Book Series
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.

Urban Chic
ISSN: 2053-7077
E-ISSN: 2053-7085
Book Series
Series Editor: Susan Ingram York University Toronto Canada<br/>The Urban Chic series is premised on the fact that a new wave of urban change is afoot. It is a series of ‘locational histories of cities’ fashion’ that use unique spaces of specific cities to show the interplay between fashion in its art historical understanding as clothing or dress on one hand and fashion more broadly conceived as social change on the other. Each volume seeks to establish how a city’s urban imaginary has evolved in dialogue with the fashion system and how cultural institutions involving dress design and particular looks and styles have informed those imaginaries.
Urban Music Studies
ISSN: 2752-4442
E-ISSN: 2752-4450
Book Series
Urban Music Studies aims at an inter- and trans-disciplinary exchange between researchers working on the relationship between the music and the city. The series covers a broad range of topics and musical practices current as well as historical. With its cross cultural point of departure and the focus on countries and geographical regions which are normally excluded from the scientific discourse (such as Global South) this series will bring fresh perspectives on the role of music in the accelerated urbanisation processes.
We welcome proposals for monographs readers and edited collections.

World Film Locations
ISSN: 2045-9009
E-ISSN: 2045-9017
Book Series
The World Film Locations series explores and reveals the relationship between the city and cinema by using a predominantly visual approach perfectly suited to the medium of film. The city continues to play a central role in a multitude of films helping us to frame our understanding of place and of the world around us. Whether as elaborate directorial love letters or as time specific cultural settings the city acts as a vital character in helping to tell a story.
These are the issues that have prompted the World Film Locations book series and which we are excited to explore further looking at questions such as: How is cinema helping to shape our view of the city? What is the role of the city in film? How can we engage with and better understand different cultures through the medium of film?
Alongside brief texts about carefully chosen film scenes and insightful essays about themes directors and key historical periods relating to each individual city each book is illustrated throughout with evocative movie stills city maps and location photographs.
