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...

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...

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...
