Place: Towards a Geophilosophy of Photography
2021 || Paperback || Ali Shobeiri || Leiden University Press || met inkijkexemplaar
By examining photography through geography and philosophy, this book makes evident that place is not the content of a definite representation. To do this, it breaks down the participatory elements of photography into six tropes: the photographer, the camera, the photograph, the image, the spectator, and the genre. Afterwards, through a rigorous theoretical analysis of each of these themes vis-à-vis the notion of place, it shows how they manifest inactive, contingent, unlocalizable, liminal, ...

The Civil-Military Decision Paths to Uruzgan and Helmand
2021 || Paperback || Mirjam Grandia Mantas || Leiden University Press || met inkijkexemplaar

It does so by carefully reconstructing and comparing the sequential series of decisions of a group of British and Dutch senior civil and military decision-m...

The reception of Hafiz / druk 1
the sweet poetic language of Hafiz in nineteenth and twentieth century persia
|| Paperback || Bahman Solati || Leiden University Press
"For us non-Iranian readers of Hafiz's 14th-century ghazal poems, Iranian
attitudes toward the premier lyric poet in the 1,000-year history of Persian
literature, are almost as intriguing as Hafiz's poetry itself. First is the
inclination of Iranian readers to find deep, spiritual meaning in that poetry.
Second is their personal identification with what they perceive as Hafiz's
philosophy. Third is their linking of Iranian cultural identity with Hafiz's life and works to the point where some educa...

Hoe kun je op wetenschappelijke wijze iets zeggen over de stijl van een literaire tekst? Hoe beoordeel je de effecten van stijlmiddelen in toespraken of in ander zakelijk taalgebruik? Iedereen heeft een globaal idee wat ‘stijl’ betekent, en dat stijl een tekst kan maken of breken. In de tekst- en communicatiewetenschappen en in de klassieke disciplines van de neerlandistiek (letterkunde, taalkunde, taalbeheersing) speelt de vraag hoe formuleringskeuzes samenhangen met de inhoud en de effe...
