Proposal for photography and critical text for a new series of photo books by Intellect
Since 1986, Intellect has provided a vital space for widening critical debate in new and emerging subjects. As a leading academic publisher in the fields of creative practice and popular culture, Intellect has a strong list of visual culture and contemporary art focussed publications. We aim to offer a platform for photographers, writers and creative artists to present and critically reflect on their work and to produce original, adventurous projects.
Critical Photography seeks to encourage visual and textual reflection on/with contemporary photography; to marry photographic work and critical texts, representing a balance between the two forms. The series is at the forefront in expanding the notion of critical debate: each book investigates a theoretical issue via two systems of representation, placing them at equal level. Neither text that 'explains' pictures nor photography that 'illustrates' text, the series addresses aspects of our being and becoming in a thought-provoking and aesthetically stunning form and content.
We are interested to receive proposals both in photography and critical writing for the series. To send a proposal for a volume in the series, please download a questionnaire http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/MediaManager/File/CriticalPhotography_proposal.doc or contact [email protected].
For further information, contact the series editor Alfredo Cramerotti ([email protected]).

About us
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 book or journal to fill a gap in the market.
We publish in four distinct subject areas: visual arts, film studies, cultural & 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 providing a service to our authors and editors.
We have a robust international distribution arrangement, including partners such as the University of Chicago Press, Turpin Distribution, Gardners, Inbooks and Book Editions.
