Working Through Colonial Collections

2022 || Paperback || Margareta Von Oswald || Leuven University Press
What are the possibilities and limits of engaging with colonialism in ethnological museums? This book addresses this question from within the Africa department of the Ethnological Museum in Berlin. It captures the Museum at a moment of substantial transformation, as it prepared the move of its exhibition to the Humboldt Forum, a newly built and contested cultural centre on Berlin’s Museum Island. The book discusses almost a decade of debate in which German colonialism was negotiated, and fu...

A Biographical Study of an Economic Crisis and New Beginnings

Hugo Grotius, Annals of the War in the Low Countries
Edition, Translation, and Introduction
2022 || Hardcover || Jan Waszink || Leuven University Press
The Annals of the War in the Low Countries is one of Hugo Grotius' lesser-known works. Grotius expresses a wayward view of the early revolt, which he presents not as a united battle for the true faith and the ancient liberties of the land but as a protracted and painful struggle, not only with the great power of Spain, but also with discord, selfishness and religious fanaticism among the Dutch. To convey this complex and controversial vision of the foundational years of the Dutch Republic, Gr...

Muslim Marriage and Non-Marriage
Where Religion and Politics Meet Intimate Life
2023 || Paperback || Julie McBrien e.a. || Leuven University Press
Unconventional Muslim marriages have been topics of heated public debate.

Couples entering into such marriages, however, often have different concerns from those publicly discussed. Based on ethnographic research in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Asia, the ch...

Georges Bizet
Les Pêcheurs de Perles
2023 || Paperback || Willem Bruls || Leuven University Press

De opera speelt zich af in Ceylon, het huidige Sri Lanka, waar de mooie Leïla, een priesteres ...

An Opaque Mirror For Trajan
A Literary Analysis and Interpretation of Plutarch's 'Regum et Imperatorum Apophthegmata'
2024 || Hardcover || Laurens Van der Wiel || Leuven University Press
Plutarch’s Regum et imperatorum apophthegmata (Sayings of Kings and Commanders) holds a peculiar position in his oeuvre. This collection of almost 500 anecdotes of barbarian, Greek, and Roman rulers and generals is introduced by a dedicatory letter to Trajan as a summary of the author’s well known and widely read Parallel Lives. The work is therefore Plutarch’s only text that explicitly addresses a Roman emperor and is likely to shed light on his biographical technique. Yet the collecti...
Performing by the Book?
Musical Negotiations between Text and Act
2024 || Paperback || Bruno Forment || Leuven University Press

In Performing by the Book? a carefully selected cadre of artist-researchers dissects this delicate act in critical ways. Offering first-hand insights into the notational, structural and interpretative challenges faced by musicians in dealing with texts of all kinds, the chapters traverse the spectrum between the Middle Ages and the age of Stockhausen. In a harmonious blend of scholarly allur...

KADOC Studies on Religion, Culture and Society Universalism and liberation
Paperback || Jacopo Cellini || Leuven University Press
The changing attitude of Catholic culture towards modernity.After decades of a problematic, if not plainly hostile, approach to modernity by Catholic culture, the 1960s marked the beginning of a new era. As the Church employed a more positive approach to the world, voices in the Catholic milieu embraced a radical perspective, channeling the need for social justice for the poor and the oppressed. The alternative and complementary world views of 'universalism' and 'liberation' would drive the e...
Design and Politics
Paperback || Katarina Serulus || Leuven University Press
The unique position of design in the political context of postwar Belgium.
In the postwar era, design became important as a marker of modernity and progress at world fairs and international exhibitions and in the global markets. The Belgian state took a special interest in this vanguard phenomenon of 'industrial design' as a vital political and economic strategic tool in the context of the Cold War and the creation of the European community. This book describes the unique position that design...
