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...

The Romero Memory

Exploring Heritages of International Solidarity

2024 || Paperback || Judith Gruber e.a. || Leuven University Press

On 24 March 1980, Salvadoran archbishop Óscar Romero was assassinated while celebrating mass in San Salvador. During the last years of his life, Romero had become an outspoken opponent of the oppression by El Salvador’s dictatorial regime and a beacon of peace and hope in a country torn by injustice, inequality and violence. His assassination sparked global outrage and converged with a growing international awareness of the plight of Latin America. To this day, Romero continues to inspire ...

Moral Seascapes

On the Ethics and Aesthetics of Maritime Emergency

2024 || Paperback || Chiara Giubilaro e.a. || Leuven University Press

We are no strangers today to visual representations of human suffering at sea: the refugee crisis that continues to play out in the seascape between Europe and Africa (and not only there) yields an ever-growing archive of humanitarian tragedy. As both a visual backdrop and a lethal medium of unequal mobility, maritime space and landscape play a significant role in mediating the ethical demands of this crisis. Yet there has been little exploration of the longer history of morality’s role in ...

Pietro Pomponazzi and the Renaissance Theory of the Elements

A Study with Editions of Unpublished Texts

2024 || Hardcover || Luca Burzelli || Leuven University Press

In medieval and early modern natural philosophy, very few issues were as controversial as the nature of the elements. From the thirteenth up until the sixteenth century, European thinkers discussed this problem with growing interest. Defining the nature of the elements was key to deciphering the very structure of the universe and the essence of things. Along with five primary texts, here edited for the first time, this book discusses one of the most original contributions to this debate, that...

Retranslating the Bible and the Qur’an

Historical Approaches and Current Debates

2024 || Paperback || Elvira Kulieva e.a. || Leuven University Press

By spanning both historical and current aspects, and by treating the Bible and the Qur’an together, this book breaks new ground and paves the way for future research on the myriad discursive and religious aspects of retranslation.

This carefully curated collection of article argues that the retranslation of canonical religious texts is a multi-faceted phenomenon. The collection demonstrates that retranslations of such texts manifest in different forms, depending on the religious, political ...

Between Conventional and Experimental

Mass Housing and Prefabrication in Modernist Architecture

2024 || Paperback || Regine Hess e.a. || Leuven University Press

Mass housing and prefabrication shaped global modernist architecture like no other aspect of industrialised construction. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of how both conventional and experimental prototypes and series gave rise to an architecture for all, often responding to crises, the imperatives of nation-building, and housing shortages by rapidly developing, distributing, and assembling structures.

The book’s contributions, with a geographical emphasis on Europe and Israel,...

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...
