Singing Bronze A History of Carillon Music Luc Rombouts

The fascinating history of bell music The carillon, the world’s largest musical instrument, originated in the 16th century when inhabitants of the Low Countries started to produce music on bells in church and city towers. Today, carillon music still fills the soundscape of cities in Belgium and the Netherlands. Since the First World War, carillon music has become popular in the United States, where it adds a spiritual dimension to public parks and university campuses.

Singing Bronze opens up the fascinating world of the carillon to the reader.

It tells the great stories of European and American carillon history: the quest for the perfect musical bell, the fate of carillons in times of revolt and war, the role of patrons such as John D. Rockefeller Jr. and Herbert Hoover in the development of American carillon culture, and the battle between singing bronze and carillon electronics.

Richly illustrated with original photographs and etchings, Singing Bronze tells how people developed, played, and enjoyed bell music. With this book, a fascinating history that is yet little known is made available for a wide public.

luc rombouts is carillonneur of the city of Tienen and of KU Leuven. His original Dutch publication on carillon history entitled Zingend brons received several awards in Belgium and the Netherlands.

Onhoudbaar verleden Geschiedenis als politiek instrument tijdens de Franse periode in België Brecht Deseure

brecht deseure is doctor in de geschiedenis. Hij werkte als onderzoeker en docent aan de universiteiten van Antwerpen, Leuven en Leiden. Dit boek is gebaseerd op zijn proefschrift dat werd bekroond met de Prijs voor Geschiedenis en Volkskunde 2013 van de Provincie Antwerpen.

Het omstreden politiek potentieel van het verleden De weergave van het verleden is nooit neutraal. Zeker tijdens periodes van ingrijpende maatschappelijke veranderingen krijgt het verleden een omstreden politiek potentieel. Nooit was dit meer het geval in België dan rond 1800, tijdens de turbulente overgangsjaren van het ancien régime naar de moderne tijd. In maatschappelijke debatten en politieke conflicten kwamen uiteenlopende visies op de geschiedenis lijnrecht tegenover elkaar te staan.

Dit boek onderzoekt de manier waarop de bezettende Franse overheid zich van het verleden bediende in haar communicatie met de Belgische bevolking. Van de revolutionaire beginperiode tot het meer traditionalistische bewind van Napoleon: telkens gebruikten overheidsfunctionarissen het verleden om een politieke boodschap te verspreiden. Onhoudbaar verleden toont aan dat de manier waarop ze dat deden vaak verrassend pragmatisch was. De politieke realiteit tijdens deze belangrijke maar weinig bestudeerde periode uit de Belgische geschiedenis komt daarmee in een heel nieuw licht te staan.

De papen van Brugge De seculiere clerus in een middeleeuwse wereldstad Hendrik Callewier

Het karikaturale beeld van de losbandige middeleeuwse geestelijken herbekeken Het 15de-eeuwse Brugge was een middeleeuwse grootstad. In deze metro­ pool floreerden luxenijverheden, internationale handel en maakte het Bourgondische hof grote sier. Brugge telde in deze periode enkele honderden geestelijken: kanunniken en pastoors, maar ook kapelanen en talrijke zangers. Onder hen vinden we enkele van de meest vooraanstaande componisten, zangers, ambte­naren en professoren van de lage landen terug, o.a. Gilles Binchois, Gilles Joye, Guillaume Dufay en Antoine Haneron. De Brugse kanunnik Joris Vander Paelen werd door Jan Van Eyck als een devoot man afgebeeld, maar sommige kronieken schetsen een ander beeld van de laatmiddeleeuwse clerus: ‘Zijn het dan allemaal hebzuchtige en eerzuchtige dieven, hoogmoedige en wellustige hoerenlopers en maagdenonteerders?’

In De papen van Brugge wordt de levenswandel van niet minder dan 1298 seculiere geestelijken onderzocht. Het karikaturale beeld van de hypocriete, geile, ijdele of vraatzuchtige pastoor wordt door Hendrik Callewier aan de hand van rijke archiefbronnen herbekeken en bijgesteld.

hendrik callewier is doctor in de geschiedenis, gastdocent aan de KU Leuven en diensthoofd van het Rijksarchief Kortrijk.

Mag het iets meer zijn?

Kleine kruidenierswinkels worden big business, Delhaize Frères & Cie (1867–1940)

“ MAG HET IETS MEER NELLEKE TEUGHELS

ZIJN?”

KLEINE KRUIDENIERSWINKELS WORDEN BIG BUSINESS, DELHAIZE FRÈRES & CIE (1867-1940)

Nelleke Teughels

Van de kleine kruidenier om de hoek tot vernieuwende winkelketen Tegelijk met de opkomst van het grootwarenhuis deed omstreeks 1870 nog een innovatief winkelconcept zijn intrede: de winkelketen in voedingswaren. Met de oprichting van Delhaize Frères & Cie in 1867 onderging het alledaagse boodschappen doen een ware revolutie. De onderneming vervulde een pioniersrol in België en Europa maar voor de kleine onafhankelijke kruideniers betekende hun komst grote concurrentie.

In Mag het iets meer zijn? brengt Nelleke Teughels op basis van origineel bronnenmateriaal en oorspronkelijke iconografie, waaronder fraaie foto’s en prenten maar ook verpakkingen en voorwerpen, op levendige wijze aanschouwelijk hoe de introductie van de winkelketen in voedingswaren de ervaring van het winkelend publiek in sociale, culturele en materiële zin veranderde. De auteur plaatst dit Belgische verhaal in het licht van de internationale ontwikkelingen in de kleinhandel. Reclamepraktijken, de organisatie van de Delhaizewinkels, de ideologie van het bedrijf en de materiële inrichting van winkels en etalages grepen naadloos in elkaar en hadden een onmiskenbare weerslag op de dagelijkse routine van de consument en zijn deelname aan de zich snel ontwikkelende consumptiemaatschappij.

nelleke teughels is als postdoctoraal onderzoeker bij het Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek – Vlaanderen verbonden aan de onderzoeksgroep fost (Sociale & Culturele Voedingsstudies, Vrije Universiteit Brussel).

Spanish Avisos de Flandes 14

Portrait of the Exceptional Burgundian household of the Spanish Habsburg kings Courts and royal households played a crucial role in the development of the political organization of early modern monarchies. The Duchy of Burgundy was the first to establish a highly sophisticated household that approximated perfection at the organizational level, and for this reason was recognised by contemporary monarchies. Philip I introduced this so called ‘Burgundian house­hold’ at the court of Castile. Soon it managed to reinforce its preeminence over other less developed households of the Spanish monarchy, such as those of Aragon and Castile, and it became the sole household of the Universal Monarchy.

This book presents a wide-ranging and in depth portrait of the exceptional Burgundian household of the Spanish Habsburg kings, and reinterprets its role at the heart of the Spanish monarchy. This reference work, by the hands of several experts in the field, is a must have for every researcher interested in early modern political and institutional history.

All texts are in Spanish.

Habsburg networking in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries This volume focuses on the various Habsburg courts and households among the two branches of the dynasty that arose following the division of the territories originally held by Charles V. The authors trace the connections between these courtly communities regardless of their standing or composition, exposing the underlying network they formed.

By cutting across the traditional division in the historiography between the Spanish and Austrian Habsburgs and also examining the roles played by the courts and households of lesser known members of the dynasty, this volume determines to what degree the organization followed a particular model and to what extent individuals were able to move between courts in pursuit of career opportunities and advancement.

From Eckhart to Ruusbroec A Critical Inheritance of Mystical Themes in the Fourteenth Century Satoshi Kikuchi

satoshi kikuchi is a free research associate of the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies at the KU Leuven.

The mystical relationship between Meister Eckhart and Jan van Ruusbroec In this thorough textual, historical, and doctrinal study the author seeks to clarify the relationship between two prominent mystics of the fourteenth century: Meister Eckhart, the German Dominican, and Jan van Ruusbroec, the Brabantine Augustinian. Special attention is paid to Ruusbroec’s criticism of mystical tenets circulating in Brabant at that time which were both textually and doctrinally related to Eckhart’s condemned propositions in the papal bull In agro dominico. This fact implies that Ruusbroec was confronted with the impact of the condemnation of Eckhart’s doctrines on the people in Brabant. Situating Ruusbroec’s life and works within the aftermath of Eckhart’s arrival, the author elucidates Ruusbroec’s position regarding the relevant mystical themes in the later Middle Ages, and follows a process of critical inheritance of mystical tradition from Eckhart to Ruusbroec.

Translating at the Court Bartholomew of Messina and the Cultural Life at the Court of Manfred of Sicily Pieter De Leemans (ed.)

The importance of Bartholomew’s oeuvre and cultural life under the reign of Manfred An important chapter in the rediscovery of Aristotle in the Middle Ages is the oeuvre of Bartholomew of Messina (Bartholomaeus de Messana), a translator at the court of Manfred, King of Sicily (1258–1266). However, the impact of both Bartholomew and Manfred on the cultural and intellectual life of their time remains understudied, especially in comparison to the attention received by the translator’s contemporary, William of Moerbeke, and by the King’s father, Frederick II of Hohenstaufen. This volume contributes to the exploration of this field of research in a twofold way. It discusses the nature and importance of Bartholomew’s oeuvre (and especially his translations of Aristotle). Moreover, by situating Bartho­ lomew’s activity in a broader context Translating at the Court pays special attention to cultural life under the reign of Manfred.

pieter de leemans is Professor of Medieval Philosophy at the KU Leuven and Academic Secretary of the Aristoteles Latinus.

Multiculturalism in present-day Europe How to understand Europe’s post-migrant Islam on the one hand and indigenous, anti-Islamic movements on the other? What impact will religion have on the European secular world and its regulation? How do social and economic transitions on a transnational scale challenge ethnic and religious identifications?

These questions are at the very heart of the debate on multiculturalism in present-day Europe and are addressed by the authors in this book. Through the lens of post-migrant societies, manifestations of identity appear in pluralized, fragmented, and deterritorialized forms. This new European multiculturalism calls into question the nature of boundaries between various ethnic-religious groups, as well as the demarcation lines within ethnic-religious communities. Although the contributions in this volume focus on Islam, ample attention is also paid to Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism.

The authors present empirical data from cases in Turkey, Germany, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Poland, Norway, Sweden, and Belgium, and sharpen the perspectives on the religious-ethnic manifestations of identity in the transnational context of 21st-century Europe.

Modern Islamic Thinking and Activism Dynamics in the West and in the Middle East ˘ ¸ Johan Leman (eds) Erkan Toguslu,

Innovative research of ‘Islam at work’ in geographical and social contexts Modern Islamic Thinking and Activism presents a series of scholarly papers in relation to Islamic thinking, activism, and politics in both the West and the Middle East.

The reader will apprehend that Islam is not the monolithic religion so often depicted in the media or (earlier) in the academic world. The Islamic world is more than a uniform civilization with a set of petrified religious prescriptions and an outdated view on political and social organization. The contributions show the dynamics of ‘Islam at work’ in different geographical and social contexts. By treating the working of Islamic thinking and of Islamic activism on a practical level, Modern Islamic Thinking and Activism includes innovative research and fills a signi­ ficant gap in existing work.

The French Comics Theory Reader Ann Miller and Bart Beaty (eds)

Key theoretical texts on French-language comics translated in English for the first time The French Comics Theory Reader presents a collection of key theoretical texts on comics, spanning a period from the 1960s to the 2010s, written in French and never before translated into English. The publication brings a distinctive set of authors together uniting theoretical scholars, artists, journalists, and comics critics. Readers will gain access to important debates that have taken place among major French-language comics scholars, including Thierry Groensteen, Benoît Peeters, Jan Baetens, and Pierre Fresnault-Deruelle, over the past fifty years.

The collection covers a broad range of approaches to the medium, including historical, formal, sociological, philosophical, and psychoanalytic. A general introduction provides an overall context, and, in addition, each of the five thematic sections is prefaced by a brief summary of each text and an explanation of how they have influenced later work.

The translations are faithful to the originals while reading clearly in English, and, where necessary, cultural references are clarified.

ann miller was formerly Senior Lecturer and Director of Studies for French at the University of Leicester. She is now a University Fellow. bart beaty is Professor of English and Department Head at the University of Calgary.

On The Very Edge Modernism and Modernity in the Arts and Architecture of Interwar Serbia (1918–1941) ´ Lilien Filipovitch Robinson, Jelena Bogdanovic, and Igor Marjanovic´ (eds)

jelena bogdanovic´ is an Assistant Professor of Architectural History at Iowa State University. lilien filipovitch robinson is Professor of Art History at the George Washington University. igor marjanovic´ is an Associate Professor of Architecture at Washington University in St. Louis.

Revealing a vibrant and intertwined artistic scene in the Balkans On The Very Edge brings together fourteen empirical and comparative essays about the production, perception, and reception of modernity and modernism in the visual arts, architecture, and literature of interwar Serbia (1918–1941). The contributions highlight some idiosyncratic features of modernist processes in this complex period in Serbian arts and society, which emerged ‘on the very edge’ between territorial and cultural, new and old, modern and traditional identities.

With an open methodological framework this book reveals a vibrant and intertwined artistic scene, which, albeit prematurely, announced interests in pluralism and globalism. On The Very Edge addresses issues of artistic identities and cultural geographies and aims to enrich contextualized studies of modernism and its variants in the Balkans and Europe, while simultaneously re-mapping and adjusting the prevailing historical canon.

Jan Dibbets, The Photographic Work Erik Verhagen

The first monograph covering Dibbets’s iconic photographic oeuvre Dutchman Jan Dibbets (b. 1941) is one of the principal artists to have introduced photography into the plastic arts, and this as early as the 1960s. At a time when photography has massively invaded contemporary art institutions – not without generating confusion and excess – it is not easy to evaluate the full radicality of Dibbets’s approach. This radicalism has nothing to do with modernist overkill. Dibbets did not merely go further than others; rather, he simply went elsewhere. Beginning in 1967, he embarked on a long-range project which, as we advance into the 21st century, he seems not to have abandoned: the ‘pictorializing’ of photography.

Jan Dibbets is one of the few artists of his generation and reputation not to have seen his oeuvre accorded full monographic coverage. This exhaustive study seeks to fill this gap by covering almost fifty years of his photographic oeuvre.

erik verhagen is Assistant Professor in Contemporary Art at the University of Valenciennes, in France.

Mass Theatre in Inter-War Europe Flanders and the Netherlands in an International Perspective Thomas Crombez and Luk Van den Dries (eds)

thomas crombez is affiliated Researcher at the University of Antwerp and teaches Philosophy of Art and Theatre History at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and Philosophy at Sint Lucas Antwerpen. luk van den dries is Professor of Theatre Studies at the University of Antwerp.

Ideological heterogeneity in mass plays in Flanders and the Netherlands In many European countries mass theatre was a widespread expression of ‘community art’ which became increasingly popular shortly before the First World War. From Max Reinhardt’s lavish open-air spectacles to socia­list workers’ Laienspiel (lay theatre), theatre visionaries focused on ever larger groups for entertainment as well as political agitation.

Despite wide research on the Soviet and German cases, examples from the Low Countries have hardly been examined. However, mass plays in Flanders and the Netherlands had a distinctive character, displaying an ideological heterogeneity not seen elsewhere. Mass Theatre in Inter-War Europe studies this peculiar phenomenon of the Low Countries in its Euro­ pean context and sheds light on the broader framework of mass movements in the inter-war period.

Religious Institutes and Catholic Culture in 19th- and 20th-Century Europe Urs Altermatt, Jan De Maeyer, Franziska Metzger (eds)

A broad perspective on the role of religious institutes in social and cultural practices This volume examines the cultural contribution of religious institutes, men and women religious, and their role in the constitution of Catholic communities of communication in different European countries. The articles focus on social and cultural history by comparing both discourses and cultural and social practices, as well as examining international networks and cultural transference. How did religious institutes function as cultural elites in the production and mediation of knowledge, ideologies, cultural codes, and practices? What kind of discursive and operational strategies did they use to help construct and propagate social Catholicism, ultramontanism, and confessionalism, and to establish and promote the Catholic communication system? What were the central mechanisms in the production of knowledge and how were they incorporated within identity politics?

The volume also takes a broad perspective on the role of religious institutes in the production and propagation of religious, cultural, and social practices, and in the socialisation of the Catholic population.

urs altermatt is Professor Emeritus in Contemporary History at the University of Fribourg. jan de maeyer is Professor at KU Leuven and director of kadoc-KU Leuven, Documentation and Research Centre for Religion, Culture and Society. franziska metzger is Lecturer in Contemporary History at the University of Fribourg.

Andere tijden, andere leiders?

Een beschrijving en analyse van leiderschapspraktijken op het bovenschoolse niveau Liesbeth Piot

liesbeth piot is doctor in de pedagogische wetenschappen en was tot 2013 verbonden aan het Centrum voor Onderwijsbeleid en -vernieuwing van de KU Leuven. Momenteel is ze werkzaam als pedagogisch directeur in de Sint-Ludgardisschool Antwerpen.

Praktische gids over schoolleiderschap voor onderzoekers en directeurs In Andere tijden, andere leiders? gaat Liesbeth Piot in op de gevolgen van schaalvergroting voor schoolleiderschap, met name in scholengemeenschappen. Aan de hand van een uitgebreide literatuurstudie en enkele concrete situaties uit de praktijk concludeert de auteur dat het school­ leiderschap wel degelijk aan verandering onderhevig is. Directeurs van scholengemeenschappen dienen afwegingen te maken tussen wat in het belang is van hun school en in hoeverre dit te verenigen is met belangen van anderen. Terwijl tegengestelde belangen er soms toe leiden dat directeurs zich terugtrekken uit een samenwerking, biedt een scholengemeenschap hen tegelijkertijd ook een belangrijke bron van ondersteuning doordat ze deel uitmaken van een groep van gelijkwaardige collega’s waarmee ze hun (emotionele) ervaringen kunnen delen. Het boek biedt een overzicht van de factoren die een rol spelen bij het bovenschoolse leiderschap en wil zo een gids vormen voor onderzoekers en directeurs.

Unsayable Music Six Reflections on Musical Semiotics, Electroacoustic and Digital Music Paulo C. Chagas

Profound theoretical and philosophical approach to contemporary music Unsayable Music presents theoretical, critical and analytical reflections on key topics of contemporary music including acoustic, electroacoustic and digital music, and audiovisual and multimedia composition. Six essays by Paulo C. Chagas approach music from different perspectives such as philo­ sophy, sociology, cybernetics, musical semiotics, media, and critical studies.

Chagas’s practical experience, both as a composer of contemporary music and sound director of the Electronic Music Studio of Cologne, nourishes his observations on the specific creativity that emerges with the use of the technical apparatus, the development of the electronic music studio, the different aesthetics of electroacoustic music, and the forms of audio­visual and multimedia composition. The title Unsayable Music is a reference to Wittgenstein, who suggested that sound is only the surface of music and that the musical work conceals something more profound that can hardly be described by philosophical models or scientific theories.

paulo c. chagas is Professor of Composition at the University of California, Riverside, member of the International Project on Music Signification, and composer of acoustic, electroacoustic, and audiovisual music. He is active in Europe, Brazil, and the United States.

‘Paulo C. Chagas is one of those remarkable composers well versed not only in the methods and means of musical creation but also in theoretical issues of aesthetics, semiotics, mathematics, and philology. This book displays an exceptional grasp of a wide range of complex theoretical and philosophical issues, all of them nonetheless directly connected to the act of composing music.’ – Walter Clark, University of California, Riverside

Improvising Early Music Johannes Menke, Peter Schubert, Robert C. Wegman Edited by Dirk Moelants

The history of musical improvisation from the late Middle Ages to the early Baroque Studying improvised music is always a challenge, due to its volatility and unpredictability. But what about studying musical improvisation from before the age of sound recordings? In this book three experts give their view on aspects of musical improvisation in the late medieval, renaissance, and early baroque periods. Historical sources show us how improvisation was an integral part of music education and how closely improvisation and composition were linked. This gives new insights into the way music was played in its original historical context and a new way to look at written scores from the past. Improvising Early Music will appeal to anyone interested in the historical background of our written musical heritage, and to musicians who want to gain a deeper insight in the way this music was created.

Ohne Worte Final volume Collected Writings of the Orpheus Institute

Vocality and Instrumentality in 19th-Century Music Jean-Pierre Bartoli, Hubert Moßburger, Jeanne Roudet, Douglass Seaton, Edoardo Torbianelli Edited by William Brooks

The musical thought and practice of canonical composers What can music tell us – without words? Can it depict scenes, narrate stories, elucidate beliefs? And can it be an instrument through which we access the inner lives not only of musicians from the past but of ourselves, today?

In Ohne Worte five scholars and performers probe these and related questions to illuminate both the experience and performance of nineteenthcentury music. Drawing on a rich range of sources, they reveal the musical thought and practice of canonical composers like Berlioz, Mendelssohn, and Schumann. Their work challenges us to reconsider our musical practices and the voices manifested in them, and it encourages the creation of an art that is both historical and transcendental.

william brooks is Professor of Music at the University of York, Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois, and a Research Fellow at the Orpheus Institute.

Handheld XRF for Art and Archaeology Aaron N. Shugar, Jennifer L. Mass (eds)

Applications, possibilities, and limitations of handheld XRF in art conservation and archaeology 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.

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 hand­ held XRF analysis in dealing with the complexity of materials encountered in this research.

Exempli Gratia Sagalassos, Marc Waelkens and Interdisciplinary Archaeology Jeroen Poblome (ed.)

Volume in honour of Marc Waelkens, the first project director of the Sagalassos Archaeological Research Project The Sagalassos Archaeological Research Project has made interdisciplinary practices part of its scientific strategy from the very beginning. The project is internationally acknowledged for important achievements in this respect.

Aspects of its approach to ancient Sagalassos can be considered groundbreaking for the archaeology of Anatolia and the wider fields of classical and Roman archaeology.

At the retirement of its first project director, Professor Marc Waelkens, this volume represents an excellent opportunity to reflect on the wider impact of the Sagalassos Archaeological Research Project.

jeroen poblome is Professor of Archaeology at KU Leuven and coordinates the Sagalassos Archaeological Research Project.

Lessen voor de eenentwintigste eeuw Bart Pattyn en Pieter d’Hoine (red.)

Twintigste bundel van het interfacultair college Lessen voor de 21ste eeuw Terugblikken helpt ons beter begrijpen waarom we zorg dragen voor wat we vandaag belangrijk vinden. Dit jaar herdenken we de Groote Oorlog die honderd jaar geleden begon, het verdrag van Versailles dat al de kiem van de Tweede Wereldoorlog bevatte en het ontstaan, vijfenzestig jaar geleden, van het genocideverdrag. Vandaag staat de Europese samenwerking die de ambitie had om de oude conflicten definitief op te heffen onder druk. Is de geschiedenis ertoe veroordeeld zich te herhalen of kunnen we uit onze fouten leren? Is Hegels vooruitgangsgeloof gerechtvaardigd of moeten we ons verzoenen met een tragischer perspectief op de geschiedenis? Hoe kaderen onze particuliere historische visies trouwens binnen het ruimere perspectief op het ontstaan van onze kosmos? Als mensen realiseren we ons niet alleen in confrontatie met het verleden, maar ook door te anticiperen op wat nog niet is, maar kan zijn. Vaak reikt de wetenschap ons daartoe de middelen aan. Computers die zelfstandig worden, chips die steeds kleiner en sneller zijn, of technologische innova­ ties in de geneeskunde: het zijn maar enkele voorbeelden van ontwikke­ lingen die onze toekomst mee vorm zullen geven. Over deze kwesties en veel meer gaat het in deze twintigste bundel met Lessen voor de eenen­twin­ tigste eeuw.

Based on extensive eyewitness testimony, the book chronicles events in and around the towns of Liège, Aarschot, Andenne, Tamines, Dinant, and Leuven.

People screamed, cried, and groaned. Above the tumult I could distinguish the voices of small children. All this time the soldiers were singing... Sometime after the first salvo, there was another round of fire and, once again, I was not hit. After this I heard fewer cries, save from time to time a small child calling its mother.’ – Félix Bourdon, survivor of a mass execution in Dinant
