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...
Eloquent Images
Evangelisation, Conversion and Propaganda in the Global World of the Early Modern Period
2022 || Paperback || Giuseppe Capriotti e.a. || Leuven University Press
Drawing on original research covering different periods and spaces, this book sets out to appreciate the specific place of images in the history of evangelisation in the long modern period. How can we reconceptualise the functions of the visual mediation of the gospel message, both in terms of the production and reception of this message and in terms of its effective mediators, artists, religious, and cultural ambassadors? The contributions in this book offer multiple geographical and histori...

Ambrogio Spinola between Genoa, Flanders, and Spain
2022 || Paperback || Silvia Mostaccio e.a. || Leuven University Press
Many of the most significant studies devoted to Ambrogio Spinola have focused on one particular aspect of his life: his successful military career. This volume, through its interdisciplinary and cultural approach, breaks open this all too narrow perspective and expands our understanding of Spinola and his world. As a great military strategist and Catholic knight, entrepreneur in the international finance market, courtier and diplomat, Spinola was certainly a Genoese, but he was also a member ...
Living Politics in the City
Architecture as Catalyst for Public Space
2022 || Paperback || Marion Hohlfeldt e.a. || Leuven University Press
In recent decades, architecture has been seen as a field of practice that contributes greatly to the performativity of public space. In spite of the explosion of virtual communities through social media and the limitations imposed by pandemics, architecture today still holds an active role in (literally) building our societies. Bearing in mind its acute politicisation in past years, Living Politics in the City looks at public space from the perspective of architecture and its effective contri...
Silver Empowerment
Fostering Strengths and Connections for an Age-Friendly Society
2023 || Paperback || Jasper De Witte e.a. || Leuven University Press
Silver empowerment is a valuable paradigm to improve care and support systems for older persons. It aims to counteract the dominant image of ageing, which is all too often one of decline, dependency and vulnerability, and rather sees ageing and the ageing population as a challenge that opens up new opportunities. By focusing on the strengths and connections of older persons, silver empowerment strives for an inclusive, age-friendly society that will allow everyone to grow old with dignity and...
Newcomers Navigating the Welfare State
Experiences of Immigrants and Street-Level Bureaucrats with Belgium’s Social Assistance System
2023 || Paperback || Hanne Vandermeerschen e.a. || Leuven University Press
The topic of social assistance for migrant newcomers often sparks heated public debate and remains a prominent concern on the policy agenda. Society – including the target groups of welfare institutions – has experienced a growing level of diversity. This reality gives rise to new demands and changing profiles of individuals who benefit from welfare services. Welfare institutions, which are responsible for providing social assistance, play a crucial role in granting access to social benef...
Urban Culture and the Modern City
Hungarian Case Studies
2024 || Paperback || Ágnes Györke e.a. || Leuven University Press
When consulting key works on urban studies, the absence of Central and Eastern European cities is striking. Cities such as Vienna, Budapest, Prague, and Trieste, where such notable figures as Freud, Ferenczi, Kafka, and Joyce lived and worked, are rarely studied in a translocal framework, as if Central and Eastern Europe were still a blind spot of European modernity. This volume expands the scope of literary urban studies by focusing on Budapest and Hungarian small towns, offering in-depth an...
The Legacy of Elise Hall
Contemporary Perspectives on Gender and the Saxophone
2024 || Paperback || Kurt Bertels e.a. || Leuven University Press
The saxophone is a globally popular instrument, often closely associated with renowned male players such as Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, or more recently, Kenny G. Less well known, however, is the historical presence of female saxophonists in the nineteenth century, shortly after the instrument’s invention. Elise Hall (1853–1924), a prominent wealthy socialite in Boston at the turn of the twentieth century, defied social norms by mastering the saxophone, an unconventional instrument for...
European Literatures of Military Occupation
Shared Experience, Shifting Boundaries, and Aesthetic Affections
2024 || Paperback || Matthias Buschmeier e.a. || Leuven University Press
What does it mean to live under occupation? How does it shape the culture and identities of European nations? How does it affect the way we write and read literature? These are fundamental questions that set the stage for an in-depth exploration. Focusing on the literary works of writers from various European countries that were occupied by Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union or the Allies during and after World War II, the contributions in this edited volume seek to unravel the complex interplay ...
