Mirrors of Entrapment and Emancipation
forugh Farrokhzad and Sylvia Plath
|| Paperback || Leila Rahimi Bahmany || Leiden University Press
Mirrors of Entrapment and Emancipation explores the rich diversity of the meanings associated with the mirror and reflection in literature by women on the basis of the works of the Persian Forugh Farrokhzad (1935-1967) and her American contemporary Sylvia Plath (1932-1963). These two poets astutely employed mirror images for the realization as well as for communication of their turbulent psycho-emotional states to their readers, thereby capturing and conveying the essence of women desperately...
Irreverent Persia
invective, satirical and burlesque poetry from the origins to the timurid period (10th to 15th century)
2015 || Paperback || Riccardo Zipoli || Leiden University Press
Poetry expressing criticism of social, political and cultural life is a vital integral part of Persian literary history. Its principal genres - invective, satire and burlesque - have been very popular with authors in every age. Despite the rich uninterrupted tradition, such texts have been little studied and rarely translated. Their irreverent tones range from subtle irony to crude direct insults, at times involving the use of outrageous and obscene terms. This anthology includes both major a...
The Island of Skyros from Late Roman to Early Modern Times Archaeological studies Leiden University (ASLU)
an archaeological survey
2015 || Paperback || Michalis Karambinis || Leiden University Press
Aegean archaeology has mainly concentrated on Prehistoric and Greco-Roman times and has provided relatively little information on human activity and material culture in the medieval period. Historical research concerning the medieval era is sufficiently developed but archaeological research on the medieval Aegean has mainly focused on matters of art and architecture. In fact, we have an overall picture of the medieval and post-medieval periods for only a few islands of the Aegean. This ASLU v...
Terrorists on Trial
a performative perspective
2016 || Paperback || Beatrice de Graaf e.a. || Leiden University Press
Terrorism trials are an exceptional opportunity for better understanding and, hence, countering terrorism, since they are often the only place where most if not all of the actors of a terrorist incident meet again, and where the media report and broadcast their respective accounts. A nexus between terrorist violence, law enforcement and public opinion, terrorism trials showcase justice in progress and thus demonstrate to the world how terrorism suspects are treated under national law.

Archaeological studies Leiden University (ASLU) The Mesoamerican codex re-entangled
production, use and re-use of pre-colonial documents
|| Ludo Snijders || Leiden University Press
This innovative work attempts to piece together the cultural biography of Mesoamerica's precolonial codices. Today less than twenty extant manuscripts are all that remains of the Mesoamerican book-making tradition. These pictographic and hieroglyphic texts have often been studied for their content, but in doing so their nature as physical objects faded into the background. By tracing the paths these books have followed over the past five hundred years, this study acquaints the reader with the...
Spatial patterns in landscape archaeology
A GIS Procedure to Study Settlement Organization in Early Roman Colonial Territories
|| Paperback || Anita Casarotto || Leiden University Press
This 43th volume of the ASLU series presents a useful GIS procedure to study settlement patterns in landscape archaeology. In several Mediterranean regions archaeological sites have been mapped by fieldwalking surveys, producing large amounts of data. These legacy site-based survey data represent an important resource to study ancient settlement organization. Methodological procedures are necessary to cope with the limits of these data, and more importantly with the distortions on data patter...
My Mother's Mother's Mother
South African Women's Writing from 17th Century Dutch to Contemporary Afrikaans
2019 || Hardcover || Pieta van Beek e.a. || Leiden University Press
For the first time more than seventy South African women’s voices, from 1652 until today, are collected and published in one volume. Initially we hear their voices in Dutch, then in different varieties of Afrikaans, bearing witness to the fascinating development of a new language. We share the joys and sorrows of these women; their entertaining, sometimes gruesome stories.
The printing press arrived late at the Cape, and when it finally did, it took another century before the first publica...

Southern Africa and American Lawyers and Clients During the Apartheid Era

Kennedy. Between 1963 and 1994, the Southern Africa Project connected lawyers from Namibia, South Africa, and the United States.

De zeventiende eeuw
2021 || Hardcover || Helmer J. Helmers e.a. || Leiden University Press || met inkijkexemplaar
Wie ‘zeventiende eeuw’ zegt, denkt al snel aan Rembrandt, Amalia van Solms, Huygens, Van Schurman, en Spinoza, aan de VOC en aan pompeuze grachtenpanden vol weelde en schatten. De Republiek der Verenigde Nederlanden was in de zeventiende eeuw dan ook een politieke grootmacht, met wereldwijde handelsbelangen en een toonaangevend cultureel leven. Deze Nederlandse 'gouden eeuw' is vaak geroemd vanwege zijn religieuze tolerantie, artistieke creativiteit en economische innovatie. Tegelijkertij...
