Cambodian Visual Culture and National Identity in the Aftermath of Genocide
2020 || Paperback || Boreth Ly || University of Hawai'i Press
How do the people of a morally shattered culture and nation find ways to go on living? Cambodians confronted this challenge following the collective disasters of the American bombing, the civil war, and the Khmer Rouge genocide. The magnitude of violence and human loss, the execution of artists and intellectuals, the erasure of individual and institutional cultural memory all caused great damage to Cambodian arts, culture, and society. Author Boreth Ly explores the "traces" of this haunting p...

Nearness
Art and Education After Covid-19
2020 || Paperback || Marlies De Munck e.a. || Valiz
The Covid-19 crisis teaches us how priceless human nearness is. Art and education can't do without it either. Like works of art, people lose their aura when kept at digital arm's length. Art is lifeless when it can't resonate with bodies. In Nearness, Marlies De Munck and Pascal Gielen diagnose a new reality. Only culture marks the difference between surviving and living.
Nearness is also available in Dutch as a separate publication with the title Nabijheid.

Lucassen
2020 || Hardcover || Reinier Lucassen || Samsara
Firstly I remember the way Lucassen used to look at things, his eyes so indescribably still and attentive. The eyes of a painter looking at things in order to make them still. Painters look with intense patience so that they will not disregard even the smallest of things. They look that way at a painting for a long time while it is being made – until the work is finished. It is finished when the painter no longer knows how to continue.
But still he goes on looking and peering to see what th...

Creative Theories of (Just-About) Everything
A Journey into Origins and Imaginations
2020 || Paperback || Jeroen Lutters || Valiz
Creativiteit wordt geprezen als de drijvende kracht en de belangrijkste vaardigheid van de eenentwintigste eeuw. Het debat over de oorsprong en het potentieel van creativiteit speelt zich voornamelijk af binnen het domein van de natuur- en sociale wetenschappen, en weinig in de humaniora. Gebruikmakend van inzichten uit deze velden, puttend uit ideeën van Parmenides, Spinoza, Goethe, Emerson, Nietzsche, Freud, Benjamin, Bergson, Deleuze, Spivak en vele anderen, stelt Jeroen Lutters dat creat...
