Mapping Landscapes in Transformation
multidisciplinary Methods for Historical Analysis
2019 || Paperback || Thomas Coomans e.a. || Leuven University Press
The development of historical geographical information systems (HGIS) and other methods from the digital humanities have revolutionised historical research on cultural landscapes. One of today’s major challenges, however, concerns the concepts and tools to be deployed for mapping processes of transformation—that is, interpreting and imagining the relational complexity of urban and rural landscapes, both in space and in time, at micro- and macro-scale. The opening up of increasingly divers...

A Gust of Photo-Philia
Photography in the Art Museum
2020 || Paperback || Alexandra Moschovi || Leuven University Press
Photography was long regarded as a “middlebrow” art by the art institution. Yet, at the turn of the millennium it became the hot, global art of our time. In this book—part institutional history, part account of shifting photographic theories and practices—Alexandra Moschovi tells the story of photography’s accommodation in and as contemporary art in the art museum. Archival research of key exhibitions and the contrasting collecting policies of MoMA, Tate, the Guggenheim, the V&A, an...

Insights from European, Latin American, and African Post-Conflict Societies
2020 || Paperback || Ulrike Capdepón e.a. || Leuven University Press

This book seeks to analyse the impact, advances, and difficulties of prosecuting perpetrators of mass atrocities at national and international levels. What ...

Photography and the Right to Be Reborn
2021 || Paperback || Hilde Van Gelder || Leuven University Press
Imagine a world in which each individual has a fundamental right to be reborn. This idle dream haunts Hilde Van Gelder’s associative travelogue that takes Allan Sekula’s sequence Deep Six / Passer au bleu (1996/1998) as a touchstone for a dialogue with more recent artworks zooming in on the borderscape near the Channel Tunnel, such as those by Sylvain George and Bruno Serralongue.
Combining ethnography, visual materials, political philosophy, cultural geography, and critical analysis, Gro...

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.

Incorporating the tools of network analysis, each chapter highlights an aspect of fictional social networks t...

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.

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...
