Wetenschappelijk onderzoek kent geen slotakkoord of apotheose.

Het zet zich voortdurend door. Op elk moment treden nieuwe academici in het spoor van hun leermeesters, maakt men gebruik van nieuwe methoden en ontwikkelt men nieuwe interesses. Niet alleen de aard van de navorsers en van hun methoden evolueren, ook hun onderzoeksobject verandert. Zeker in het veld van de politiek en de wereldeconomie maken we revolutionaire tijden door. De geo-politiek van de VS en Europa ten opzichte van groeilanden zoals China, India en Brazilië wijzigt drastisch en in de Arabische landen groeit het verlangen naar echte democratie.

Intussen neemt de druk op de draagkracht van onze blauwe planeet verder toe. In 2050 zijn we wellicht met 9 miljard mensen.

Zal er voldoende voedsel zijn? Welke energie zal aan onze toekomstige behoeften op een duurzame manier kunnen voldoen?

In welk soort voertuigen zullen we ons verplaatsen? In onze eigen gemeenschap doet de vergrijzing vragen stellen over de houdbaarheid van ons pensioenstelsel en over de kwaliteit van het leven van een steeds ouder wordende bevolking.

Wie een vinger aan de pols wil houden van de ontwikkeling van het wetenschappelijk onderzoek zal in deze publicatie opnieuw een staalkaart vinden van wat voor vandaag en voor morgen relevant is.

applications, possibilities, and limitations of handheld xrf in art conservation and archaeology

een origineel portret van het museumbezoek in het negentiende-eeuwse belgië

Over the last decade the technique of X-ray fluorescence has evolved, from dependence on laboratory-based standalone units to field use of portable and lightweight handheld devices. These portable instruments have given researchers in art conservation and archaeology the opportunity to study a broad range of materials with greater accessibility and flexibility than ever before.

In addition, the low relative cost of handheld xrf has led many museums, academic institutions, and cultural centres to invest in the devices for routine materials analysis purposes. Although these instruments often greatly simplify data collection, proper selection of analysis conditions and interpretation of the data still require an understanding of the principles of x-ray spectroscopy. These instruments are often marketed and used as ‘point and shoot’ solutions; however, their inexpert use can easily generate deceptive or erroneous results.

This volume focuses specifically on the applications, possibilities, and limitations of handheld xrf in art conservation and archaeology. The papers deal with experimental methodologies, protocols, and possibilities of handheld xrf analysis in dealing with the complexity of materials encountered in this research.

Museumbezoek in België 1830-1914

Aan het einde van de achttiende eeuw ontstonden op Belgisch grondgebied de eerste openbare musea. Begin van de negentiende eeuw openden ze hun deuren voor het publiek en kon het museumbezoek zich als nieuwe culturele activiteit ontplooien.

Steunend op uitvoerig archiefonderzoek en rijkelijk geïllustreerd met fraai beeldmateriaal biedt De intrede van het publiek een brede geschiedenis van het museumbezoek in België in de periode vanaf de onafhankelijkheid tot het begin van de Eerste Wereldoorlog.

Liesbet Nys schetst de snelle expansie van het museumwezen, analyseert de ideeën die leefden over het museumbezoek, beschrijft hoe het museumbezoek concreet verliep, tracht het toenmalige museumpubliek een gezicht te geven en staat ook stil bij hoe dat publiek zijn bezoek aan de Belgische musea heeft beleefd. Op die manier krijgt de lezer een origineel portret van het negentiende-eeuwse Belgische museumlandschap.

Making a New World

Woonvertogen in Vlaanderen tijdens de jaren zestig en zeventig

Architecture & Communities in Interwar Europe

Els De Vos

Rajesh Heynickx, Tom Avermaete (eds)

fascinerend overzicht van noden en wensen bij het bouwen, inrichten en bewonen

study of the foundations and working mechanisms of modern communities

De decennia 1960-70 vormen een scharniermoment in de geschiedenis van het wonen in Vlaanderen. De toename van de welvaart en de democratisering van het autobezit lagen aan de basis van een suburbanisatiegolf. Tegelijkertijd brachten deze evoluties nieuwe vraagstukken met zich mee. Een douche, auto of televisie kwamen binnen het handbereik van de brede middenklasse, maar hoe ging zij best om met die nieuwe technologieën en waar gaf men deze technologieën een plaats in het huis? Koos je voor traditioneel of modern?

In Hoe zouden we graag wonen? belicht Els De Vos de rol van socio-culturele middenveldorganisaties die hun leden begeleidden bij het bouwen, inrichten en bewonen van hun huis.

Enerzijds fungeerden ze als doorgeefluik tussen architecten, de overheid en bewoners, maar tevens drukten ze als zelfstandige partijen hun ideologische stempel op het wonen. Met de ontzuiling van de samenleving, de commercialisering van het wonen en de groeiende mondigheid van de burger kwam hun opvoedkundige taak echter algauw in het gedrang.

Op basis van rijk iconografisch, archivalisch en empirisch materiaal reconstrueert de auteur de geschiedenis van het wonen in Vlaanderen als een dynamisch proces tussen diverse actoren.

‘De onderzoeker [weet] de traditionele focus van het architectuurhistorische onderzoek te verbreden

In the changing world of interwar Europe a longing for stability rose to the surface of social life. Newly developed neighbourhoods and buildings were designed to create the healing community that many people were dreaming of. Various social groups with nationalist, ideological, or religious agendas made this concept of community a cornerstone in their framework and appropriated it to prescribe the relations between architecture and modernity. Making a New World analyses the various ways in which these relations were determined.

Most activists/entities encountered the potentialities of modernity, such as technology or mass media, in an accommodating way. In a broad spectrum of actions and proposals – from art exhibitions to séances, photo reports to roof tiles, landscapes to sanitation – these reformists were hoping to create a universe in which their communal dream could become a reality. The 17 contributions to this richly illustrated volume draw the contours of this new world by analysing its foundations and working mechanisms at its heart.

Situational Aesthetics. Selected Writings by Victor Burgin, Alexander Streitberger,

The notion of the minor, developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in Kafka, Towards a minor literature (1975), is introduced and connected applied here for the very first time to the field of photography theory.

Deleuze and Guattari defined minor literature in terms of deterritorialization, politicization and collectivization. By transferring ‘the minor’ to the medium of photography, this book enlarges the idea of ‘the minor’ and opens it up to all kinds of mutations in the process. The essays gathered in this book discuss the ways in which photography can make the dominant codes of representation stammer and how it can produce new affects and address people yet to come.

The authors consider ‘the minor’ as a valuable tool to help photography research move beyond, or in between, binary and hierarchized ways of thinking (of high and low art, for example, or centre and periphery). As such, it aims to contribute to a rethinking of photography as multiplicity and variation. Consequently, the term is connected with both marginal and canonical photographic practices, covering photographers as different as Miroslav Tichy, Paul McCarthy, Tacita Dean, Dan Graham, and Paul Nougé. After developing a theory of the minor, this book explores how the operations of the minor can be found in major art practices. It closes by tackling the question of photography as variation in case studies of belated forms of surrealist photography.

(Dis)embodying Myths in Ancien Régime Opera Multidisciplinary Perspectives Bruno Forment (ed.) the role of mythology in ancien régime opera Soprano Soetkin Elbers rehearsing Clytemnestra in Ifigenia (Brussels, December 2006). Photograph by Matthias Schellens.

Throughout the Ancien Régime, mythology played a vital role in opera, defining such epoch-making works as Claudio Monteverdi’s La favola d’Orfeo (1607) and Christoph Gluck’s Iphigénie en Tauride (1779). The operatic presence of the Greco-Roman gods and heroes was anything but unambiguous or unproblematic, however. (Dis)embodying Myths in Ancien Régime Opera highlights myth’s chameleonic life in the Italian dramma per musica and French tragédie en musique of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Written by eminent scholars in the fields of music, literature, theatre, and cultural studies, the six essays in this book address important questions. Through what ideological lenses did the Ancien Régime perceive an ancient legacy that was fundamentally pagan and fictitious, as opposed to Christian and rationalistic?

What dramaturgies did librettists and composers devise to adapt mythical topics to altering philosophical and esthetic doctrines?

Were the ancients’ precepts obeyed or precisely overridden by the age of ‘classicism’? And how could myths be made to fit changing modes of spectatorship?

Enlightening and wide-ranging on an essentially multidisciplinary development in European culture, (Dis)embodying Myths in Ancien Régime Opera will appeal to all music, literature, and art lovers seeking to deepen their knowledge of an increasingly popular repertoire. bruno forment is postdoctoral fellow (fwo) at Ghent University and Lecturer at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, where he specializes in operatic poetry, music, and stage design of the eighteenth century and Belle Époque.

The Normativity of What We Care About Katrien Schaubroeck a love-based reason theory as a new perspective in the debate on practical reasons

€ 39,50 / £35.00 isbn 978 90 5867 905 5 06/2012

Reasons and obligations pervade our lives. The alarm clock gives us a reason to get up in the morning, the expectations of colleagues or clients give us a reason to do our jobs well, the misery in developing countries gives us a reason to donate money, headaches give us a reason to take an aspirin.

Looking for unity in variety, philosophers wonder what makes a consideration count as a reason to do something. The nature and source of practical reasons has been debated intensively over the last three decennia in analytic philosophy. This book discusses the three most influential theories in current debates, referred to as the desire-based, the value-based, and the rationality-based theories of practical reasons. The author argues that all three are defective because they overlook the role of what agents care about. In the end it is our being concerned about other people, leading a meaningful life, and being healthy (among other things) that give us reasons to do certain things rather than others.

Drawing on insights from Harry Frankfurt, the author presents a love-based reason theory as a new and promising perspective in the debate on practical reasons.

a powerful and provocative contribution to the debate about the nature of historical writing

Frank Ankersmit is the author of many books and essays on the theory of history. In this original work, he provides, for the first time, a systematic account of his understanding of the nature of historical writing. This rehabilitation of historicism will surprise many, as will the way in which Ankersmit goes about it.

Ankersmit argues that the historicist account of historical writing (from Herder, via Ranke and Humboldt, to Dilthey) is correct but needs to be translated from its original romanticist vocabulary into a more modern philosophical idiom. This translation, he maintains, ‘reveals the basic truths about the nature of the past itself, how we relate to it, and how we make sense of the past in historical writing.’

‘In my view, Frank Ankersmit, is the most original and important philosopher of history writing today. There is no question but that he knows this field inside out – he seems to have read virtually everything relevant to it. Even more important he has an original and extremely stimulating perspective on the object of philosophy of history, namely, the human attempt to come to grips with the past. Meaning, Truth and Reference in Historical Representation significantly clarifies Ankersmit’s views and claims.’

A Clinical Anthropology of Hysteria in the Work of Freud and Lacan

Beyond the Feminization Thesis

Philippe Van Haute, Tomas Geyskens

Patrick Pasture & Jan Art (eds) case studies upon the use of concepts like feminization and masculinization in relation to christianity

€ 34,50 / £30.00 isbn 978 90 5867 911 6 04/2012 16 x 24 cm Paperback ca. 180 p. nur 777 Figures of the Unconscious 11

The different psychopathologic syndromes show in an exaggerated and caricatural manner the basic structures of human existence. These structures not only characterize psychopathology, but they also determine the highest forms of culture. This is the credo of Freud’s anthropology. This anthropology implies that humans are beings of the in-between. The human being is essentially tied up between pathology and culture, and there is no ‘normal position’ that can be defined in a theoretically convincing manner.

The authors of this book call this Freudian anthropology a patho-analysis of existence or a clinical anthropology. This anthropology gives a new meaning to the Nietzschean dictum that the human being is a ‘sick animal’. Freud, and later Lacan, first developed this anthropological insight in relation to hysteria (in its relation to literature).

This patho-analytic perspective progressively disappears in Freud’s texts after 1905. This book reveals the crucial moments of that development. In doing so, it becomes clear not only that Freud introduced the Oedipus complex much later than is usually assumed, but also that the theory of the Oedipus complex is irreconcilable with the project of a clinical anthropology.

The authors not only examine the philosophical meaning of this thesis in the work of Freud. They also examine its avatars in the texts of Jacques Lacan and show how this project of a patho-analysis of existence inevitably obliges us to formulate a non-oedipal psychoanalytic anthropology.

English

Since the 1970s the feminization thesis has become a powerful trope in the rewriting of the social history of Christendom.

However, this ‘thesis’ has triggered some vehement debates, given that men have continued to dominate the churches, and the churches themselves have reacted to the association of religion and femininity, often formulated by their critics, by explicitly focusing their appeal to men. In this book the authors critically reflect upon the use of concepts like feminization and masculinization in relation to Christianity. By presenting case studies that adopt different gendered approaches with regard to Christian, mainly Catholic discourses and practices, the authors capture multiple ‘feminizations’ and ‘masculinizations’ in Europe during the 19th and 20th centuries. In particular, it becomes clear that the idea that Christianity took on ‘charicteristically feminine’ values and practices cannot withstand the conclusion that what is considered ‘manly’ or ‘feminine’ depends on time, place, and context, and on the reasons why gendered metaphors are used. patrick pasture is associate professor in history at the University of Leuven, where he co-ordinates the research unit Modernity & Society 1800–2000 (MoSa). His research focuses on European labour history and the social history of Christianity in Europe and North America.

The Free Market in Development Aid Patrick Develtere In collaboration with Huib Huyse and Jan Van Ongevalle the balance sheet of 50 years of development aid Photo © Lisa Develtere

Over the past 50 years the West has invested over 3000 billion euro in development aid and already tackled many problems. Now more and more countries and organisations present themselves on the development aid scene, including China, India, and foundations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Companies, trade unions, co-operatives, schools and towns set up their own projects in remote African regions.

But can each and everybody become a development worker? Who decides what is acceptable and what is not? What is the role of the developing countries themselves? Who can tell what is good aid and what is bad aid? Is it a free market allowing everybody to do what he wants? A market without rules, with a lot of competition and little cooperation?

This book draws up the balance sheet of 50 years of development aid and provides an overview of all relevant players, of opportunities and obstacles, of successes and failures. It details numerous examples and information on development projects from all over the world. Readers may be tempted to get involved in development aid, but they will also be more cautious than before.

Expectations of Migration in Africa and the Middle East Knut Graw & Samuli Schielke (eds) imaginations, expectations, and motivations that propel the pursuit of migration

Photo: Posters on sale in Alexandria, Egypt. © Samuli Schielke

Although contemporary migration in and from Africa can be understood as a continuation of earlier forms of interregional and international migration, current processes of migration seem to have taken on a new quality.

This volume argues that one of the main reasons for this is the fact that local worlds are increasingly measured against a set of possibilities whose referents are global, not local. Due to this globalization of the personal and societal horizons of possibilities in Africa and elsewhere, in many contexts migration gains an almost inevitable attraction while, at the same time, actual migration becomes increasingly restricted.

Based on detailed ethnographic accounts, the contributors to this volume focus on the imaginations, expectations, and motivations that propel the pursuit of migration. Decentring the focus of much of migration studies on the ‘receiving societies’, the volume foregrounds the subjective aspect of migration and explores the impact which the imagination and practice of migration have on the sociocultural conditions of the various local settings concerned. knut graw is lecturer at the University of Leuven and associated researcher at Zentrum Moderner Orient, Berlin. His current research focuses on ritual praxis and migration in Senegal, Gambia, and Spain.

John Pagus on Aristotle’s Categories Heine Hansen (ed.) extensive study of one of the first extant thirteenthcentury commentaries on aristotle’s categories € 69,50 / £60.50 isbn 978 90 5867 913 0 05/2012 16 x 24 cm Hardback ca. 350 p. nur 732 Ancient and Medieval Philosophy – series 1 – 45 English

The Rationes super Praedicamenta Aristotelis of John Pagus is one of the earliest known literary products of the Arts Faculty of the University of Paris. Written in the 1230s, it is among the first extant commentaries on Aristotle’s Categories and reflects a period in which philosophers had already absorbed the full range of Aristotle's logical writings and were becoming increasingly familiar with his physical and metaphysical works.

The present volume contains the first full critical edition of the text, preceded by an extensive introductory study consisting of two parts.

The first part describes the life and work of John Pagus, the manuscript sources, formal features, authoritative sources, and date of his commentary, as well as its relationship to other known commentaries from the period. The second part is devoted to an analysis of some of the key features of Pagus’ interpretation of the categories. The author takes account of Pagus’ systematic construal of Aristotle’s text, focusing particular attention on his position on perennial issues such as what categories are, which categories there are, what sort of items they collect, whether or not they can overlap, and the relationship between logical and metaphysical categories. To more appreciate and understand Pagus’ approach, the volume also pays considerable attention to the views of his near-contemporaries Nicholas of Paris and Robert Kilwardby.

study of the literary technique, goals, and methods of plutarch’s life of nicias

Appointed against his will to spearhead the Athenians’ ill-fated invasion of Sicily in 415 bc, Nicias became entangled in a disaster that ultimately led his city to military defeat and humiliation.

Historians have deliberated ever since over the role that Nicias, and especially his character and behaviour, played in this catastrophe.

Five centuries later, Plutarch of Chaeronea, the author of moral essays and a series of twinned biographies known collectively as The Parallel Lives, entered this debate with his Life of Nicias.

Drawing not only from historical sources like Thucydides but also from the works of philosophers, lyric poets, tragedians, comic playwrights, and many others, some of which writings are now lost, Plutarch wove a rich tapestry from the data available to him about Nicias’ career and times and created a new vision of the doomed general’s life-story. Titchener’s commentary analyses Plutarch’s use of these sources in the Life of Nicias, along with his literary technique, goals, and methods, and in the process sheds new light on the author and subject alike. frances b. titchener is professor of history at Utah State University in Logan, Utah.

the first-ever bibliography of scottish latin in print

€59,50 / £52.00 isbn 978 90 5867 899 7 04/2012 16 x 24 cm Paperback ca. 400 p. nur 635 Supplementa Humanistica

The work of the Latin writers of Scotland has suffered a neglect which its variety, copiousness, and intrinsic interest do not deserve. Their importance, and the importance of Latin as a literary language, is beginning to be recognized by scholars.

Researchers from the universities of Glasgow and St. Andrews have now prepared the first-ever bibliography of Scottish Latin in print – unique both in its focus on the many works written in Latin and in the way in which Scottish writers are specifically targeted. Covering the years c. 1480-1700, this new reference tool carefully catalogues the work of some 500 writers, in both prose and verse. Thousands of works are named in a clear and original format, with their titles not so truncated as to be obscure (as sometimes happens in English ‘short-title’ catalogues). The editors take advantage of recent research, and many poetic works hitherto unknown or ignored are referenced.

This ground-breaking reference work will be essential not only for those who study the progress of humanism and the history and literature of early modern Scotland, but also for those engaged in various kinds of research into the events and ideas of continental Europe, with which Scotland was closely linked in many ways.
