Ubiquity
Photography's Multitudes
2021 || Paperback || Jacob W. Lewis e.a. || Leuven University Press
From its invention to the internet age, photography has been considered universal, pervasive, and omnipresent. This anthology of essays posits how the question of when photography came to be everywhere shapes our understanding of all manner of photographic media. Whether looking at a portrait image on the polished silver surface of the daguerreotype, or a viral image on the reflective glass of the smartphone, the experience of looking at photographs and thinking with photography is inseparabl...

Urban Andes
Design-led explorations to tackle climate change
2022 || Paperback || Viviana D’Auria e.a. || Leuven University Press

Urban Andes marks the start of the new series LAP on innovative design research in architecture, urbanism, ...

The Business of Pleasure
A History of Paid Sex in the Heart of Europe
2024 || Paperback || Elwin Hofman e.a. || Leuven University Press
In 2022, the Belgian parliament made a landmark decision by approving the decriminalisation of sex work. This move positioned the small nation as the first country in Europe – and the second globally – to abandon the hypocrisy of tolerance. Yet this was not the first time paid sex in Belgium gained international notoriety. The bathhouses of the fifteenth-century ‘frows of Flanders’ were well-known throughout Europe. In the nineteenth century, Belgium faced international outrage as the...
Thoughts for the Times on Groups and Masses
A Sigmund Freud Museum Symposium
2025 || Paperback || Helmut Dahmer e.a. || Leuven University Press
“In groups the most contradictory ideas can exist side by side and tolerate each other, without any conflict arising from the logical contradiction between them”, wrote Freud in his 1921 book Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego. One hundred years later, in an age of war, social networks, and ubiquitous threats to democracy, the questions raised by Freud are as relevant as ever. In today’s mass and group formations, psychological processes and mechanisms can be recognized as the...

Studies in European Comics and Graphic Novels What Happens When Nothing Happens
boredom and everyday life in contemporary comics
2016 || Paperback || Greice Schneider || Leuven University Press
Boredom and melancholy in the experience of reading.
Contemporary graphic novels show an interesting shift from the extraordinary to the ordinary in slice-of-life stories in which nothing happens. Present-day graphic accounts are inhabited by melancholic characters whining about the lack of meaning in life. This book examines this intriguing transition and brings a historical, aesthetical and narratological approach to comics in which boredom is not only a topic, but also awakens a deliberate...

Lumumba’s Iconography in the Arts
|| Paperback || Matthias De Groof || Leuven University Press
It is no coincidence that a historical figure such as Patrice Emery Lumumba, independent Congo’s first prime minister, who was killed in 1961, has lived in the realm of the cultural imaginary and occupied an afterlife in the arts. After all, his project remained unfinished and his corpse unburied. The figure of Lumumba has been imagined through painting, photography, cinema, poetry, literature, theatre, music, sculpture, fashion, cartoons and stamps, and also through historiography and in p...

The Congo in Flemish Literature
An Anthology of Flemish Prose on the Congo, 1870s - 1990s
2020 || Paperback || Luc Renders e.a. || Leuven University Press
This book presents the first anthology of Flemish prose on the Congo, the former colony of Belgium, in English translation. Because of the Dutch language barrier, Flemish literature on the Congo has traditionally remained inaccessible to and thus neglected by international scholarship, as opposed to French or English prose on this part of the African continent. That this particular perspective has thus far remained underexposed, or even disregarded, is all the more regrettable in light of the...

Migrating Artists and New Metropolitan Topographies in the 20th Century
2020 || Paperback || Burcu Dogramaci e.a. || Leuven University Press
Exile and migration played a critical role in the diffusion and development of modernism around the globe, yet have long remained largely understudied phenomena within art historiography. Focusing on the intersections of exile, artistic practice and urban space, this volume brings together contributions by international researchers committed to revising the historiography of modern art. It pays particular attention to metropolitan areas that were settled by migrant artists in the first half o...
