Propaganda, Photography, and the Apartheid Regime Between the Late 1940s and the Mid-1970s
2023 || Paperback || Katharina Jörder || Leuven University Press

At its core was the information service that strongly capitalised on photography to visually articulate the minority regime’s racist political messages, promote Afrikaner nationalism, and consolidate white rule.

Intersectional Perspectives on Class Identity and Precarity in Contemporary Culture
2024 || Paperback || Michiel Rys e.a. || Leuven University Press
Contemporary culture not merely reflects ongoing societal transformations, it shapes our understanding of rapidly evolving class realities.

Relying on examples from British, French, Spanish, German, American, Swedish and Taiwanese culture, the contributors to this book document a variety of aesthetic strategies in an interdisciplina...

A Radical Shift Towards a Global Paradigm
2021 || Paperback || Patrick Develtere e.a. || Leuven University Press
Over the past 60 years high-income countries have invested over 4000 billion euros in development aid. With varying degrees of success, these investments in low-income countries contributed to tackling structural problems such as access to water, health care, and education.

Epicureanism and Scientific Debates
Antiquity and Late Reception. Volume I
2023 || Hardcover || Francesca Masi e.a. || Leuven University Press
Epicureanism is not only a defence of pleasure: it is also a philosophy of science and knowledge.

It shows that the philosophy of Epicurus and his heirs, from antiquity to the classical age, founded a rigorous and coherent conception of knowledge. This first part of a two-volume set examines more spe...
