History and profile
Collapse was founded in 2006[2] by Maya B. Kronic. It served as a successor to the ***collapse journal that operated between 1995 and 1996 and was edited by Maya B. Kronic with Robert O'Toole. The magazine was based in Oxford.[2] It featured speculative work in progress by contemporary philosophers, along with contributions from artists, scientists and other writers outside of philosophy.[3] 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.[4] The magazine's output is collected in eight volumes, the last of which was published in December 2014.[5] As of January 2026, a ninth volume, which was to be titled Logic of Scents, was listed as 'forthcoming' with an unspecified date.[6]
