Big Books in Times of Big Data

2019 || Paperback || Inge van de Ven || Leiden University Press

Martin, Jonathan Franzen, and William T.

Children’s Literature in Translation

Texts and Contexts

2020 || Paperback || Jan Van Coillie e.a. || Leuven University Press

For many of us, our earliest and most meaningful experiences with literature occur through the medium of a translated children’s book. This volume focuses on the complex interplay that happens between text and context when works of children’s literature are translated: what contexts of production and reception account for how translated children’s books come to be made and read as they are? How are translated children’s books adapted to suit the context of a new culture? Spanning the ...

Ancient texts in modern contexts

2023 || Hardcover || Neil Brodie e.a. || Sidestone Press Academics

Since the eighteenth century, many if not most ancient and medieval manuscripts or other text-bearing or associated objects have been procured through imperial expropriation or through the antiquities market with little or no evidence of findspot or place of original deposition and with no assurance of legal provenance or authenticity. The consequences of these questionable acquisition practices for scholarship and for our understanding of the past are the focus of much enquiry.

The Future of the Postcolonial Past

beyond Representation

2017 || Paperback || Elleke Boehmer || Leiden Publications

In this essay Elleke Boehmer shares her interest in new moves in the postcolonial field to direct attention to the communicative and interpretative 'how' rather than the themed 'what' of representation; to the process of reading and reception rather than the political 'objects of difference' that are represented in texts.

It is this move beyond the phenomenology of 'code' that she believes maps the postcolonial future. Through a reinvigoration of postcolonial poetics and reader reception, Boe...

Plutarch’s Cosmological Ethics

2022 || Hardcover || Bram Demulder || Leuven University Press

Plutarch of Chaeronea (c. 45-120 CE) is the most prolific and influential moral philosopher in the Platonic tradition. This book is a fundamental reappraisal of Plutarch’s ethical thought. It shows how Plutarch based his ethics on his particular interpretation of Plato’s cosmology: our quest for the good life should start by considering the good cosmos in which we live. The practical consequences of this cosmological foundation permeate various domains of Greco-Roman life: the musician, t...

Finally, it asks why some texts fascinate people so much that they are reprodu...
