Listening to the other

2020 || Paperback || Stefan Östersjö || Leuven University Press

Our contemporary, globalised society demands new forms of listening. But what are these new forms? In Listening to the Other, Stefan Östersjö challenges conventional understandings of the ways musicians listen. He develops a transmodal understanding of listening that is situated in the body—a body that is extended by its mediation through musical instruments and other technologies. Listening habits can turn these tools—and even the body itself—into resistant objects or musical Others....

Postcolonialism and Migration in French Comics

2020 || Paperback || Mark McKinney || Leuven University Press

Heraldic Hierarchies

Identity, Status and State Intervention in Early Modern Heraldry

2021 || Paperback || Steven Thiry e.a. || Leuven University Press

Early modern heraldry was far from a nostalgic remnant from a feudal past. From the Reformation to the French Revolution, aspiring men seized on these signs to position themselves in a changing society, imbuing heraldic tradition with fresh meaning. Whereas post-medieval developments are all too often described in terms of decadence and stifling formality, recent studies rightly stress the dynamic capacity of bearing arms.

Heraldic Hierarchies aims to correct former misconceptions. Contributi...

American Protestant Missions in Western Europe, 1940-1975

Who Owns Africa?

Neocolonialism, Investment, and the New Scramble

2022 || Paperback || Bekeh Utietiang Ukelina || Leuven University Press

The independence of African countries from their European colonizers in the late 1950s and 1960s marked a shift in the continent's political leadership. Nevertheless, the economies of African nations remained tied to those of their former colonies, raising questions of resource control and the sovereignty of these nation-states.

Who Owns Africa? addresses the role of foreign actors in Africa and their competing interests in exploiting the resources of Africa and its people. An interdisciplina...

The contributing authors approach colonial legacies from an interdisciplinary perspective and examine how literature, politics, the arts, the press, cinema, museal practices, architecture, and language policies – but also justice and ethics – h...

Critical Perspectives on Post-war Modern Housing

2023 || Paperback || Andrea Migotto e.a. || Leuven University Press

In the light of the current housing and environmental crisis and increasing social inequalities, there is a growing sense of urgency for architecture as a discipline to engage with the transformation in housing evident in the postwar period. Rather than conceiving this task as a technical matter, this book proposes to reassess the conditions and legacy of this large and ubiquitous housing stock. By foregrounding the mismatch between constructed cultural, social and ideological narratives and ...

Collecting Asian Art

Cultural Politics and Transregional Networks in Twentieth-Century Central Europe

2024 || Paperback || Markéta Hánová e.a. || Leuven University Press
