Metal music studies is a fast-expanding interdisciplinary field that spans across subject area fields in the social sciences, performing arts and humanities. Intellect's Advances in Metal Music and Culture publishes monographs, edited collections and short books on metal and its associated sub-genres.  The series builds on and continues the work of Emerald Studies in Metal Music and Culture, with the same series editors. It continues to provide a home for the growing number of scholars – from a wide variety of backgrounds – who wish to critically reflect on metal music around the world as a cultural product.
The series editors are keen to receive proposals, or ideas for proposals, from scholars working on any aspect of metal music and culture. They are interested to receive proposals from scholars at any stage of their career, including recent Ph.D.s. Proposals that deal with metal outside of Europe and North America are particularly welcome, but the editors are happy to discuss any ideas that fit within the broad scope of the series aims.
The series is peer-reviewed and draws on the expertise of an International Advisory Board.
To submit a proposal to the series, or for more information, please contact the series editors:

The aim of Artwork Scholarship is to invite debate on, and provide an essential resource for transnational scholars engaged in creative research involving visual, literary and performative arts. Approaches may include arts-based, practice-based, a/r/tography, artistic, research creation and more, and explore pedagogical and experimental perspectives, reflective and evaluative assessments, methodological deliberations, and ethical issues and concerns in relation to a host of topic areas in education.
Manuscripts address questions such as: What is artwork scholarship? How does arts education compare internationally? What educational approaches and modes are widening debates concerning the arts? How might best practices be adapted transnationally?  Does arts research contribute to sustainability of the arts at a time of globalization of education?
We invite manuscripts that align with the following streams of inquiry:                                                                                                
International Perspectives: Themed collections that investigate art as research, inclusive of diverse global viewpoints (80,000 – 120,000 words).
Communities of Practice: Regional perspectives and/or specific topics and issues relating to art as research (50,000 – 80,000 words).
Artful Expressions: Exposés, such as graphic novels, visual essays and short format essays that are simultaneously concise and artful, and demonstrate innovative and enduring issues, questions, events and encounters (20,000 – 50,000 words, e-books, print-on-demand).
Proposals should identify the stream of inquiry, and demonstrate how the proposed topic(s) expand artwork scholarship with explicit engagement of textual-artistic relationships. Each stream offers unique opportunities for depth and/or breadth of investigation and artistic engagement.
Please note: Open Access publications are strongly encouraged.
For any enquiries contact [email protected] and [email protected].

The Australasian Journal of Popular Culture is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal devoted to the scholarly understanding of everyday cultures. It is concerned with the study of the social and cultural meanings that are produced and circulated through everyday media and practices as products of consumption. It explores popular narratives and iconographies as intellectual objects of inquiry, and as integral components of the dynamic forces that shape societies and identities. The journal publishes articles that focus on Australasian examples, as well as broader critical and comparative topics viewed through a global lens.

Series Editors: Oliver Carter, Kirsten Forkert, Nicholas Gebhardt and Dima Saber.
The Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Research’s ‘New Directions’ book series aims to advance research and teaching in the broad range of media and cultural studies and to serve as the focal point for a community of scholars who are committed to critical inquiry and collaborative practice. Books in the series engage with developments in the field, showing how new theoretical approaches have impacted on research within both media and cultural studies and other related disciplines. Each volume will focus on a specific theme or issue, as well as exploring broader processes of social and cultural transformation. The series is committed to producing distinctive titles that challenge traditional disciplinary boundaries and question existing paradigms, including innovative scholarship in areas such as the creative industries; media history, heritage and archives; games studies; gender and sexuality; screen cultures; jazz and popular music studies; media and conflict; songwriting studies; and critical theory. The editors are also keen to encourage authors to experiment with non-standard approaches to academic writing.

Choreographic Practices operates from the principle that dance embodies ideas and can be productively enlivened when considered as a mode of critical and creative discourse. The journal provides a platform for sharing choreographic practices, critical inquiry and debate.

We all wear clothes. We are all therefore invested at some level in the production and consumption of clothing. This journal intends to embrace issues and themes that are both universal and personal, addressing [and dressing] us all. Increasingly, as we all become accomplished semioticians, clothing becomes the key signifier in determining social interaction and behaviour, and sartorial norms dictate socio-cultural appropriateness. Following the rise of fashion theory, on an everyday level, we all understand that our clothes 'say' something about us, about our times, nation, system of values. Yet clothing is not fashion; clothing is a term derivative from 'cloth', to cover the body, whereas fashion alludes to the glamorous, the ephemeral and the avant garde. We wear clothes, but imagine fashion-an unattainable ideal.
