Intellect is delighted to announce that this month sees the publication 
of _Planet Cosplay: Costume Play, Identity and Global Fandom 
<http://www.intellectbooks.com/planet-cosplay>_by Paul Mountfort, Anne 
Peirson-Smith and Adam Geczy.


This book examines cosplay from a set of ground-breaking disciplinary 
approaches, highlighting the latest and emerging discourses around this 
popular cultural practice. Planet Cosplay is authored by 
widely-published scholars in this field, examining the central aspects 
of cosplay ranging from sources and sites to performance and play, from 
sex and gender to production and consumption. Topics discussed include 
the rise of cosplay as a cultural phenomenon and its role in personal, 
cultural, and global identities. Planet Cosplay provides a unique, 
multifaceted examination of the practice from theoretical bases 
including popular cultural studies, performance studies, gender studies, 
and transmedia studies. As the title suggests, the book's purview is 
global, encompassing some of the main centers of cosplay throughout the 
United States, Asia, Europe and Australasia. Each of the chapters offers 
not only a set of entry points into its subject matter, but also a 
narrative of the development of cosplay and scholarly approaches to it.
