For centuries the Catholic Church was able to impose her ethical rules in matters related to the intimate, that is, questions concerning life (from its beginning until its end) and the family, in the so-called Catholic countries in Western Europe.

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

Throughout the apartheid era South Africa maintained a wide-reaching propaganda apparatus. 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...
