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...

Dynamics of Religious Reform Charity and social welfare
2016 || Hardcover || Leen van Molle || Leuven University Press
How churches in Northern Europe reinvented their role as providers of social relief.
Charity is a word that fits well in the history of religion and churches, whereas the concept of social reform seems to belong more to the vocabulary of the modern welfare states. Christian charity found itself, during the long nineteenth century, within the maelstrom of social turmoil. In this context of social unrest, although charity managed to confirm its relevance, it was also subjected to fierce critici...

The Astrological Autobiography of a Medieval Philosopher
Henry Bate's Nativitas (1280-81)
2018 || Hardcover || Steven Vanden Broecke e.a. || Leuven University Press
The present book reveals the riches of the earliest known astrological autobiography, authored by Henry Bate of Mechelen (1246–after 1310). Exploiting all resources of contemporary astrological science, Bate conducts in his 'Nativitas' a profound self-analysis, revealing the peculiarities of his character and personality at a crucial moment of his life (1280). The result is an extraordinarily detailed and penetrating attempt to decode the fate of one’s own life and its idiosyncrasies. 'Th...

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...

Rester Catholique en France
l’encadrement religieux destiné aux migrants belgo-flamands du Lillois, de Paris et des campagnes françaises 1850-1960
2019 || Paperback || Henk Byls || Leuven University Press
« Splendide famille. Le père, un gars flamand, simple, robuste – la mère profondément religieuse. Les enfants tous débordants de vie. Ils ont un tel courage, pour braver les Français avec leur conviction religieuse. »
Ainsi parlait le père jésuite Frans Van den Brande, l’un des aumôniers des paysans flamands du Nord de la France dans l’entre-deux-guerres. Son activité avait un objectif simple: s’assurer que les émigrés belges restassent catholiques et flamands. L’initi...

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...
