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

Contributions to the series will focus on a wide range of subjects and will utilise numerous methodologies and perspectives. 

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.

Series editor: Sharon Louden<br/>The Living and Sustaining a Creative Life series of books reveal the realities of today's artists and culture producers. With volumes dedicated to the experience of practitioners across the creative arts, these timely publications comprise essays that generously share innovative models of creative lives that have been sustained over many years. Their first-hand stories show the general public how contemporary artists, creative individuals and change-makers of the twenty first century add to creative economies through their out-of-the-box thinking while also contributing to the well-being of others. Although there is a misconception that artists are invisible and hidden, the truth is that they furnish measurable and innovative outcomes at the front lines of education, the non-profit sector, and corporate environments. Intended to spark conversations across and beyond the arts, each path is an inspiring example that provides exceptional insight.<br/>All of the contributors have been chosen by guest editors within a specific field who are distinctive and generous in their own lives, with the aim to inspire new avenues for artists across the creative disciplines to thrive for years to come.

Music, Community, and Education is a focused monograph series that provides scholars and researchers with a platform for disseminating conceptually rich and empirically distinguished work that explores questions related to the impact music-making can have on those that participate and the cultural, political, and economic context through which it happens. To be accepted for publication, manuscripts must be judged as providing significant contributions to advancing cutting-edge research, promoting a wider discourse, and promoting the application of research and scholarship to policies and practices that improve our understanding of music, community and education. Monographs are intended to address their topic without being unduly narrow. They should be comprehensible to and engaging for, a general readership whilst valuable for scholars with shared research interests. Each book is expected to be written in a single voice even when it involves a collaboration between multiple scholars. Book proposals are welcome in any of the following areas that address questions relating to music-making; inclusivity, participation, social justice, democracy, power, community and pedagogy.

The Intellect Playtext series publishes, biannually, innovative performance texts under three interrelated strands: new writing (scripts), performance writings (‘non-traditional’ forms such as choreographic scores, devised performance texts, performance documentation) and translations (writing that is new to English-speaking audiences). The Playtext series makes available performance texts that are aesthetically and stylistically innovative as well as those that explore the socio-cultural and political contexts of their making. Each volume includes the performance texts alongside contextual essays that examine the processes of development, writing and performance as well as critical essays that discuss the texts from political, social, cultural and theoretical perspectives. Intellect's Playtext are concerned also to present volumes that engage with the wider historical and performance contexts of the work through, for example, the inclusion of production photographs, design sketches, historical documents and/or typographical design. The series celebrates critical writing, adaptation, translation and devising processes and provides a forum for textual performance practices-as-research. 

From 2002–2013 the Playtext series was edited by Roberta Mock.

Intellect’s Studies in Game Sound and Music will publish accessible, detailed books that provide in-depth academic of topics and texts in video game audio. The books will present detailed analysis, historical investigation, and treatment of conceptual and theoretical issues related to game audio.

The editors welcome proposals for monographs and collections of essays. The series aims to:

• reveal important information about major media texts,
• investigate game music in a degree of depth and detail hitherto unseen,
• address major critical issues in game music studies,
• deploy and evolve approaches of antecedent scholarship, and
• develop new ways examining this media music.

The titles will be significant texts in a blossoming field, at once drawing on the opportunity presented by the growing subject area, and supporting that development through the research they prompt and represent.

 The series will not seal game audio into a scholarly suburb, but will instead be outward looking: it seeks to engage game audio practitioners and researchers from a range of disciplines, including anthropology, performance studies, computer science, media studies, psychology, sociology, sound studies, as well as musicology. Recently contracted titles include a companion to music in The Legend of Zelda, a collection on nostalgia and video game music, and a collection on the work of Nobuo Uematsu.

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])
