Changing Media, Changing Europe
Series Editors: Peter Golding and Ib Bondebjerg
Changing Media, Changing Europe is a book series of new essays bringing together original analyses of the changing landscape of the media in Europe. The books arise from a unique five year European Science Foundation programme ‘Changing Media, Changing Europe’ – in which leading scholars from across the continent met to work together to produce innovative discussion and analysis of the interaction of rapid changes in the culture and politics of the mass media with complex shifts in social and economic dynamics within and across cultures. Drawing on insights and research in a range of disciplines, some of Europe’s leading scholars contribute new articles, arising from their involvement in the ESF Programme.

Clothing Cultures
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.

Contemporary Music Making and Learning
Series editors: Gareth Dylan Smith and Bryan Powell
Contemporary Music Making and Learning focuses on current approaches to music making and learning, with particular emphasis on the perspectives, practices, purposes and places of the people involved. This book series aims to shed light on established and emerging contemporary practices in music creation and music education, and we anticipate that books in the series will come from a wide range of authors and editors representing and discussing a breadth and depth of traditions converging in and around contemporary music education praxis.
The series editors are Gareth Dylan Smith and Bryan Powell, who edit Intellect’s Journal of Popular Music Education. For this series, they invite proposals for monographs and edited collections – of a variety of lengths – that emphasize or combine practical, theoretical, philosophical, empirical and interdisciplinary approaches to music making and learning. The book series aims to draw authors, editors and audiences from among the music education profession throughout the anglophone world, as well as from related fields including popular music studies, ethnomusicology, sociology of music, community music, musical theatre and music therapy. While this a scholarly book series, submissions are especially encouraged from authorial and editorial teams that include musicians, teachers and music leaders with real-world experience and understanding, who may not ordinarily write for an academic audience.
Contributions to the Contemporary Music Making and Learning book series should be:- Relevant to others who make, teach, study or consume music;
- Clearly and deeply situated and contextualized in current scholarly debate in music studies (e.g.., music education, ethnomusicology, music technology);
- Readable, including clarity of organization, and prose that is engaging and compelling;
- Clear in terms of an arc and thesis, or (in the case of edited books) a coherently organized set of ideas throughout the book;
- Timely: books in this series should engage with pressing contemporary issues and topics;
- Respectfully challenging or provocative to prevailing professional norms.
- Radical, cutting edge, particularly in terms of scholarly approach or methods;
- Intensely personal;
- Interdisciplinary;
- Cross-cultural;
- Deeply critical.

Crime Uncovered
Series Editor: Tim Mitchell
Crime fiction in the various forms of literature, film, television, and even video games, is one of the most pervasive of all ‘genres’, with an ever-expanding international popularity. Intellect’s latest book series is intended as a means of exploring this genre in an intelligent, critical and accessible manner. The series will focus its gaze on the ‘character type’ in crime fiction and, across a number of volumes, it aims to unveil and illuminate the various manifestations of character from the police detective to the amateur sleuth, the charismatic anti-hero to the private eye and beyond. Each title will be devoted to a particular character type such as ‘The Detective’ or ‘The Anti-Hero’ and contain protagonist case studies, interviews with crime writers and explicatory chapters on the wider background and perception of these fascinating – and much loved – characters in crime.
Readers will gain a deeper insight into the workings of character and how integral this has been to both the success and longevity of the genre. Individual case studies will demonstrate how aspects of location, methodology, relationships, adaptation, social context and morality differentiate each individual protagonist enough to make them interesting, whilst other chapters will help us come to an understanding of what it is that makes them part of a recognizable and distinctive ‘type’.
The Crime Uncovered series uses academic method but in an accessible, reader-friendly fashion so that the book will appeal to the intelligent reader of crime fiction and student, as well as the scholar.

Critical Guides to Contemporary Composers
Series Editor: Martin Iddon
Intellect’s Critical Guides to Contemporary Composers are accessible but rigorous introductions to key figures in the world of contemporary music. Neither simply biographies, nor exclusively analytical discussions, the focus is on critical issues highlighted by historical and biographical context and the musical content of the work. Particularly, the series seeks to engage with composers whose place within contemporary musical cultures is prominent and secure, but who have been overlooked within the Anglo-American sphere. Designed for scholars and students alike, this series presents insights into vital figures in contemporary music, previously unavailable within English-language musicology.

Critical Photography
Series Editor: Alfredo Cramerotti
To send a proposal for a volume in the series, please contact [email protected].
Since 1986, Intellect has provided a vital space for widening critical debate in new and emerging subjects. As a leading academic publisher in the fields of creative practice and popular culture, Intellect has a strong list of visual culture and contemporary art focussed publications. We aim to offer a platform for photographers, writers and creative artists to present and critically reflect on their work and to produce original, adventurous projects.
Critical Photography seeks to encourage visual and textual reflection on/with contemporary photography; to marry photographic work and critical texts, representing a balance between the two forms. The series is at the forefront in expanding the notion of critical debate: each book investigates a theoretical issue via two systems of representation, placing them at equal level. Neither text that 'explains' pictures nor photography that 'illustrates' text, the series addresses aspects of our being and becoming in a thought-provoking and aesthetically stunning form and content.

Critical Studies in Architecture of the Middle East
Series Editors: Mohammad Gharipour and Christiane Gruber
Critical Studies in Architecture of the Middle East is devoted to the most recent scholarship concerning historic and contemporary architecture, landscape, and urban design of the Middle East and of regions shaped by diasporic communities more globally. We invite interdisciplinary studies from diverse perspectives that address the visual characteristics of the built environment, ranging from art and architectural case studies to urban analysis. The series illustrates a range of approaches to the commission, design, construction, use, and reception of artistic projects, buildings, landscapes, cities, and social environments throughout the Islamic world; concurrently, it illuminates the region’s diverse architectural cultures and expressive traditions. The series intends to present the history, theory, practice, and critical analyses of historical and contemporary art, architecture, landscape, and urban design, as well as the interpretation and conservation of existing cultural heritage in the Islamic world and beyond.

Critical Studies in Men's Fashion
Critical Studies in Men's Fashion examines the multi-faceted dimensions of men's appearance. It uses the holistic definition of dress as a means of examining the tangible and intangible aspects of creating and maintaining appearance. This journal is the first to exclusively focus on men's dress and topics of gender, identity, sexuality, culture, marketing and business will be discussed. Men's dress and fashion have been side-lined in scholarship, and this journal provides a dedicated space for the discussion, analysis, and theoretical development of men's appearance from multiple disciplines. All articles are blind-peer reviewed in order to maintain the highest standards of scholastic integrity. Theoretical and empirical scholarship in the form of original articles, manuscripts, research reports, pedagogy, and media reviews are welcome.

Crossings: Journal of Migration & Culture
The course of cultures at both local and global levels is crucially affected by migratory movements. In turn, culture itself is turned migrant. This journal will advance the study of the plethora of cultural texts on migration produced by an increasing number of cultural practitioners across the globe who tackle questions of culture in the context of migration. They do this in a variety of ways and through a variety of media. To name but a few relevant aspects of this juncture of migration and culture, questions of dislocation, travel, borders, diasporic identities, transnational contacts and cultures, cultural memory, the transmission of identity across generations, questions of hybridity and cultural difference, the material and oral histories of migration and the role of new technologies in bridging cultures and fostering cultural cross-pollination will all be relevant. Methodologies of research will include both the study of 'texts' and fieldwork.

Cultural Studies of Natures, Landscapes and Environments
Founding Editors: Rod Giblett, Deakin University, Emily Potter, Deakin University, Warwick Mules, University of Queensland
Developing a better relationship between humans and the earth, people and place, culture and nature is vital for trying to achieve environmental sustainability in the age of climate change. This new series considers each of these terms and the political, economic, semiotic, philosophical and psychological dimensions of our relationship with the earth. Firmly placed in the tradition of cultural studies of nature and landscape begun by Raymond Williams and continued by Alexander Wilson and others, it will publish interdisciplinary work that draws on established approaches within Cultural Studies and develops new ones. It will make a unique and vital contribution not only to academic enquiry but also to new ways of thinking, being and living with the earth. The series will be of interest to a wide range of theorists and practitioners who are seeking directions out of, and solutions to, our environmental and cultural malaise.

Cultural Studies Toward Transformative Curriculum and Pedagogy
Series Editor: Bill Reynolds (altenative email: [email protected])
In our fast-changing modern world, popular culture plays a central, critical role in the education of youth and in the development of youthful identity. The ubiquity of television, music, films, gaming and Internet access have together transformed both the nature and pace of personal growth and maturation.
This series will offer scholars a new context for examining the role of popular culture in education. The series will focus on titles that explore the relationships among cultural studies, curriculum studies and critical/transformational pedagogy. Situating issues of identity, popular culture and education within a broader social framework will open up new scholarly debates and allow for greater exploration of curriculum understandings and pedagogical practice.

Culture, Disease, and Well-Being: The Grey Zone of Health and Illness
Series Editor: Alan Blum
The series, Culture, Disease, and Well-Being: The Grey Zone of Health and Illness, represents the work of a multidisciplinary project in Medical Humanities funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and based in downtown Toronto at the Culture of Cities Centre which is supported by the Faculty of Arts, University of Waterloo. The Grey Zone project develops a framework for studying health and illness by isolating a range of case studies in which the tension between medicine's promise and its particular interpretations and incorporations become visible and dramatic under conditions of modern life. The idea of the Grey Zone identifies the ways in which indeterminacy, uncertainty, and ambiguity inhabit our interpretations and actions even when they are most resolute and appear most unassailable. The Grey Zone does not make reference to conspiracy or domination but to the natural working of language as a living social relationship between words and deeds where we must invariably speak and act under "imperfect" conditions. Though this zone of ambiguity might often appear terrifying in health care because of the import and urgency of problems involved, it operates whenever we strive to make sense of our situations. Works in the Grey Zone series use resources from classical theorizing, the humanities and social sciences that bear upon the interdisciplinary study of interpretive instabilities, their grounds and effects, in relation to the negotiation of problems of health, illness, and disease in everyday life. Forthcoming publications in the series include a monograph by Alan Blum, The Grey Zone of Health and Illness, and two collections of essays, Spectacular Death: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Mortality and (Un)representability edited by Tristanne Connolly, and Of Indeterminate Birth: Studies in the Culture of Origins, Fertility and Creation, edited by Elke Grenzer and Jan Plecash.
