Peculiar Periodicals
It turns out there are even more unlikely publications than The Journal of Unlikely Science. Every Thursday, our very own Dr Steer turns his attention to another weird science journal.
This week: ANTIPODE - A RADICAL JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHY
| Name – The best yet? It's got to be close. Any journal that can get the word radical into it's title has got to be a winner in anyone's book. |  |
) "click to enlarge") Front cover – It's nice, pretty pattern, but not very subversive really. Surely a radical journal should be triangular, or call itself something completely different on the cover. That'd show those capitalist bastards. |
 |
| Off-the-wallness – By it's own admission, Antipode publishes "dissenting scholarship" to "challenge dominant and orthodox views". That's good by me. Let's all go and write a paper about how rocks are really alive. | |
| Usefulness – The latest issue contains a twenty-page research paper entitled "Broccoli and Desire". Hurrah! That's just brilliant. And bugger all use to anyone. |  |
| Impressiveness – Get a paper published in Antipode and you'll be a geographical Che Guevara. Fighting political injustice and social science-slighters with your rod of radicalism. For that we would salute you. | |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Overall - It's revolutionary. It's reactionary. It's totally radical. Antipode's a winner. |  |
