(22)
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.

Call for Submissions: New Book Prize, The International Journal of Islamic Architecture (IJIA), deadline: December 30, 2024
The International Journal of Islamic Architecture is pleased to announce the IJIA Book Award. Since the publication of its first issue in 2012, the journal has emerged as a vibrant, interdisciplinary platform for multifaceted approaches to the study of architecture. The IJIA Book Award will likewise celebrate the intellectual exploration of architecture, architectural history, urbanism, and related social issues within the Islamic world in both historical and contemporary contexts.
The IJIA Book Award recognizes outstanding books that showcase the importance of research-based inquiry and the scholarly advancement of studies in Islamic architecture, architectural history, and urbanism. The award will highlight outstanding books that foster interdisciplinary dialogue in architectural scholarship and practice from a broad spectrum of subjects ranging from design, art, architecture, preservation, and landscape, to urban design and planning. The winning projects will reflect the journal's commitment to the diverse narratives that shape the built environment across different traditions and time periods, and from underrepresented contexts, places, and cultures. With this in mind, the Islamic world is understood to include the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia, the geographies of Islam in its global dimensions, vibrant groups in diaspora, and the communities that create architecture in predominantly Muslim societies.
The IJIA Book Award will catalyze scholars, architects, practitioners and enthusiasts as they engage with the artistic, urban, and architectural works that resonate with cultural identity, social dynamics, and historical change. Awardees will receive a prize and a two-year subscription to IJIA. Additional recognition may also be awarded. All books published in English with a copyright date between January 1, 2022, and December 30, 2024, are eligible. Authored books, edited volumes, and exhibition catalogs are welcome. Submissions, including copies of the book and the form, must be received by December 30, 2024. For more information, please visit the journal’s website. Questions may be sent to [email protected].
