It was with pleasure that Intellect attended the Journal of Media Practice symposium 2011 'Postdigital Encounters', in our home town of Bristol. It was hosted by University of West of England at Bristol Arts venue and cinema, The Watershed - a venue familiar to Intellect staff.
We were lucky enough to hear several of the presentations, and were treated to a range of papers exploring how digital technologies have redefined creativity and media practice in teaching and research. We heard of exciting new projects in areas such as pedagogy and in collaborative film-making. Audience participation was a key part, which meant having a go at writing stories, and engaging in debate on the nature of creativity.
We look forward to reading more of some of these in future issues of the journal.
We would like to thank the organisers for a great event, and it was good to see both new and familiar faces. We look forward to next year's symposium!

Intellect's World Film Locations series of books explore the relationship between the city and cinema by using a predominantly visual approach. Alongside short bite-sized texts about carefully chosen film scenes, each city is exposed through evocative movie stills and complimented by short but insightful essays about themes, ideas and key historical periods.
In advance of the print publication of the first set of books, we are pleased to make available a sneek preview on the iPad.
while Dublin, Paris and Tokyo will be added shortly and the app will automatically update as soon as new books are released. The first book you download is free. The rest of the books are £5.95 each.

Intellect is delighted to announce that the second volume of Craft Research
(CRRE) is now available.
The journal publishes articles, papers, reports and reviews to promote and
report on current and emerging craft research. Making this knowledge, in
whatever form, available to the community will help build and advance craft,
and present it - in all its diversity - as a strong and essential force that
cannot be overlooked.
Submissions are due on or before Sept. 1, 2011.
The mission of Visual Inquiry: Learning & Teaching Art is to provide a forum for engaging the complex, rich and multifaceted process of learning and teaching art. Published three times a year and peer reviewed, the print-based journal will launch its first publication in Jan. 2011. The journal highlights the process of creating art, teaching as an art form, engaging art submissions, scholarship in teaching artistry, and the rich traditions of art making and teaching. The call for papers is open to anyone concerned with issues related to learning and teaching art.
The journal seeks a serious yet experimental approach to publication that values the myriad of visual art processes in contemporary culture. Readable to the outsider yet encouraging and challenging to the experienced artist-teacher, the journal will fill a niche in art and art education with a breadth and enthusiasm missing in contemporary art and art education journals.
Each issue will feature:
1) Academic peer reviewed articles
2) Interviews with artist-teachers
3) Artwork and statements emphasizing learning and teaching
4) Reviews of books
5) Reviews of exhibitions
6) Reviews of significant art educational experiences
7) Reviews of relevant conferences

*Art appreciation *Learning and teaching in museums
*Teaching artistry *The role of creativity in learning and teaching

An interview with Chris Richardson, co-editor of Intellect's Habitus of the Hood
"Representations of the ‘hood in popular culture often differs from the realities of the community, an issue Chris Richardson, PhD candidate in the Faculty of Information and Media Studies, explores in his new book, Habitus of the Hood.
When Chris Richardson completed his undergraduate degree in journalism, he had two choices: Beat them or join them?
Richardson knows what it is like for neighbourhoods and communities to be misrepresented in the media having grown up in Scarborough. While his hometown has been given a bad reputation for being a hotbed of criminal activity, Richardson’s lived experience shows a different side.
“It was a question of whether I wanted to contribute to these stigmatizing representations or whether I wanted to fight them,” he says of his decision whether or not to become a reporter.
Instead, he chose to fight and his weapon of choice was academia."
