The official PUBLISHED set from AltaMira Press are out now. 21 original cards (no bootlegs!). See details here.

The Theory.org.uk Trading Cards are a pack of 32 online cards featuring theorists and concepts close to the hearts of people interested in social and cultural theory, gender and identity, and media studies.

The twelve original, 'official' cards were released monthly during 2000-2001. During 2001-2003, the original twelve cards have been joined by twenty 'bootleg' cards made by fans. Why not view a random card?

In 2004, a new set of 21 designs were published by AltaMira Press as actual cards and are now available from bookstores! The published set is different to the online set. Life's like that. See full details.
