Between Conventional and Experimental
Mass Housing and Prefabrication in Modernist Architecture
2024 || Paperback || Regine Hess e.a. || Leuven University Press
Mass housing and prefabrication shaped global modernist architecture like no other aspect of industrialised construction. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of how both conventional and experimental prototypes and series gave rise to an architecture for all, often responding to crises, the imperatives of nation-building, and housing shortages by rapidly developing, distributing, and assembling structures.
The book’s contributions, with a geographical emphasis on Europe and Israel,...
Architectures of Resistance
Negotiating Borders Through Spatial Practices
2024 || Paperback || Angeliki Sioli e.a. || Leuven University Press
Borders between countries, neighbourhoods, people, beliefs, and policies are proliferating and expanding despite what self-proclaimed progressive societies wish or choose to believe. For a wide variety of reasons, the early 21st century is caught struggling between breaking down barriers and raising them. Architecture is complicit in both. It is central to the perpetuation of borders, and key to their dismantling. Architectures of Resistance: Negotiating Borders Through Spatial Practices appr...

The book combines legal and regulatory information with practical advice on implementation, including guidance on how to set priorities. As a company transitions from a startup to a sc...
KADOC-Studies on Religion, Culture and Society Life Inside the Cloister
Understanding Monastic Architecture
2018 || Paperback || Thomas Coomans || Leuven University Press
Sacred architecture as reality and metaphor in secularised Western society.
Christian monasteries and convents, built throughout Europe for the best part of 1,500 years, are now at a crossroads. This study attempts to understand the sacred architecture of monasteries as a process of the tangible and symbolic organisation of space and time for religious communities. Despite the weight of seemingly immutable monastic tradition, architecture has contributed to developing specific religious ident...
Mongameli Mabona
His Life and Work
2021 || Paperback || Ernst Wolff || Leuven University Press
Mongameli Anthony Mabona (1929) is a singular South African scholar with an exceptional life path. The history of British imperialism and apartheid shaped the world into which he was born. To a large extent, these powers had his destiny carved out for him. Nevertheless, a curious set of coincidences enabled him to obtain a tertiary education as a priest, to pursue his doctoral studies in Italy and to befriend Alioune Diop. He is one of the first published philosophers of Anglophone Africa and...
Transfer Thinking in Translation Studies
Playing with the Black Box of Cultural Transfer
2020 || Paperback || Maud Gonne e.a. || Leuven University Press
The concept of transfer covers the most diverse phenomena of circulation, transformation and reinterpretation of cultural goods across space and time, and are among the driving forces in opening up the field of translation studies. Transfer processes cross linguistic and cultural boundaries and cannot be reduced to simple movements from a source to a target (culture or text). In a time of paradigm shifts, this book aims to explore the potential and interdisciplinary power of transfer as a con...
Graphic Embodiments
Perspectives on Health and Embodiment in Graphic Narratives
2021 || Paperback || Lisa DeTora e.a. || Leuven University Press
Comics and other graphic narratives powerfully represent embodied experiences that are difficult to express in language. A group of authors from various countries and disciplines explore the unique capacity of graphic narratives to represent human embodiment as well as the relation of human bodies to the worlds they inhabit. Using works from illustrated scientific texts to contemporary comics across national traditions, we discover how the graphic narrative can shed new light on everyday expe...
Photography’s Materialities
Transatlantic Photographic Practices over the Long Nineteenth Century
2021 || Paperback || Geoff Bender e.a. || Leuven University Press
There is little dispute that photography is a material practice, and that the photograph itself is ineluctably material. And yet “matter,” “material,” and “materiality” have proven to be remarkably elusive terms of inquiry, frequently producing studies that are disparate in scope, sharing seemingly little common ground. Although the wide methodological range of materialist study can be dizzying, it is this book’s contention that that multiplicity is also the field’s greatest a...
A Cultural Symbiosis
Patrician Art Patronage and Medicean Cultural Politics in Florence (1530-1610)
2022 || Paperback || Klazina Botke e.a. || Leuven University Press
Contrary to general belief, the history of the Florentine patriciate did not end with the establishment of the State of Tuscany under de’ Medici in 1532. Proud and self-confident patricians did not become subservient courtiers overnight, but remained significantly influential for a long period. They retained their urban identity and longstanding family traditions, while acquiring noble titles, estates, and villas at the same time. The mark that these patricians continued to leave on the cit...
