The Lives of Cold War Afro-Asianism

2022 || Hardcover || Carolien Stolte e.a. || Leiden University Press

The Afro-Asianism of the early Cold War has long remained buried under the narrative of Bandung, homogenising and subverting the different visions of post-colonial worldmaking that co-existed alongside the Bandung project. This book turns the lens on these other visions, and the transnational interactions which emerged from various other gatherings of the 1950s and 1960s that existed beyond the realm of high diplomacy, while blurring the lines between state and non-state projects. It examines...

|| Paperback || Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak || Leiden University Press

Designating Place

Archaeological Perspectives on Built Environments in Ostia and Pompeii

2020 || Paperback || Hans Kamermans e.a. || Leiden University Press

Place: Towards a Geophilosophy of Photography

2021 || Paperback || Ali Shobeiri || Leiden University Press || met inkijkexemplaar

By examining photography through geography and philosophy, this book makes evident that place is not the content of a definite representation. To do this, it breaks down the participatory elements of photography into six tropes: the photographer, the camera, the photograph, the image, the spectator, and the genre. Afterwards, through a rigorous theoretical analysis of each of these themes vis-à-vis the notion of place, it shows how they manifest inactive, contingent, unlocalizable, liminal, ...

Inescapable Entrapments?

The Civil-Military Decision Paths to Uruzgan and Helmand

2021 || Paperback || Mirjam Grandia Mantas || Leiden University Press || met inkijkexemplaar

Military involvement in foreign policy decision-making, and its role as a driving force in that process, has long been anathema to both academic and practitioner circles. Without wanting to pursue the quest for principles or ultimate predictions this study looks specifically into the role of the military in foreign policy decision-making. It does so by carefully reconstructing and comparing the sequential series of decisions of a group of British and Dutch senior civil and military decision-m...

Babad Tanah Jawi, The Chronicle of Java

The Revised Proze Version of C.F. Winter Sr

2022 || Hardcover || Willem Remmelink || Leiden University Press || met inkijkexemplaar

The revised prose version of the Babad Tanah Jawi was originally prepared by C.F. Winter Sr. (1799-1859), with the twofold aim of providing Javanese-language teaching material and of setting a standard for formal Javanese prose writing. At that time, Javanese was almost exclusively written in verse, which was not a medium suitable for the modern world that was dawning on Java. Although Winter achieved his aims in other ways and publications, the present text was mostly forgotten, or was just ...
