2015 || Paperback || Karel Dobbelaere e.a. || Leuven University Press

Scenes of Industrial Reconversion in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais Coalfield
2019 || Paperback || Jorge Ribalta || Leuven University Press
The Nord-Pas-de-Calais mining region, bordering on Belgium, is part of northern Europe’s historical centre of heavy industry, which extends as far as the Ruhr area in Germany.

Christoph Schlingensief’s Opera Village Africa as postcolonial Gesamtkunstwerk?
2022 || Paperback || Sarah Hegenbart || Leuven University Press
Opera Village, a participatory art experiment by the late German multimedia artist Christoph Schlingensief, serves as a testing ground for a critical interrogation of Richard Wagner’s notion of the Gesamtkunstwerk. Sarah Hegenbart traces the path from Wagner’s introduction of the Gesamtkunstwerk in Bayreuth to Schlingensief’s attempt to charge the idea of the total artwork with new meaning by transposing it to the West African country Burkina Faso. Schlingensief developed Opera Village ...

Propaganda, Photography, and the Apartheid Regime Between the Late 1940s and the Mid-1970s
2023 || Paperback || Katharina Jörder || Leuven University Press

At its core was the information service that strongly capitalised on photography to visually articulate the minority regime’s racist political messages, promote Afrikaner nationalism, and consolidate white rule. By unearthing a substantial corpus of photographs that so far have been hidden in archives, this book offers a distinctive perspective on the institutional context of the regime’s photograph...

Intersectional Perspectives on Class Identity and Precarity in Contemporary Culture
2024 || Paperback || Michiel Rys e.a. || Leuven University Press

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 commentary of the Italian physician and philosopher Pietro d'Abano on Bartholomew of Messina's Latin translation of Pseudo-Aristotle's Problemata Physica, published in 1310, constitutes an important historical source.
