Advances in Metal Music and Culture
Series Editors: Keith Kahn-Harris and Rosemary Lucy Hill
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.

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.

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.

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.

Directory of World Cinema
The Directory of World Cinema aims to play a part in moving intelligent, scholarly criticism beyond the academy by building a forum for the study of film that relies on a disciplined theoretical base. Each volume of the Directory takes the form of a collection of reviews, longer essays and research resources, accompanied by film stills highlighting significant films and players.
The ethos of Intellect's Directory of World Cinema as a project is probably best communicated by John Berra's editorial taken from the Japanese volume where he comments:
'The overall aim was always to discuss Japanese cultural life and history as expressed through the medium of film.'

Explorations in Media Ecology
EME explores the relationships between media, technology, symbolic form, communication, consciousness, and culture. Its scope is interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary. Media ecology provides a rich philosophical, historical and practical context for studying our increasingly technological and mediated society and culture with an emphasis on historical context.
Media ecology scholarship emphasizes a humanistic approach to understanding media, communication, and technology, with special emphasis on the ways in which we have been and continue to be shaped and influenced by our inventions and innovation. The Media ecology approach is predicated on understanding that media, symbols, and technologies play a leading role in human affairs, and function as largely invisible environments affecting the way we think, feel, act, and organize ourselves collectively.

Fan Phenomena
Series Editor: Tim Mitchell
This series is prompted by a growing appetite for books that tap into the fascination we have with what constitutes an iconic or cultish phenomenon and how a particular person, TV show or film character/film infiltrates their way into the public consciousness. We will look at particular examples of ‘fan culture’ and approach the subject in an accessible manner aimed at both fans and those interested in the cultural and social aspects of these fascinating – and often unusual – ‘universes’.
The concept of the book series is to address cult/fan culture within a specified gaze. Topics will range from mythic actors like Marilyn Monroe and James Dean to the long-lasting television series Buffy The Vampire Slayer to film juggernauts like Harry Potter, James Bond and Star Wars.
Each of the subjects we choose have massive visual appeal as they deal with fan fashion, memorabilia, (fan)homages, merchandising and branding that help to create the immersive world that extends beyond the phenomenon itself. The books will aim to exploit this visual aspect to align them with other Intellect book series such as World Film Locations and Directory of World Cinema which make good use of relevant collected imagery.
The series aims to ‘decode’ cult subjects in terms of the appeal and far reaching connections each of them have in becoming part of popular culture. We are fully aware that these are not meant to be comprehensive, weighty tomes on the subject – rather a series of ‘handy’ books that each include a fascinating collection of essays which explore a particular area or aspect of the subject’s ‘universe’ in each chapter.

Film, Fashion & Consumption
Film, Fashion & Consumption is a peer-reviewed journal designed to provide an arena for the discussion of research, methods and practice within and between the fields of film, fashion, design, history, art history and heritage. The journal seeks to stimulate ongoing research on these topics and to attract contributions not only from scholars researching in these areas but also from practitioners, who are traditionally excluded from academic debate. The journal thus aims to unite and enlarge a community of researchers and practitioners in film, fashion, consumption and related fields, whilst also introducing a wider audience to new work, particularly to interdisciplinary research which looks at the intersections between film, fashion and consumption.

Global Health Humanities
Series Editors: Susan Hogan and Anna Greenwood
Global Health Humanities is a new book series from Intellect that will look at the global health humanities from a number of perspectives, incorporating:- medical humanities
- health humanities (broadly defined)
- history of medicine
- arts and health
A wide range of critical studies interrogating the epistemology of knowledge production will be considered. Forms of health knowledge production will be questioned. This is a series that will be attentive to the mutually constitutive nature of gender, sexual identity, cultural identity, disability, age and other categories of difference that shape social practices and individual lives. This sensitivity to cultural perspectives will form a critical, and distinctive, lens for the series. Topics of interest will include, but not be restricted to, global health inequalities and the health humanities; critical reflections on global health humanities; conceptualisations of health; global health in health humanities scholarship; global maternal health; critical analysis of representations of health and illness across cultures; gender inequality; gender issues in the arts and health.
The series will have multiple formats: traditional scholarly monographs, edited collections and shorter format volumes. It is anticipated that the shorter format will provide an easily accessible medium as a ‘way in’ for readers to learn about new aspects of health humanities. The shorter format books will comprise accessibly written, but still scholarly and referenced, introductions or case studies. Authors will include established scholars in the field, emerging early-career scholars, and practitioners.
Whilst health is a universal issue, it is experienced differently by those with different genders and sexual orientations. The way women, men, intersex, non-binary, and transgender people relate via the arts and humanities to their health remains under-researched. This is a striking omission in today’s world increasingly attuned to multiple modes of gender identification, as well as the ever-changing roles of women and men.
The series is targeted to appeal to health humanities scholars, clinicians and carers, and arts and humanities practitioners, as well as the learned general public.

International Journal of Food Design
The International Journal of Food Design (IJFD) is the first academic journal entirely dedicated to Food Design research and practice. We aim at creating a platform for researchers operating in the various disciplines that contribute to the understanding of Food Design.
Although the journal is open towards different background disciplines, knowledge and expertise, it only focuses on collecting any Food Design-related research outcome: research that somehow combines food and Design. We define Food Design as simply the discipline that connects food and Design: Design applied to food and eating, or food and eating investigated from a Design perspective. In other words, among all knowledge on food and eating, we look at research where Design has an important role, and among all knowledge on Design, we look at research that focuses on aspects of food or eating.

Journal of Contemporary Painting
Journal of Contemporary Painting responds to the territory and practice of contemporary painting in its broadest sense, viewing painting as a context for discussion, exploring its sphere of history and influence, rather than as a medium specific debate. The JCP combines a thematic approach with an open call, each issue opening up and problematising pressing concerns in contemporary painting.
As well as contributions to current debates on contemporary art, a particular feature of the Journal of Contemporary Painting is the publication of archival or newly translated texts alongside current responsive articles, based on the premise that contemporary painting cannot be understood without reflecting on its history. Dedication to understanding the nature and forms of painting research has also led to the inclusions of an original visual essay for every edition. Additionally we respond to current exhibitions, books and symposia, nationally and internationally, in our reviews section.
Our aim is to be responsive to current debates in painting and related art practices, drawing from a wide geographical field and across discipline boundaries to provide a discursive space in which a range of subject specialisms can be brought to bear on the culture of painting. We are particularly interested in writing emerging from practice-based research as well as from academics working in different disciplines.

Journal of Curatorial Studies
The Journal of Curatorial Studies is an international, peer-reviewed publication that explores the cultural functioning of curating and its relation to exhibitions, institutions, audiences, aesthetics and display culture.

While curating as a spatialized discourse of art objects remains important, the expanded cultural practice of curating not only produces exhibitions for audiences to view, but also plays a catalytic role in redefining aesthetic experience, framing cultural conditions in institutions and communities, and inquiring into constructions of knowledge and ideology.
