Mongameli Mabona

Photography’s Materialities

Transatlantic Photographic Practices over the Long Nineteenth Century

2021 || Paperback || Geoff Bender e.a. || Leuven University Press

There is little dispute that photography is a material practice, and that the photograph itself is ineluctably material. And yet “matter,” “material,” and “materiality” have proven to be remarkably elusive terms of inquiry, frequently producing studies that are disparate in scope, sharing seemingly little common ground. Although the wide methodological range of materialist study can be dizzying, it is this book’s contention that that multiplicity is also the field’s greatest a...

A Cultural Symbiosis

Patrician Art Patronage and Medicean Cultural Politics in Florence (1530-1610)

2022 || Paperback || Klazina Botke e.a. || Leuven University Press

Contrary to general belief, the history of the Florentine patriciate did not end with the establishment of the State of Tuscany under de’ Medici in 1532. Proud and self-confident patricians did not become subservient courtiers overnight, but remained significantly influential for a long period. They retained their urban identity and longstanding family traditions, while acquiring noble titles, estates, and villas at the same time. The mark that these patricians continued to leave on the cit...

Material Change

The Impact of Reform and Modernity on Material Religion in North-West Europe, 1780-1920

2022 || Hardcover || Jan De Maeyer e.a. || Leuven University Press

The long nineteenth century (c.1780–c.1920) in Western Europe saw an unprecedented rise in the production and possession of material goods. The material culture diversified and led to a rich variety of expressions. Dovetailing with a process of confessionalisation that manifested itself quite simultaneously, material religion witnessed its heyday in this period; from church buildings to small devotional objects.

The present volume analyses how various types of reform (state, societal, and e...

Contemporary Portuguese Comics at the Intersection of Everyday Trauma

2022 || Paperback || Pedro Moura || Leuven University Press

Portugal's vibrant comics scene originated as early as the 19th century, bringing forth brilliant individual artists, but has remained mostly unknown beyond Portugal’s borders to this day.

Following the experience of the financial crisis of the past decades and its impact on social policies, access to and rules of public discourse, and civil strife, comics have questioned wha...
