KADOC-Studies on Religion, Culture and Society The Intimate

polity and the Catholic Church laws about life, death and the family in so-called Catholic countries

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

The waning influence of the Catholic church in the ethical and political debate.

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. When the polity started to introduce legislation that was in opposition to the Catholic ethic, the ecclesiastical authorities and part of the population reacted. The me...

2016 || Paperback || Pieter de Leemans e.a. || Leuven University Press

discourses, ideals, models and politics in 20th century exhibitions

2020 || Paperback || Gaia Caramellino e.a. || Leuven University Press

The book offers a first critical assessment of twentieth...

Voices, Bodies, Practices

Performing Musical Subjectivities

2019 || Paperback || Catherine Laws e.a. || Leuven University Press

Who is the “I” that performs? The arts of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have pushed us relentlessly to reconsider our notions of the self, expression, and communication: to ask ourselves, again and again, who we think we are and how we can speak meaningfully to one another. Although in other performing arts studies, especially of theatre, the performance of selfhood and identity continues to be a matter of lively debate in both practice and theory, the question of how a sense o...

Christian Democracy and the Fall of Communism

2019 || Hardcover || Michael Gehler e.a. || Leuven University Press

Debates on the role of Christian Democracy in Central and Eastern Europe too often remain strongly tied to national historiographies. With the edited collection the contributing authors aim to reconstruct Christian Democracy’s role in the fall of Communism from a bird's-eye perspective by covering the entire region and by taking “third-way” options in the broader political imaginary of late-Cold War Europe into account. The book’s twelve chapters present the most recent insights on th...

Across Anthropology

Troubling Colonial Legacies, Museums, and the Curatorial

2020 || Paperback || Margareta von Oswald e.a. || Leuven University Press

How can we rethink anthropology beyond itself? In this book, twenty-one artists, anthropologists, and curators grapple with how anthropology has been formulated, thought, and practised ‘elsewhere’ and ‘otherwise’. They do so by unfolding ethnographic case studies from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland – and through conversations that expand these geographies and genealogies of contemporary exhibition making. This collection considers where and how anthropo...

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 ...

Performance, Subjectivity, and Experimentation

2020 || Paperback || Catherine Laws || Leuven University Press

Music reflects subjectivity and identity: that idea is now deeply ingrained in both musicology and popular media commentary. The study of music across cultures and practices often addresses the enactment of subjectivity “in” music – how music expresses or represents “an” individual or “a” group. However, a sense of selfhood is also formed and continually reformed through musical practices, not least performance. How does this take place? How might the work of practitioners revea...

Psychical Realism

The Work of Victor Burgin

2020 || Paperback || Alexander Streitberger || Leuven University Press

His artwork both connects with and reacts to minimalism, conceptual art, staged photography, appropriation art, video art and, more recently, computer-based imaging. As a scholar his thinking is informed by phenomenology, semiotics, poststructuralism, feminist theory, and psychoanalysis.

This monograph provides a comprehensive and unique overview of Victor Burgin’s body of work over the...

Machinic Assemblages of Desire

Deleuze and Artistic Research

2021 || Paperback || Paulo De Assis e.a. || Leuven University Press

The concept of assemblage has emerged in recent decades as a central tool for describing, analysing, and transforming dynamic systems in a variety of disciplines. Coined by Deleuze and Guattari in relation to different fields of knowledge, human practices, and nonhuman arrangements, “assemblage” is variously applied today in the arts, philosophy, and human and social sciences, forming links not only between disciplines but also between critical thought and artistic practice. Machinic Asse...
