The Belgian photonovel is the missing link in the amazing history of the photonovel, a comics-inspired form of visual narrative that combines elements from very different genres and media, ranging from literary melodrama, cinema, and of course comics. This monograph discloses the specific Belgian contribution to the genre, in close connection with the singularities of the Belgian women’s and general magazines where these photonovels appeared. If the photonovel is generally considered a typically French or Italian genre, this study demonstrates the importance of a different tradition, which appropriated the foreign models in a very original way. Belgian photonovels are distinct, not only because they tell other kinds of stories, but also because they interact with other types of magazines in ways that are very different from the mainstream forms of the genre in Italy and France. Finally, this lavishly illustrated study is also the first in scrutinizing the technical aspects of magazine printing techniques in the development of the photonovel.

Clarissa Colangelo  holds a PhD in literary and cultural studies and is affiliated with KU Leuven, where she is conducting research on the visual aspects of magazine culture in collaboration with the Belgian National Library (KBR).

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 meaning. In this book, leading academics from a variety of disciplines discuss ways to enhance the empowerment of older persons in practice. Covering a wide range of topics such as resilience, loneliness, community-based care, the interplay between formal and informal care, the inclusion of older persons’ perspectives in research and care, and empowering policy, Silver Empowerment is of interest to academics, policy makers and practitioners interested in empowerment and care and support systems for older persons.

Jasper De Witte  holds a PhD in sociology and is a research expert on inclusion and care for socially vulnerable groups at HIVA KU Leuven.

Tine Van Regenmortel  holds a PhD in psychology and is professor in social work at KU Leuven and Tilburg University.

Islamophobia as a Form of Radicalisation

Perspectives on Media, Academia and Socio-political Scapes from Europe and Canada

Leen d’Haenens · Abdelwahed Mekki-Berrada (eds)

Foundations and mechanisms of Islamophobia in the West

Islamophobia as a Form of Radicalisation discusses the scope and fragmented boundaries of Islamophobia as a concept and a sociopolitical reality. The fifteen chapters of this collection cover and connect interdisciplinary research, media content analyses, media discourse analysis, ethnographic research, intersectoral advocacy work, and action research conducted in Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Poland, Portugal, and Spain. Confronted with an Islamophobia that is growing as a symptom of broader societal malaise in the West, a resistance against it is also arising. It is now a question of better understanding the foundations and mechanism of this metasolidarity and resistance. Islamophobia as a Form of Radicalisation offers recommendations for urgent consideration by Muslim citizens of Canada and Europe, media professionals, civil society and academic stakeholders, policymakers at the municipal, provincial and federal levels, and academics.

Democratic societies are being challenged to look for new ways of doing politics that involve different stakeholders, particularly citizens. This book looks at public authorities’ attempts to put society at the core of public policies in the form of collaborative governance. It provides a full account of a major case from the provincial council of Gipuzkoa (Basque Country, Spain): 150 projects, more than 900 organisations, and 50.000 participants and beneficiaries. ‘Pracademic’ lessons learned derive from the interaction among 50 practitioners engaged in the day-to-day practice of the case and scholars from different countries. Topics included relate to major challenges that collaborative governance reforms are facing across the world: structures, institutionalisation, relationships, leadership, accountability, innovation, experimentation, communication, intangible resources, trust, and assessment of outcomes (particularly in terms of Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs. Ultimately, issues of democracy arise from a case covering a comprehensive list of policies: health, employment, elderly care, energy, cybersecurity, electromobility, artificial intelligence, immigration, education, social equity, and culture. This book is intended for students, professionals and scholars interested in fostering the study and practice of democracy.

Xabier Barandiaran  is advisor to the Head of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa and one of the main promoters of the development of Etorkizuna Eraikiz. He holds a PhD in sociology and is associate professor in the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences at the University of Deusto.

Contested Legacies

Critical Perspectives on Postwar Modern Housing

Andrea Migotto · Martino Tattara (eds)

New insights on the controversial and often-overlooked postwar large-scale housing estates

In the light of the current housing and environmental crisis and increasing social inequalities, there is a growing sense of urgency for architecture as a discipline to engage with the transformation in housing evident in the postwar period. Rather than conceiving this task as a technical matter, this book proposes to reassess the conditions and legacy of this large and ubiquitous housing stock. By foregrounding the mismatch between constructed cultural, social and ideological narratives and the everyday realities of residents, the contributors rediscover the value of oftenoverlooked modern open spaces and reconsider the technological advances that paved the way for this large-scale construction.

Contested Legacies advances a new notion of heritage which, rather than seeking to preserve the past, sets outs to actively transform what exists to meet current societal needs. It offers an ‘atlas’ of exemplary cases, each illustrating a defining yet often neglected aspect of modern postwar housing, from which present engagement and active reflection can grow, making the book an appealing read for both scholars and housing practitioners worldwide.

This wide-ranging book takes the study of postwar ‘welfare state’ mass housing to a completely new level – no longer content merely to plead the intrinsic interest or variety of an unfashionable subject, or just to factually document it. Instead, Contested Legacies presents a vital, critical analysis of how this vast patrimony can now be transformed to face the future, both as a massive resource of homes and of embodied carbon, but also as a potent cultural and social heritage. — Miles Glendinning, University of Edinburgh

First study on empty places in photography and the Covid-19 pandemic

In the aftermath of Covid-19, the subject of ‘empty places’ has gained renewed topicality and resonance. Watching, Waiting presents a collection of essays, both photographic and written, that brings emptiness into interdisciplinary focus as an object of study that extends beyond the present. The contributors approach the specific interrelationships of photography and place through emptiness by considering historical and contemporary material in equal measure. Drawing on architecture, anthropology, sociology, and public health, among other fields, they provide insights into geographically and temporally diverse production models of empty places and their corresponding complex and sensitive global and local relations, while also tackling the ethics of behaviour and protests that unfold within them. The book’s chapters, both visual and scholarly essays, cover areas that range widely both thematically and geographically, spanning static film footage of Nicosia’s buffer zone, protest photographs in the wake of Black Lives Matter demonstrations in Bristol, staged images from the University of Zagreb’s ethnological archives, historic landscape and architectural photography, aerial shots of covid-19 mass graves in Brazil, photos of artificially built field hospitals and quarantine rooms during the pandemic, and images of empty airports at night. Through still and moving images, Watching, Waiting examines the photographic aestheticization of emptiness, existing stereotypes of ‘empty places’, and transformations of human experiences.

Missionary Spaces

Imagining, Building, Contesting Christianities in Africa and China, 1840–1960

Thomas Coomans (ed)

The ‘spatial turn’ of missionary places

Situated at the crossroads of missionary history, imperial history and colonial architecture, this volume examines the architectural staging and spatial implications of the worldwide expansion of Christianity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By focusing on specific architectural fragments, analysing the intersection of Christian edifices in colonial and traditional urban settings or unravelling the social understanding of missionary places, each chapter strives to understand the agency of missionary spaces. Bringing together scholars from different disciplines and fields, this book aims to centre those missionary spaces by approaching them not merely as décor around and within which the missionary encounter was acted, but by making them part and parcel of it.

Through its approach, Missionary Spaces provides a new paradigm for scrutinising the ‘spatial turn’ for missionary histories and contributes to the increased attention across the humanities to space, place, and location since the late 1990s. Space does not occur as an historical given, but as a social construction to be analysed, while at the same time having explanatory value of its own.

This book focuses on Africa and the Chinese Region with contributions on Burundi, China, Congo, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, and Taiwan.

Thomas Coomans  is an architectural historian, professor at the Department of Architecture of KU Leuven, and program director of the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation.

Landscapes of Liberation

Mission and Development in Peru’s Southern Highlands, 1958–1988

Noah Oehri

Catholic mission from the mid-20th century onwards was complicated by geopolitical upheaval, church reform, and the emergent critique of the colonial power matrix to which the Church belonged. Missionary movements to Latin America coincided with visions for a progressive, radically transformative church.

Landscapes of Liberation expands scholarship into liberation theology’s reception in Andean America and critically examines the interplay of the Catholic Church as a global institution with parishes as local actors. Through source material from both sides of the Atlantic, this book charts how a transnational network of pastoral agents and laypeople in Peru’s southern highlands claimed mission and development as intertwined tenets of spiritual and social life throughout three decades of agrarian reform, activism, and social conflict. Ultimately, this book reveals how transformative theories for rural development yield contingent transformations: concrete change, yet contested liberation.

Epicureanism and Scientific Debates. Antiquity and Late Reception

Volume I. Language, Medicine, Meteorology

Francesca Masi · Pierre-Marie Morel · Francesco Verde (eds)

Epicureanism is not only a defence of pleasure: it is also a philosophy of science and knowledge. This edited collection explores new pathways for the study of Epicurean scientific thought, a hitherto still understudied domain, and engages systematically and critically with existing theories. It shows that the philosophy of Epicurus and his heirs, from antiquity to the classical age, founded a rigorous and coherent conception of knowledge. This first part of a two-volume set examines more specifically the contribution of Epicureanism in the fields of language, medicine, and meteorology (i.e., celestial, geological and atmospheric phenomena).

Offering a renewed image of Epicureanism, the book includes studies on the nature of human language and on the linguistic aspects of scientific discourse; on the relationship between Epicureanism and ancient medicine, from Hippocrates to Galen; on meteorological phenomena and the method of explaining them; and on the reception of Epicurus’s legacy in Gassendi.

The Book of Requiems, 1550–1650

From the Earliest Ages to the Present Period

David J. Burn · Antonio Chemotti (eds)

Few western musical repertories speak more to the imagination than the Requiem mass for the dead. Yet, surprisingly, despite the significance of Requiem settings for our musical culture, the literature concerning them is sparse. The Book of Requiems presents essays on the most important works in this tradition, from the origins of the genre up to the present day. Each chapter is devoted to a specific Requiem, and offers both historical information and a detailed work-discussion. Conceived as a multi-volume essay collection by leading experts, the Book of Requiems is an authoritative reference publication intended as a first port of call for musicologists, music theorists, and performers both professional and student.

The present volume, the second in the series, treats settings composed between c. 1550 and c. 1650, a period in which the Requiem becomes a defining feature of the soundscape of Catholic death rituals.

The Book of Requiems will become a primary reference tool on this fascinating genre and serve as a crucial aid to researchers, performers, and students of various disciplines. The editors of the second volume in the series have made a highly insightful decision to group together works from ca. 1550 to ca. 1650; this cuts across stylistic changes and reveals the most intense period of creation of Requiem settings and many shared compositional approaches across the traditional style periods. — Grayson Wagstaff, The Catholic University of America

Van hof naar kapel

Franse air-de-courmelodieën in zeventiende-eeuwse liedboeken uit de Zuidelijke Nederlanden

Tine De Koninck

Zeventiende-eeuwse geestelijke liedboeken uit de Zuidelijke Nederlanden bevatten opvallend veel liederen op air-de-courmelodieën. Om de katholieke bevolking het geloof te laten uitzingen, schreven geestelijken volgens het principe van contractuur nieuwe liedteksten op airs de cour, contemporaine profane liederen gecomponeerd door roemrijke musici aan het Franse hof. Het boek legt een interessant spanningsveld bloot: enerzijds veroordeelde de Kerk de air de cour als profane modetrend in de muziek en anderzijds gebruikte ze die zelf wel voor eigen doeleinden. De auteur onderzoekt daarbij hoe het liedgenre onze gewesten bereikte en hoe de liederen aan populariteit wonnen en zich verspreidden in onze liedcultuur.

Hoe air-de-courmelodieën

aan populariteit wonnen in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden

Met dit boek brengt Tine de Koninck de diepgaande invloed van de Franse air-de-courmelodieën op de zeventiende-eeuwse geestelijke liedcultuur van de Zuidelijke Nederlanden voor het eerst in kaart. Ze verkent de wegen waarlangs de airs de cour de Zuidelijke Nederlanden bereikten en gaat vervolgens na hoe dit frivole repertoire via de contrafactuur dienstbaar werd gemaakt aan vroomheid en geloof. Op een virtuoze wijze weet De Koninck literatuurwetenschap en musicologie met elkaar te combineren, en toch laat haar glasheldere betoog de lezer geen ogenblik in de steek. — Frank Willaert, Universiteit Antwerpen

Lessen voor de eenentwintigste eeuw 29

Ongelijkheid manifesteert zich in tal van vormen. Sommige multinationals zijn zo groot geworden dat ze succesvolle start-ups opkopen en hun winst laten afvloeien naar een kleine groep aandeelhouders die steeds meer middelen accumuleren. In onze eigen samenleving zou de kloof toenemen tussen een kleine schare superrijken en een veel grotere groep die zienderogen verarmt. De realiteit blijkt complexer en het wetenschappelijk onderzoek over ongelijkheid leidt tot soms verrassende inzichten. Ook de nadelige effecten van milieuproblemen en klimaatverandering zijn ongelijk verdeeld en nergens is ongelijkheid schrijnender aanwezig dan in de gezondheidszorg. Op mondiaal vlak spelen de koloniale en neokoloniale machtsverhoudingen onrechtvaardigheid in de hand. Ongelijkheid manifesteert zich ook in sferen waarover weinig wordt gecommuniceerd, zoals in die van de strafuitvoering. Verder wordt in deze lessenreeks aandacht besteed aan brandende thema’s als de energiereconversie, kunst en psychische kwetsbaarheid, weefseldonatie voor kankeronderzoek, ethische vragen omtrent artificiële intelligentie, mediagebruik en het psychisch welzijn van jongeren, geweld in de pleegzorg, en overdiagnosticering.

Bart Pattyn  is hoogleraar ethiek aan het Hoger Instituut voor Wijsbegeerte en directeur van het Overlegcentrum voor Ethiek van de KU Leuven. Pieter d’Hoine  is hoogleraar antieke wijsbegeerte verbonden aan het Hoger Instituut voor Wijsbegeerte, KU Leuven.
