History and profile
Collapse was founded in 2006[1] by Robin Mackay. It served as a successor to the ***collapse journal that operated between 1995 and 1996 and was edited by Robin Mackay with Robert O'Toole. The magazine was based in Oxford.[1] It featured speculative work in progress by contemporary philosophers, along with contributions from artists, scientists and other writers outside of philosophy.[2] In December 2008, as a part of BBC Today guest editor Zadie Smith's programme, the author Hari Kunzru listed Urbanomic's Collapse as an avant-garde philosophy journal in his A guide to the artistic underground.[3] The magazine's output is collected in eight volumes, the last of which was published in December 2014.[4] As of January 2026, a ninth volume, which was to be titled Logic of Scents, was listed as 'forthcoming' with an unspecified date.[5]
