstly intitled Simmel Newsletter 1991-1999) was founded by Prof. Otthein Rammstedt at the University of Bielefeld (Germany). Rammstedt’s intention was to promote and disseminate Simmel's thought in relationship with the edition of Georg Simmel's Gesamtausgabe by the German publisher Suhrkamp (edition completed under his direction at the end of 2015). The journal Simmel Studies was able to become an important organ of the international Simmel renaissance, collecting the contributions of many international Simmel scholars.
Simmel Studies suspended the publication in 2009 when Rammstedt became emeritus professor. Simmel Studies "new series" – in the new digital form and with a new redaction and editorial board – intends to re-launch a global forum for the scientific research inspired by Simmel. It will published twice a year (June and December) peer-reviewed by an the international editorial board from Germany, France, England, Italy, North and South America, Canada, Russia, Japan, China, Taiwan.
