Intellect is an independent academic publisher in the fields of creative practice and popular culture, publishing scholarly books and journals that exemplify our mission as publishers of original thinking. We aim to provide a vital space for widening critical debate in new and emerging subjects, and in this way we differ from other publishers by campaigning for the author rather than producing a b

ook or journal to fill a gap in the market. We publish in four distinct subject areas: visual arts, film studies, cultural and media studies, and performing arts. These categories host Intellect’s ever-expanding topics of enquiry, which include photography, drawing, curation, community music, gaming and scenography. Intellect titles are often multidisciplinary, presenting scholarly work at the cross section of arts, media and creative practice. Intellect seeks to offer an unbiased platform for quality critical debate. We are committed to representing the author’s voice authentically, without imposition of our personal ideas or opinions. We place great emphasis on serving our authors and editors, customers, and communities. As a mission-based publisher, we are committed to reinvesting in our publishing activities.

Intellect is pleased to announce that Critical Studies in Fashion & Beauty 16.2 is out now!

Critical Studies in Fashion & Beauty engages analytically, critically and creatively with fashion and/or beauty. It aims to challenge issues such as the conflation of fashion and beauty, the exclusion of masculinities, people of colour, older adults, differentially abled individuals and q***r and transgender subjectivities in fashion and/or beauty discourse and the blurring of distinct fashion and/or beauty industries.

Including ‘Volodymyr Zelensky: A new Ukrainian masculinity’ by Alla Myzelev and ‘Material memories and Black womanhood: Asserting presence in conventional university archives through collective-declaration’ by Dyese L. Matthews and Denise Nicole Green

Intellect is pleased to announce that Studies in Costume & Performance 10.2 is out now!

Special Issue: ‘Costume and Character in Film and Television’.

Building on the theme and work of the Critical Costume 2024 conference hosted at UCLA, this Special Issue examines the multifaceted role of costume across film and television, as well as beyond the screen. The contributions highlight how costume operates simultaneously as design, labour, cultural text and political medium, shaping meaning within narratives and extending into broader cultural, social and activist contexts.

Including ‘Costuming The Handmaid’s Tale: The silent power of clothes’ by Sarah Heaton and ‘Very figurative dress: Costuming Lemony Snicket’s metafictional narrative voice’ by
Julie Scharf.
