Kadoc-Studies on Religion, Culture and Society The pious sex
catholic constructions of masculinity and femininity in Belgium, c. 1800-1940
2013 || Paperback || Tine van Osselaer || Universitaire Pers Leuven
The construction of gender in Belgian Catholicism.
Although women were called the 'pious sex' much earlier, it was during the nineteenth century, when the differences between men and women were being made more explicit, that an intense bond between women and religion was developed. Religiosity was thought to be a 'natural' part of femininity and turned religious masculinity into an oddity. This clear-cut gender ideology, however, remains an ideology (prescribed and contested) that needs to be...

The art of arguing in the world of renaissance humanism / druk 1
2013 || Paperback || Marc Laureys e.a. || Universitaire Pers Leuven
Strategies and characteristics of scournful criticism and fierce debate in the Humanist tradition
Renaissance humanists were often engaged in a wide variety of polemics, ranging from matter-of-fact debate to scathing invective. The programmatic nature of Renaissance humanism, intent on a fundamental reform of language, education, and society at large, led the humanists almost inevitably to conflicts with those who represented other intellectual traditions, first and foremost the Scholastics. ...
Gum Arabic
The Golden tears of the Acacia Tree
|| Paperback || Dorrit van Dalen || Leiden University Press
Gum Arabic is a natural product which grows exclusively in the Sahel and has played an ever increasing role in the global economy. In the time of the crusades, Europeans bought the ingredient in Arab countries. Soon, it was not only used in ink or medicine, but also as a symbol of its putative Arab origin, the noble Orient. Later, gum was bought directly in the countries where it was produced, but western dependence on it grew. As European countries were laying the foundations for their colon...
