States of Emergency
Architecture, Urbanism, and the First World War
2022 || Paperback || Erin Eckhold Sassin e.a. || Leuven University Press
More than one hundred years after the conclusion of the First World War, the edited collection States of Emergency: Architecture, Urbanism, and the First World War reassesses what that cataclysmic global conflict meant for architecture and urbanism from a human, social, economic, and cultural perspective. Chapters probe how underdevelopment and economic collapse manifested spatially, how military technologies were repurposed by civilians, and how cultures of education, care, and memory emerge...
When Art isn’t Real
The World's Most Controversial Objects under Investigation
2022 || Paperback || Andrew Shortland e.a. || Leuven University Press
The art world is a multi-billion-dollar industry which captures world headlines on a regular basis, for both good and bad reasons. This book deals with one of the most-discussed areas of controversy: high-profile objects that have experts arguing about their veracity. Some may have been looted, others may be fakes, some may be heavily restored or misattributed. Often, in these cases, analytical science is called on to settle a dispute. The authors of this book have decades of experience in th...
Plutarch’s Cosmological Ethics
2022 || Hardcover || Bram Demulder || Leuven University Press
Plutarch of Chaeronea (c. 45-120 CE) is the most prolific and influential moral philosopher in the Platonic tradition. This book is a fundamental reappraisal of Plutarch’s ethical thought. It shows how Plutarch based his ethics on his particular interpretation of Plato’s cosmology: our quest for the good life should start by considering the good cosmos in which we live. The practical consequences of this cosmological foundation permeate various domains of Greco-Roman life: the musician, t...
Ferenczi Dialogues
On Trauma and Catastrophe
2023 || Paperback || Raluca Soreanu e.a. || Leuven University Press
Ferenczi Dialogues presents the contribution of Sándor Ferenczi to a psychoanalytic theory of trauma and discusses the philosophical, political and clinical implications of Ferenczi’s thinking. To a far greater extent than Freud, Sándor Ferenczi centered his psychoanalytic thought around trauma.
Ferenczi's work pluralizes the notion of catastrophe, as being both destructive and a turning point. This book addresses Ferenczi’s work in terms of thinking in times of crises, by considering c...
Documenting Ancient Sagalassos
A Guide to Archaeological Methods and Concepts
2023 || Paperback || Jeroen Poblome || Leuven University Press
Research Project Sagalassos speaks to the imagination in more ways than one. The authentic and natural beauty of the site no doubt plays a role in that. The Sagalassos Project testifies to the fact that its core business, archaeology, also appeals to the imagination. Learning about the past is fascinating, for young and old alike. Curiosity unquestionably plays a role in this. Archaeologists, as any other scientist, are driven to really know about past human activities. As they leave no stone...
Francis Alÿs. The Nature of the Game
2023 || Paperback || Gerard-Jan Claes e.a. || Leuven University Press
In 1999, a short video of a solitary boy kicking an empty bottle up a hill in Mexico City became the first instalment of Children’s Games, a series of works by artist Francis Alÿs (b. Antwerp, 1959). The ongoing project, which now numbers around thirty-five works, has gradually given shape to an extensive collection of videos of children at play. For almost twenty years, Alÿs and his collaborators Félix Blume, Julien Devaux, and Rafael Ortega have been travelling around the world to docu...
Dirk Lauwaert. Selected Writings, 1983-2004
2023 || Paperback || Dirk Lauwaert || Leuven University Press
Radically subjective. Radically unapologetic. Radically demanding. These are the hallmarks of Dirk Lauwaert’s skill, attitude, and sensitivity, which are the result of radical attention.
Belgian writer and critic Dirk Lauwaert (1944–2013) wrote about images, be they moving or still, historical or contemporary, overfamiliar or unseen. He experienced them intensely, studied them attentively, and connected them to ethical, philosophical, or social issues in texts that invited readers to do t...
Beyond the Translator’s Invisibility
Critical Reflections and New Perspectives
2024 || Paperback || Peter J. Freeth e.a. || Leuven University Press
Whether we allow audiences to know that a text is a translation or to see the person responsible for translating it are questions that have dominated discussions about translation throughout history. Despite becoming one of the most ubiquitous terms in translation studies, however, the concept of translator invisibility is often criticized for being vague, overly adaptable, and grounded in literary contexts. This interdisciplinary volume therefore draws on concepts from fields such as sociolo...
Epicureanism and Scientific Debates. Epicurean Tradition and its Ancient Reception
Volume II. Epistemology and Ethics
2024 || Hardcover || Attila Németh e.a. || Leuven University Press
Epicurean philosophy is a philosophy of knowledge, nature and pleasure. The second part of a two-volume set, this edited collection examines the core areas of Epicureanism : physiology, epistemology and ethics. The study is carried out from multiple perspectives: the reconstruction and analysis of primary sources, an examination of the debates and controversies surrounding the school of Epicurus, and a review of the reception of Epicurean philosophy. By challenging the widespread stereotype o...
Dance as Intermedial Translation
Moving Across Page, Stage, Canvas
2024 || Paperback || Vanessa Montesi || Leuven University Press
This book is situated in the breach opened up by recent debates on inherited notions of text, language, and translation that followed the emergence of new technologies. It examines two works of contemporary dance, Marie Chouinard’s Jérôme Bosch: Le Jardin des Délices (2016) and Mathieu Geffré’s Froth on the Daydream (2018), as examples of intermedial translation. Conceptualising translation through the lens of theatrical dance allows us to see the translation process as a creative, co...
