Heraldic Hierarchies

Identity, Status and State Intervention in Early Modern Heraldry

2021 || Paperback || Steven Thiry e.a. || Leuven University Press

Early modern heraldry was far from a nostalgic remnant from a feudal past. From the Reformation to the French Revolution, aspiring men seized on these signs to position themselves in a changing society, imbuing heraldic tradition with fresh meaning. Whereas post-medieval developments are all too often described in terms of decadence and stifling formality, recent studies rightly stress the dynamic capacity of bearing arms.

Heraldic Hierarchies aims to correct former misconceptions. Contributi...

American Protestant Missions in Western Europe, 1940-1975

For the first time, Europe became the recipient of America’s missionary enterprise.

The American missionary impulse matched the military, economic, and political programs of the U.S., all of w...

The Art of Being Dangerous

Exploring Women and Danger through Creative Expression

Male Bonds in Nineteenth-Century Art

2022 || Paperback || Thijs Dekeukeleire e.a. || Leuven University Press

Male bonds were omnipresent in nineteenth-century European artistic scenes, impacting the creation, presentation, and reception of art in decisive ways. Men’s lives and careers bore the marks of their relations with other men. Yet, such male bonds are seldom acknowledged for what they are: gendered and historically determined social constructs. This volume shines a critical light on male homosociality in the arts of the long nineteenth century by combining art history with the insights of g...

Neocolonialism, Investment, and the New Scramble

2022 || Paperback || Bekeh Utietiang Ukelina || Leuven University Press

The independence of African countries from their European colonizers in the late 1950s and 1960s marked a shift in the continent's political leadership. Nevertheless, the economies of African nations remained tied to those of their former colonies, raising questions of resource control and the sovereignty of these nation-states.

Who Owns Africa? addresses the role of foreign actors in Africa and their competing interests in exploiting the resources of Africa and its people. An interdisciplina...

Empire and Postcolonial Resonance in Central Africa and Belgium

2022 || Paperback || Pierre-Philippe Fraiture || Leuven University Press

The contributing authors approach colonial legacies from an interdisciplinary perspective and examine how literature, politics, the arts, the press, cinema, museal practices, architecture, and language policies – but also justice and ethics – h...

Critical Perspectives on Post-war Modern Housing

2023 || Paperback || Andrea Migotto e.a. || Leuven University Press

In the light of the current housing and environmental crisis and increasing social inequalities, there is a growing sense of urgency for architecture as a discipline to engage with the transformation in housing evident in the postwar period. Rather than conceiving this task as a technical matter, this book proposes to reassess the conditions and legacy of this large and ubiquitous housing stock. By foregrounding the mismatch between constructed cultural, social and ideological narratives and ...

Ubuntu

A Comparative Study of an African Concept of Justice

2024 || Paperback || Paul Nnodim e.a. || Leuven University Press

Ubuntu is an African philosophical tradition that embodies the ability of one human being to empathize with another. It is the quintessence of African humanism, communalism, and belonging. As the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu anticipated, Ubuntu resonated with the moral intuition of the majority of black South Africans in the 1990s. As a result, it became the foundational ethical basis for articulating a new post-apartheid era of reconciliation and forgiveness in the face of a history marked b...
