Mapping Landscapes in Transformation

multidisciplinary Methods for Historical Analysis

2019 || Paperback || Thomas Coomans e.a. || Leuven University Press

The development of historical geographical information systems (HGIS) and other methods from the digital humanities have revolutionised historical research on cultural landscapes. One of today’s major challenges, however, concerns the concepts and tools to be deployed for mapping processes of transformation—that is, interpreting and imagining the relational complexity of urban and rural landscapes, both in space and in time, at micro- and macro-scale. The opening up of increasingly divers...

Character Constellations

Representations of Social Groups in Present-Day Dutch Literary Fiction

2021 || Paperback || Roel Smeets || Leuven University Press

Fiction has a major social impact, not least because it co-shapes the image that society has of various social groups. Drawing on a collection of 170 contemporary Dutch-language novels, Character Constellations presents a range of data-driven, statistical models to study depictions of characters in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, class, age, sexuality, and other identity categories. Incorporating the tools of network analysis, each chapter highlights an aspect of fictional social networks t...

Brokers of Modernity

east Central Europe and the Rise of Modernist Architects, 1910-1950

2019 || Paperback || Martin Kohlrausch || Leuven University Press

The first half of the twentieth century witnessed the rise of modernist architects. Brokers of Modernity reveals how East Central Europe turned into one of the pre-eminent testing grounds of the new belief system of modernism. By combining the internationalism of the CIAM organization and the modernising aspirations of the new states built after 1918, the reach of modernist architects extended far beyond their established fields. Yet, these architects paid a price when Europe’s age of extre...

The Congo in Flemish Literature

An Anthology of Flemish Prose on the Congo, 1870s - 1990s

2020 || Paperback || Luc Renders e.a. || Leuven University Press

This book presents the first anthology of Flemish prose on the Congo, the former colony of Belgium, in English translation. Because of the Dutch language barrier, Flemish literature on the Congo has traditionally remained inaccessible to and thus neglected by international scholarship, as opposed to French or English prose on this part of the African continent. That this particular perspective has thus far remained underexposed, or even disregarded, is all the more regrettable in light of the...

Turkish German Muslims and Comedy Entertainment

Settling into Mainstream Culture in the 21st Century

2020 || Paperback || Benjamin Nickl || Leuven University Press

Comedy entertainment is a powerful arena for serious public engagement with questions of German national identity and Turkish German migration. The German majority society and its largest labour migrant community have been asking for decades what it means to be German and what it means for Turkish Germans, Muslims of the second and third generations, to call Germany their home. Benjamin Nickl examines through the social pragmatics of humour the dynamics that underpin these questions in the st...

Spatial Boundaries, Abounding Spaces

Colonial Borders in French and Francophone Literature and Film

2021 || Paperback || Mohit Chandna || Leuven University Press

Colonialism advanced its project of territorial expansion by changing the very meaning of borders and space. The colonial project scripted a unipolar spatial discourse that saw the colonies as an extension of European borders. In his monograph, Mohit Chandna engages with narrations of spatial conflicts in French and Francophone literature and film from the nineteenth to the early twenty-first century. In literary works by Jules Verne, Ananda Devi, and Patrick Chamoiseau, and film by Michael H...

Situatedness and Performativity

Translation & Interpreting Practice Revisited

2021 || Paperback || Raquel Pacheco Aguilar || Leuven University Press

Translating and interpreting are unpredictable social practices framed by historical, ethical, and political constraints. Using the concepts of situatedness and performativity as anchors, the authors examine translation practices from the perspectives of identity performance, cultural mediation, historical reframing, and professional training. As such, the chapters focus on enacted events and conditioned practices by exploring production processes and the social, historical, and cultural cond...

Teaching and researching in a digital world

2021 || Paperback || Wim van Petegem e.a. || Leuven University Press

What does it take to become a digitally agile scholar? This manual explains how academics can comfortably navigate the digital world of today and tomorrow. It foregrounds three key domains of digital agility: getting involved in research, education and (community) service, mobilising (digital) skills on various levels, and acting in multiple roles, both individually and interlinked with others.

After an introduction that outlines the foundations of the three-dimensional framework, the chapter...
