Silver Empowerment
Fostering Strengths and Connections for an Age-Friendly Society
2023 || Paperback || Jasper De Witte e.a. || Leuven University Press
Silver empowerment is a valuable paradigm to improve care and support systems for older persons. It aims to counteract the dominant image of ageing, which is all too often one of decline, dependency and vulnerability, and rather sees ageing and the ageing population as a challenge that opens up new opportunities. By focusing on the strengths and connections of older persons, silver empowerment strives for an inclusive, age-friendly society that will allow everyone to grow old with dignity and...

Experiences of Immigrants and Street-Level Bureaucrats with Belgium’s Social Assistance System
2023 || Paperback || Hanne Vandermeerschen e.a. || Leuven University Press
The topic of social assistance for migrant newcomers often sparks heated public debate and remains a prominent concern on the policy agenda.

Welfare institutions, which are responsible for providing social assistance, play a crucial role in granting access to social benef...

Urban Culture and the Modern City
Hungarian Case Studies
2024 || Paperback || Ágnes Györke e.a. || Leuven University Press
When consulting key works on urban studies, the absence of Central and Eastern European cities is striking. Cities such as Vienna, Budapest, Prague, and Trieste, where such notable figures as Freud, Ferenczi, Kafka, and Joyce lived and worked, are rarely studied in a translocal framework, as if Central and Eastern Europe were still a blind spot of European modernity. This volume expands the scope of literary urban studies by focusing on Budapest and Hungarian small towns, offering in-depth an...

The Legacy of Elise Hall
Contemporary Perspectives on Gender and the Saxophone
2024 || Paperback || Kurt Bertels e.a. || Leuven University Press
The saxophone is a globally popular instrument, often closely associated with renowned male players such as Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, or more recently, Kenny G. Less well known, however, is the historical presence of female saxophonists in the nineteenth century, shortly after the instrument’s invention. Elise Hall (1853–1924), a prominent wealthy socialite in Boston at the turn of the twentieth century, defied social norms by mastering the saxophone, an unconventional instrument for...

Brokers of Modernity
east Central Europe and the Rise of Modernist Architects, 1910-1950
2019 || Paperback || Martin Kohlrausch || Leuven University Press
The first half of the twentieth century witnessed the rise of modernist architects. Brokers of Modernity reveals how East Central Europe turned into one of the pre-eminent testing grounds of the new belief system of modernism. By combining the internationalism of the CIAM organization and the modernising aspirations of the new states built after 1918, the reach of modernist architects extended far beyond their established fields. Yet, these architects paid a price when Europe’s age of extre...

Futures of the Contemporary

2019 || Paperback || Paulo De Assis e.a. || Leuven University Press
Futures of the Contemporary explores different notions and manifestations of “the contemporary” in music, visual arts, art theory, and philosophy. In particular, the authors in this collection of essays scrutinise the role of artistic research in critical and creative expressions of contemporaneity.

The Portrait and the Colonial Imaginary
Photography between France and Africa, 1900-1939
2020 || Paperback || Simon Dell || Leuven University Press

Anyone interested in the history of colonial Africa will have encountered innumerable portraits of African elites produced during the first half of the twentieth century, yet no book to date has focused on these ubiquitous ima...

Migration at Work
Aspirations, Imaginaries & Structures of Mobility
2020 || Paperback || Fiona-Katharina Seiger e.a. || Leuven University Press
The willingness to migrate in search of employment is in itself insufficient to compel anyone to move. The dynamics of labour mobility are heavily influenced by the opportunities perceived and the imaginaries held by both employers and regulating authorities in relation to migrant labour. This volume offers a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the structures and imaginaries underlying various forms of mobility. Based on research conducted in different geographical contexts, including ...
