Across Anthropology

Troubling Colonial Legacies, Museums, and the Curatorial

2020 || Paperback || Margareta von Oswald e.a. || Leuven University Press

How can we rethink anthropology beyond itself? In this book, twenty-one artists, anthropologists, and curators grapple with how anthropology has been formulated, thought, and practised ‘elsewhere’ and ‘otherwise’. They do so by unfolding ethnographic case studies from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland – and through conversations that expand these geographies and genealogies of contemporary exhibition making. This collection considers where and how anthropo...

CLUES Treasures in Trusted Hands

2017 || Paperback || Jos van Beurden || Sidestone Press Academics

Ikat from Timor and its outer Islands

Insular and Interwoven

2022 || Paperback || Peter ten Hoopen || Sidestone Press Dissertations

Paradoxically this technical perspective highlights the human factor. Focused on the last century of the colonial period, we see the weaver’s decisions in close-up, as if we are sitting next to her. This yields rich insights, not just in materiality, but also in the weavers’ creativity.

Asymmetry is widely distributed in...

Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood

Perspectives on Community-Building, Identity and Belonging

2022 || Paperback || Britta C. Jung || Leuven University Press

Urban neighbourhoods have come to occupy the public imagination as a litmus test of migration, with some areas hailed as multicultural success stories while others are framed as ghettos. In an attempt to break down this dichotomy, Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood filters these debates through the lenses of geography, anthropology, and literary and cultural studies. By establishing the interdisciplinary concept of the 'transnational neighbourhood', it presents these localities – whe...

2020 || Paperback || Frances Lennard e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

This ...

It is hung from altars and shrines at temple festivals and on festive holy days. Made usually of palm leaves, it is by nature ephemeral and it is made time and again. Even though permanent forms of the l...

Gilded Splendor

Iconography of the pendules noirs in the Parnassia Collection

2022 || Paperback || Bart Krieger e.a. || Ef & Ef Media

In this cahier, art historians Alette Fleischer (PhD) and Bart Krieger (M.A.) unravel the hidden messages of the black clocks of the Parnassia Collection and categorize them in a novel way. They have aimed to contextualize the pendulum clocks au Noir in the historic timeframe they were created in and displayed (ca 1790-1830) and uncovered some of their iconographic secrets with links to the transatlantic slavetrade, Eurocentrism and the French Enlightenment. Moreover, the two art historians p...
