Re-Imagining Class
Intersectional Perspectives on Class Identity and Precarity in Contemporary Culture
2024 || Paperback || Michiel Rys e.a. || Leuven University Press
Contemporary culture not merely reflects ongoing societal transformations, it shapes our understanding of rapidly evolving class realities. Literature, theatre, and film urge us to put the question of class back on the agenda, and reconceptualize it through the lens of precarity and intersectionality. Relying on examples from British, French, Spanish, German, American, Swedish and Taiwanese culture, the contributors to this book document a variety of aesthetic strategies in an interdisciplina...

On 24 March 1980, Salvadoran archbishop Óscar Romero was assassinated while celebrating mass in San Salvador.

Architectures of Resistance
Negotiating Borders Through Spatial Practices
2024 || Paperback || Angeliki Sioli e.a. || Leuven University Press
Borders between countries, neighbourhoods, people, beliefs, and policies are proliferating and expanding despite what self-proclaimed progressive societies wish or choose to believe. For a wide variety of reasons, the early 21st century is caught struggling between breaking down barriers and raising them. Architecture is complicit in both. It is central to the perpetuation of borders, and key to their dismantling. Architectures of Resistance: Negotiating Borders Through Spatial Practices appr...
Giacomo Puccini
Madama Butterfly
2024 || Paperback || Elias Van Dyck || Leuven University Press
Madama Butterfly, de zesde opera van Giacomo Puccini, wordt vaak te snel afgedaan als een sentimentele smartlap. Puccini’s ongeëvenaarde lyriek en dramatische flair stuwen de geisha Cio-Cio-San, grenzeloos verliefd op de hedonistische Amerikaanse luitenant Pinkerton, naar een ultieme daad van zelfopoffering. Dit is het werk van een componist op het toppunt van zijn kunnen. Bovendien biedt de opera ook vandaag stof tot nadenken. Puccini besteedde grote zorg aan de muzikale uitwerking van de...
