>We invite proposals for monographs to be included in this new library for
>I.B.Tauris.
>
>The library is located within the visual culture list at I.B. Tauris, but
>has a number of clear links with other series and areas of study: film,
>television, art, cultural studies, history and politics, and thus would
>engage closely with other I.B.Tauris titles, whilst nonetheless
>differentiating itself in a number of ways (a number of our monographs
>represent the first theoretical analysis of their subject).
>
>Whilst gender is a heavily theorised subject, our library focuses on the
>work of innovative scholarly practice so that in many ways the monographs
>we would hope to commission are the first of their kind. We anticipate
>monographs which would be of relevance to a wide variety of disciplines
>related by the common theme of gender.
>
>The titles in the library are the work of both established and emerging
>academics in a variety of disciplines who are analysing gender in
>relatively unexplored areas. These innovative and avant-garde titles
>would enhance the existing catalogue of I.B. Tauris. Each monograph would
>be 70,000 words in length, and include a general introduction by the
>series editors to ensure that the links between the titles remain
>explicit.
>
>Whilst being emphatically interdisciplinary, the 'visual culture' list
>allows for critical texts focusing on gender that would prove interesting
>to a wider range of readers in academia and beyond, and catering to an
>international audience.
>Recently accepted titles include studies of gender in TV news technology;
>masculinity and postfeminism; steampunk and gender; and representations
>of the single mother in popular cinema. Forthcoming publications include
>an exploration of the homosexuality in early cinema, and an edited
>collection which explores gender and austerity in film, television and
>literature in the twenty-first century.
>
>In the first instance, we invite proposals (to include a summary of the
>book's aims and subject matter, chapter headings and an indication of
>readership) of about 500 words to be sent to both co-editors
>([log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]) by 1st
>September 2015.
