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 Journal of Gaming & Virtual Worlds 16.2 is out now! 🎮

Special Issue: ‘Games, Books and Gamebooks’

Games and books, understood in the broadest possible sense, interrelate in numerous different ways. Books and games can take each other’s form; they inspire and augment, expand and specify, contextualize and transform one another. We can ‘read’ games, and we can ‘play’ books. This Special Issue discusses game-book hybrids, gamebooks, as complex entities worthy of their own attention. The focus is specifically on the intersections of games and books (instead of, for instance, games and literature, or games and narratives) as these offer a site for a fruitful cross-disciplinary work.

Including ‘The dragon caught in amber: Greyhawk novels as narrative adaptations of adventure modules’ by Jukka Särkijärvi and Hanne Juntunen.

Intellect is pleased to announce that Design Ecologies Volume 13 is out now!

Special Issue: ‘Architectures of Varying Power’

As buildings need bodies, architectural design needs new modalities in unpacking space making and habitation. Space making and habitation have often been studied whole in space but never whole in time, while spaces adapt best when constantly refined and reshaped by their occupants.

Including ‘Sigmund Freud’s drawings of his early rooms: A prelude to the founding spaces of psychoanalysis’ by Natalija Subotincic and ‘Instruct, control and dominate: Discourse on the interrelationship between body and architecture’ by Philip Liu.

New Book Review!

'Wetrospective celebrates over thirty years of Dobkin's compelling practice, from cabaret performances to unannounced interventions. [Jess Dobkin’s Wetrospective] restages the exhibition in print. Designed by Lisa Kiss, the oversized volume features full-bleed colour images on almost every page, as well as writings by Chhangur, editor Laura Levin and a large cast of colleagues. It also includes illuminating drawings and writings by the artist.

Jess Dobkin is hands-down my favourite Canadian Performance Artist. Her work is bold, thoughtful, resonant, and accessible - deftly balancing confrontation with comedy. Jess Dobkin’s Wetrospective: Constellating performance archives is the first comprehensive survey of her work, clearly produced by all involved as a labour of love.'

Intellect is pleased to announce that Drawing: Research, Theory, Practice 9.2 is out now! ✍️

Special Issue: ‘Drawing Disobedient Bodies’

This Special Issue explores the role of drawing in relation to situations where bodies deviate from their desires – experiencing ruptures, becoming out-of-sync and causing senses to go awry. This bodily disobedience creates a rift between our desires and actualities, leading to a lack of alignment. When these imbalances fail to synchronize, we find ourselves desiring something detached from our physical experiences which leaves our bodies yearning for expression.

Including ‘Alive but not real: Gestural lines and the ambiguous bodies of modern manga’ by Henrique Teixeira Reis and ‘Bonding as a spatial practice: Bonding through drawing’ by İpek Avanoğlu.

2024 marked a significant milestone for Intellect Books & Journals as we celebrated our 40th anniversary.

To say we have grown would be an understatement. From our humble origins dispatching our very first publications from our founder’s home in Oxford, United Kingdom, we now employ more than 30 people and publish around 70 books and 112 journals per year. Intellect is a major global publisher of international scholarly books and journals, across the arts and humanities and the social sciences.

As part of our celebrations over the year we have produced a series of YouTube podcasts with our authors, staff and the broader academic community. We have shared free journal articles and book chapters on a weekly basis through our social media channels and to wrap up the festivities we have created a very special edition of the Intellect Quarterly (IQ) magazine, a one–off issue to commemorate our 40th anniversary.

IQ 40 is a celebration of our past, our present, and of course, our future. We couldn’t have reached this milestone without the valuable contributions of many people, so you’ll find, between the pages of this magazine, a varied selection of writings by our authors, contributors, employees and partners.

Here’s to us and all those who have been with us on this voyage – past and present – as well as to those who have yet to start their journey with Intellect.

New Book Review! 🩺

'Drs. Shah and Foell lay out a diagnosis of what is wrong in the contemporary practice of medicine: excessive protocols, productivity measures, digitalization, and restrictive algorithms that come between the humanity of the physician and the humanity of the patient. When doctors become "street-level bureaucrats" (38) their allegiances are torn between doing what the institution demands and what the patient needs. This is truly a loss of soul for both physician (leading to burnout, compassion fatigue, and moral injury) and for the patient (dehumanization, de-individualization, and being processed and protocolized). Although the authors work in the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK, their vignettes resonate with doctors in the US dealing with fragmentation of care, layers of bureaucracy, and prior authorization with insurance companies, while working in large institutional healthcare systems.

The authors give numerous clinical vignettes that illustrate the tensions between institutional medicine and individualized care. Their prescription for healing is found in their attention to the stories of their patients; their own stories of resistance by sneaking healing back into medicine through "micro-breaches" (194) of generosity within the institutional machine; and their work to connect to the full humanity of themselves and share that with the full humanity of patients.

Drs. Shah and Foell give us hope for practice within institutional settings by reminding us to always search for the story and soul of healing in medicine, so that we can be good human beings as well as good technicians and protocol managers.'

- David Kopacz, Doctor

In Search of Tito’s Punks by Barry Phillips is the final 2024 top seller we are sharing this festive season.

An unvarnished but also affectionate portrait of Yugoslavia in the years before its demise through to the present, seen through the unlikely lens of punk and punk rockers. Part travelogue, part history the book is both, and neither, of those things. A mural and soundtrack of a journey through a time and place which no longer exists.
