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.

The Workless: Stigma, Unpaid Labour and the Myth of Economic Inactivity by James Morrison is out now!

This book contests the hegemonic discourse around 'worklessness' - and dominant definitions of what we recognize as 'work'. It argues the current 'crisis' in economic inactivity is merely the latest in a long line of moral panics that have exaggerated the scale of 'worklessness' while denying the value of unpaid labour many 'workless' people do.

New review! ⭐

'Rather than a history of Anderson’s dance works, this book uses The Cholmondoleys and The Featherstonehaughs archives to bring life into once-precious costume and dance memory objects at risk of being forgotten or left to rot away without anyone noticing... In Smithereens comes through as a significant contribution to costume knowledge. The book chisels out a significant spot for itself within the sprawling landscape of literature on and with costume. First, the book manages to challenge the rules and beliefs associated with financially strong major museum holdings by way of hands-on activities possible to conduct by all sorts of persons in all sorts of fringe archives and odd storages. In offering what comes through as quite activist, yet highly respectful and ethical, ways of history making, In Smithreens also contributes useful ideas and insights to cross-disciplinary domains such as critical archival studies.'

- Astrid von Rosen, Studies in Costume & Performance
