In a rapidly changing global fashion system, new centres such as Shanghai are joining other cities such as Dubai, Moscow and Mumbai as global fashion capitals. Street Style is a series that explores and reveals the relationship between culture, the city, and the street fashion. Books in the series use a predominantly visual approach (visual ethnography) paired with critical analysis, and are inspired by street fashion blogs, magazines, and other fashion incubators such as internet sites.
Each volume is a collaboration between a street style photographer and an author, focusing on a particular city and the relationship between street style and the culture of that city. Style is predominantly an individual matter – the way people put themselves together creates a sense of individual identity, but collectively there is a sense of common culture in a community, a city, or a country.
The books will address points such as:

• Each city has a unique energy, a different look. How is this defined?
• What does street style tell you about a city and its culture?
• How does street style reflect cultural and social currents – what’s going on in music, art and on the sidewalks of communities?

Each volume will be divided into sections such as:
Head: Head cover, hair styles, makeup trends etc.
Body: Clothing includes shirts, skirts, pants, jackets, rainwear, coats etc.
Accessories: Handbags, shoes, gloves, scarves, belts, jewellery

In 2013, Studies in Hispanic Cinemas, is changing its name to Studies in Spanish & Latin American Cinemas to reflect more accurately its content, which is dedicated to the study of Spanish-speaking and Latin American cinemas, including the cinemas of Spain and Spanish-speaking South, Central and North America including the Caribbean, as well as Brazil.



Our target readership includes students, teachers and scholars. The journal is written in English to maximize the opportunities for contact between academic disciplines such as Media, Film Studies, Latin American and Post-colonial Studies, as well as Hispanic Studies, thereby encouraging an inter- cultural and inter- disciplinary focus.

The book series Trajectories of Italian Cinema and Media intends to engage with diverse academic communities, build new conceptual frameworks and foster a globally-focused and representative corpus of scholarship in Italian cinema and media studies. With the aim of exploring new critical and historical trajectories, this book series will trace the evidence of Italian cinema’s international polysemy and polycentrism, define the extent of its inspirational force, examine other cinemas’ artistic innovations resulting from their osmosis with the Italian film tradition, and foster comparative analyses of themes and genres between Italian and other world cinemas.
If you wish to propose a manuscript to be included in the series, please contact the series editor Flavia Laviosa ([email protected])

Unmade Film and Television is a new book series that explores unmade, unseen and unreleased film and television from across the globe and from all time periods.
The study of unmade film and television remains neglected and fragmented within scholarly discourse. As such, this series invites contributions (edited collections, monographs etc) on all aspects of unmade, unseen and unreleased film and television from across film and media history. The key aim of the series will be to offer explanations as to why so many projects are left unmade or unreleased, with a focus on the social, political, cultural, industrial, and economic contexts, both at a regional and international level. It is hoped such an approach will allow for insights into the logic of creative failure within the film and television industries.
Ideas may range from individual case studies of directors, producers, writers, genres, studios, and production companies, to wholescale studies of national industries. It may be that the focus is on structural issues (women filmmakers, censorship etc.) or on concepts of the unmade, such as creative failure, archival methods, or creative practice. Contributions are also welcomed on the way audiences and fans interact with the unmade and unreleased, from the social media ‘afterlife’ of unmade films, through to innovative practices of bringing to life unmade projects for new audiences and in the process reimaging cinema history.
If you have a potential project, please contact the series editor, James Fenwick ([email protected]) in the first instance, providing details of proposed author/s, a short biography, book title, and short synopsis.
