Mirrors of Entrapment and Emancipation

forugh Farrokhzad and Sylvia Plath

|| Paperback || Leila Rahimi Bahmany || Leiden University Press

Irreverent Persia

invective, satirical and burlesque poetry from the origins to the timurid period (10th to 15th century)

2015 || Paperback || Riccardo Zipoli || Leiden University Press

Poetry expressing criticism of social, political and cultural life is a vital integral part of Persian literary history. Its principal genres - invective, satire and burlesque - have been very popular with authors in every age. Despite the rich uninterrupted tradition, such texts have been little studied and rarely translated. Their irreverent tones range from subtle irony to crude direct insults, at times involving the use of outrageous and obscene terms. This anthology includes both major a...

an archaeological survey

2015 || Paperback || Michalis Karambinis || Leiden University Press

Historical research concerning the medieval era is sufficiently developed but archaeological research on the medieval Aegean has mainly focused on matters of art and architecture. In fact, we have an overall picture of the medieval and post-medieval periods for only a few islands of the Aegean. This ASLU v...

Terrorists on Trial

a performative perspective

2016 || Paperback || Beatrice de Graaf e.a. || Leiden University Press

Terrorism trials are an exceptional opportunity for better understanding and, hence, countering terrorism, since they are often the only place where most if not all of the actors of a terrorist incident meet again, and where the media report and broadcast their respective accounts. A nexus between terrorist violence, law enforcement and public opinion, terrorism trials showcase justice in progress and thus demonstrate to the world how terrorism suspects are treated under national law.

The Early and Middle Pleistocene Archaeological Record of Greece / druk 1

Current status and future prospects

2010 || Paperback || V. Tourloukis || Leiden University Press

By applying a fieldwork-based, geoarchaeological approach, Tourloukis examines in this study the evidence from Greece within the framework of the earliest occupation of Europe. Although the Greek Peninsula lies within a core area of early hominin movements between Africa and Europe but also within Eurasia itself, the Lower Palaeolithic record of Greece remains as yet extremely poor.

Choosing the scanty Greek record as a case-study, Tourloukis elaborates on a hitherto largely overlooked subjec...
