Cold War Triangle How Scientists in East and West Tamed HIV Reni ld e Lo e ckx

A small group of scientists were doggedly working in the field of antiviral treatments when the AIDS epidemic struck. Faced with one of the grand challenges of modern biology of the twentieth century, scientists worked across the political divide of the Cold War to produce a new class of antivirals. Their molecules were developed by a Californian start-up together with teams of scientists at the Rega Institute of KU Leuven and the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry (IOCB) of the Academy of Sciences in Prague. These molecules became the cornerstone of the blockbuster drugs now used to combat and prevent HIV. Cold War Triangle gives an insight into the human face of science as it recounts the extraordinary story of scientists in East and West who overcame ideological barriers and worked together for the benefit of humanity.

Over koningen, kruisvaarders en jihadi’s De Levant beschreven door bisschop en historiograaf Willem van Tyrus (ca. 1130–ca. 1186) Gu st D e Pret er

Een unieke blik op de kruistochten naar het Midden-Oosten

Ga naar www.upl.be/OverKoningen voor de integrale vertaling van het Chronicon.

Het Midden-Oosten is vandaag een kruitvat, een strijdtoneel van groot­ machten, een slagveld van religieus radicalisme. Tijdens de kruis­tochten in de twaalfde eeuw was het vaak niet anders. Om tot oplossingen te komen, kampte men met vergelijkbare socio-politieke vragen, zoals: Real­politik versus eigen principes, hoever kan men daarin gaan? Akkoorden afsluiten met ‘de vijand’ en met ‘de religieus andere’, is dat wel ethisch verantwoord? Ondergraaft men zo niet de eigen manier van leven? Zijn religieuze tolerantie en vreedzaam multicultureel samenleven wel haal­baar of moet hier niet eerder geopteerd worden voor pragmatisme in de omgang met ‘de andere’? In Over koningen, kruisvaarders en jihadi’s maakt de lezer kennis met de twaalfde-eeuwse aartsbisschop Willem van Tyrus, rijkskanselier van het Koninkrijk Jeruzalem en deskundige correspondent ter plaatse. Aan de hand van Willems getuigenis over de middeleeuwse Levant schetst Gust De Preter de historische context. Hij bespreekt de belangrijkste en meest markante observaties en inzichten uit het Chronicon, betrekt ze op de huidige situatie in het Midden-Oosten en trekt behoedzaam interessante parallellen. Door intermezzo's waarin de auteur citeert uit zijn online beschikbare en integrale vertaling van het Chronicon, krijgt de lezer een uniek inzicht in de kruistochten naar het Midden-Oosten en een inkijk in het prikkelende gedachtegoed van een scherpzinnige chroniqueur. Voorwoord van historicus en Midden-Oosten-correspondent Jorn De Cock. Gust De Preter was leraar klassieke talen en godsdienst, schooldirecteur en stafmedewerker bij Katholiek Onderwijs Vlaanderen. Hij verdiepte zich in de kruistochten, Latijnse kruisvaartkronieken en de beeldvorming over ‘de andere’ in de kunst.

‘Via Willem van Tyrus – overigens zelf een migrant van de tweede generatie – heeft De Preter een unieke inkijk gevonden in een belangrijke periode voor Europa en de Arabische wereld, en hij heeft daarover dit hoogst inzichtelijke en leesbare boek geschreven. In andere tijden zou de auteur daarvoor terecht zijn bekroond met een volle aflaat.’ — Jorn De Cock

The First World War witnessed an unprecedented mobilization of philosophers: as soldiers at the front, as public figures on the home front, as nurses in field hospitals; as mothers and wives, sons and fathers in wartime. In Germany, the war irrupted in the midst of the rapid growth of Edmund Husserl’s phenomenological movement – widely considered one of the most significant philosophical movements in twentieth century thought. Philosophers at the Front offers a documentary history of phenomenology in the First World War. Through an exceptional collection of primary source materials (letters, postcards, original writings, photographs) from the Husserl Archives in Leuven, the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, and the Archives of the University of Göttingen, the complex narratives of how the war affected the lives and thought of central figures in the phenomenological movement are charted. Key figures such as Edmund Husserl, his sons Wolfgang and Gerhart, Max Scheler, Edith Stein, Adolf Reinach, Martin Heidegger, and others are included in this collection of materials. The volume includes reproductions of original material, as well as German transcription of all texts and their English translation. Nicolas de Warren is professor of philosophy at the Centre for Phenomenology and Continental Philosophy / Husserl Archives at KU Leuven. Thomas Vongehr studied philosophy in Munich and obtained his PhD from LudwigMaximilians-Universität Munich in 1995. Since 2002, he is assistant at the Husserl Archives at KU Leuven.

Veel studenten die vandaag de aula’s bevolken, hebben het uitbreken van de financiële crisis in 2008 niet van nabij beleefd. De Grote Recessie die in 2009 losbrak, ligt intussen ook al bijna tien jaar achter ons. En pas nu, na acht moeizame jaren, kruipt de Europese economie schuchter uit het dal. De economische vooruitzichten klaren (eindelijk) op, de groei trekt wat aan en de werkloosheid neemt af. Sinds Economie. Een inleiding – editie 2013 is er bijgevolg veel veranderd. Hoog tijd dus voor een grondige herwerking van hét handboek waar­mee generaties studenten sinds 1977 hun weg vinden in economie als wetenschap. De economische realiteit mag dan wel drastisch veranderd zijn, de vragen zijn er daarom niet minder en al zeker niet makkelijker op geworden. Denk maar aan: Hoe komt het dat het ruim acht jaar duurde om de crisis te verteren? Was het drieste besparingsbeleid wel het gepaste antwoord op de crisis? Zou het voor Griekenland gemakkelijker geweest zijn om de crisis te bekampen met een eigen munt? Is er wel sprake van perfecte mededinging nu internetgiganten zoals Facebook, Google of Amazon alle concurrentie wegblazen? En waarom neemt het verzet tegen globalisering en vrijhandels­akkoorden zo fel toe, als de theorie leert dat iedereen net beter wordt van vrijhandel? En hangt dit samen met de discussie rond ongelijkheid, die de Franse econoom Thomas Piketty nieuw leven inblies? Allemaal pertinente vragen en het maatschappelijk debat errond getuigt vaak van een grote nood aan duidelijke antwoorden. Economie. Een inleiding – editie 2017 biedt hierbij geen definitieve antwoorden, wel: —— een helder begrippenkader —— theorievorming over deze vragen —— een helikopterzicht op onze economie om de snelle veranderingen te begrijpen en te duiden.

Textbook

Beschikbaar vanaf academiejaar 2017—2018! Wat is er gewijzigd in deze versie van het handboek? Met een economische realiteit die er volledig anders uitziet dan bij de vorige grondige herwerking in 2010 was er nood aan meer dan de gewone opfrisbeurt. Dit zijn enkele belangrijke wijzigingen: —— In elk hoofdstuk wordt nog explicieter de link gelegd met de actualiteit. Zowat alle micro-economische hoofdstukken sluiten af met een uitgewerkt voorbeeld, dat een verband legt tussen de soms abstracte theorie en de concrete economische realiteit. Wie het handboek leest, zal merken dat er economische principes schuilen in de kleinste hoekjes van ons dagelijkse leven. —— Voor het macrodeel was het vanzelfsprekend dat de Grote Recessie en de invloed ervan op de macroeconomische inzichten een centrale rol krijgt toebedeeld. De vele tabellen en figuren kregen een update op basis van het meest recente cijfermateriaal en de laatst beschikbare prognoses. —— Hoofdstukken werden om didactische redenen gesplitst of net samengevoegd. Zo is er nu een apart hoofdstuk dat gewijd is aan ongelijkheid en verdeling, een nieuw hoofdstuk dat de vraag behandelt in hoeverre de onzichtbare hand van de markt ons in de richting van het ‘beste’ resultaat stuwt, en een nieuw hoofdstuk over kapitaal- en financiële markten. —— Het handboek verschijnt ook als e-boek. Bij aankoop van het papieren boek ontvangt de lezer een unieke toegang tot het e-boek. —— Voor docenten zijn er didactische slides bij het handboek beschikbaar.

French Cartoon Art in the 1960s and 1970s Pilote hebdomadaire and the Teenager Bande Dessinée W endy Mich all at

© V. Cabut

€ 55,00 / £49.00 ISBN 978 94 6270 122 9 November 2017 Paperback, 17 × 23 cm Illustrated ca. 256 pp. English Studies in European Comics and Graphic Novels 6

The French comic magazine Pilote hebdomadaire arrived in a weakening comics market in 1959 largely dominated by syndicated translations of American comics and comics inspired by a Catholic ethos. It tailored its content and tone to an older adolescent reader far removed from that of France’s infant comic. Pilote’s profile set it on a turbulent course subject to the vicissitudes and fickleness of fashion which situated it within an emerging teenager press under pressure to renew and innovate to survive. When it made cartoons its defining characteristic in 1963, Pilote articulated its uniqueness by channelling teenager discourse through them whilst also trying to encourage a zest for education in a modernising and economically buoyant France of exciting new opportunities. Pilote’s cartoon art thus became a dynamic repository for the ideas and attitudes of France’s educated youth which evolved into the radical discourses of the lifestyle and political revolutions of the late 1960s and early 1970s. This book tells how Pilote hebdomadaire’s unique positioning in a new and fast developing youth press market for teenagers provided the forum and catalyst for the bande dessinée’s stylistic evolution over the course of the 1960s and 1970s. Wendy Michallat is a lecturer in French at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom. She teaches and researches in the field of French cultural history and popular culture.

Art History after Deleuze and Guattari S jo erd van T ui nen, St eph en Z epke (ed s)

At the crossroads of philosophy, artistic practice, and art history Though Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari were not strictly art historians, they reinvigorated ontological and formal approaches to art, and simultaneously borrowed art historical concepts for their own philosophical work. They were dedicated modernists, inspired by the German school of expressionist art historians such as Riegl, Wölfflin, and Worringer and the great modernist art critics such as Rosenberg, Steinberg, Greenberg, and Fried. The work of Deleuze and Guattari on mannerism and Baroque art has led to new approaches to these artistic periods, and their radical transdisciplinarity has influenced contemporary art like no other philosophy before it. Their work therefore raises important methodological questions on the differences and relations among philosophy, artistic practice, and art history. In Art History after Deleuze and Guattari international scholars from all three fields explore what a ‘DeleuzoGuattarian art history’ could be today. € 59,50 / £53.00 ISBN 978 94 6270 115 1 November 2017 Paperback, 16 × 24 cm ca. 334 pp. 18 full color illustrations English eBook available

Contrebande littéraire et culturelle à la Belle Époque Le « hard labour » de Georges Eekhoud entre Anvers, Paris et Bruxelles Maud G o nne

Romancier bien connu du panthéon littéraire belge, Georges Eekhoud (1854–1927) ne s’est pas limité aux pratiques d’auteur prestigieuses et à la langue française. Son « hard labour » quotidien – comme il le qualifiait lui-même – de chroniqueur bilingue et de feuilletoniste anonyme franchissait continuellement les frontières linguistiques et nationales. Tantôt douanier, tantôt contrebandier, il a colporté, adapté et manipulé des discours patriotiques en français et en néerlandais entre Anvers, Paris et Bruxelles. L’étude de ces activités inédites, aux confins de l’écriture et de la traduction, offre une vision méconnue des relations interculturelles en Belgique à la Belle Époque.

Cultural Mediation in Europe, 1800–1950 Rei ne Mey l aert s, Li ev en D ’hul st, T om V er s ch affel (ed s)

From the early nineteenth century till the middle of the twentieth century, cultures in Europe were primarily national. They were organized and conceived of as attributes of the nation states. Nonetheless, these national cultures crossed borders with an unprecedented intensity even before globalization transformed the very concept of culture. During that long period, European cultures have imported and exported products, techniques, values, and ideas, relying on invisible but efficient international networks. The central agents of these networks are considered mediators: translators, publishers, critics, artists, art dealers and collectors, composers. These agents were not only the true architects of intercultural transfer, they also largely contributed to the shaping of a common canon and of aesthetic values that became part of the history of national cultures. Cultural Mediation in Europe, 1800–1950 analyses the strategic transfer roles of cultural mediators active in large parts of Western Europe in domains as varied as literature, music, painting, or art design.

Experimental Encounters in Music and Beyond Kat h leen C o e ssen s (ed. )

Multidisciplinary analysis of experimentalism in music and the wider arts today Experimental Encounters in Music and Beyond opens a necessary dialogue on experimental practices in the arts and negotiates their place in contemporary society. Going beyond the music-historical usage of the term ‘experimental’, this book reimagines experimentation as an open working definition encompassing multiple forms of artistic attitudes and processes. The texts, images, and sounds offer multiple traces, faces, and spaces, revealing what experimentalism in music and the wider arts entails today. With perspectives from a range of disciplines – from choreography through composition to philosophy and beyond – the different experiences and artistic projects documented and discussed explore the complexity of experimentation in a way that is all the richer for being never-ending.

Gilles Deleuze’s intriguing concept of the dark precursor refers to intensive processes of energetic flows passing between fields of different potentials. Fleetingly used in Difference and Repetition, it remained underexplored in Deleuze’s subsequent work. In this collection of essays numerous contributors offer perspectives on Deleuze’s concept of the dark precursor as it affects artistic research, providing a wide-ranging panorama on the intersection between music, art, philosophy, and scholarship. The forty-eight chapters in this publication present a kaleidoscopic view of different fields of knowledge and artistic practices, exposing for the first time the diversity and richness of a world situated between artistic research and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. Within different understandings of artistic research, the authors – composers, architects, performers, philosophers, sculptors, film-makers, painters, writers, and activists – map practices and invent concepts, contributing to a creative expansion of horizons, materials, and methodologies.

His individual approach to music was established in the 1980s and he continues to explore and enlarge his original concepts today. His 1980s work is at the core of this book, more specifically his instrumental music: the Chiffre cycle and the string quartets. Thinking about Rihm includes reflecting on his interest in philosophy, his relation to fine arts, his awareness of principles found in nature, and his references to important composers from the past. His music is embedded in the past and the actuality in modernism and postmodernism. Notwithstanding Rihm’s generosity in essays and introductions to his works, many aspects of the ‘inner sound’ of his music stay an elusive, ungraspable ‘chiffre’: a challenge for the analyst. With Foreword by Richard McGregor (Professor Emeritus, University of Cumbria) Yves Knockaert is professor of history of music, philosophy of music, and contemporary music and researcher at LUCA School of Arts, Campus Lemmens (Leuven).

The elusive and ungraspable in Rihms’s music

Het Narrenschip in de Lage Landen Deel 1: Josse Bade: Der zotten ende der narren scip – tekst en hertaling Deel 2: Het schip ingaan – inleiding en aantekeningen T h e o Jan ssen, Ann Mary ni ssen

Sebastian Brants moraalsatire Das Narrenschyff (1494) maakte dankzij Jakob Lochers Latijnse bewerking Stultifera Nauis (1497) snel furore in de kring van de Europese humanisten. Al in 1500 verscheen in Parijs een drastische omwerking van deze bestseller in het Laatmiddelvlaams: Dit is der zotten ende der narren scip. Dit prachtwerk wordt toegeschreven aan de Gentse humanist Josse Bade (1462–1535). Het boek bestaat uit 117 hoofdstukken, met meestal eerst een motto op rijm, dan een houtsnede en de centrale tekst, waarna veelal een berijmde moraal. De hoofdstukken fungeren als columns over een breed scala van dwaasheden die de auteur hekelt en waarbij hij raad geeft. Het Narrenschip in de Lage Landen biedt een heruitgave van Josse Bades meesterwerk met hertaling en cultuurhistorische toelichtingen.

A Perfect Medium? Oracular Divination in the Thought of Plutarch El s a Giovanna Simo net t i

Oracular divination was of special concern for Plutarch of Chaeronea (45–120 AD), Platonic philosopher as well as priest at the oracle of Apollo in Delphi. The peculiar nature of Delphic divination as an (im)perfect intermediary between the material and the immaterial world is fathomed in a thorough study of Plutarch’s Delphic dialogues. This in-depth philo­ sophical-conceptual analysis will disclose an original interpretation of oracular divination in Plutarch as interconnected with his psycho­logical and cosmological conceptions. A Perfect Medium? reveals the Delphic temple as a crucial element in Plutarch’s philosophy, as a microcosm reflecting the cosmic dynamics, and as a symbol embodying the relation­ ship between human thirst for knowledge and divine absolute wisdom. Elsa Giovanna Simonetti obtained her PhD in philosophy from Università di Padova and KU Leuven in 2016. € 75,00 / £67.00 ISBN 978 94 6270 111 3 September 2017 Hardback, 16 × 24 cm 256 pp. English Plutarchea Hypomnemata eBook available

The Journal of Diversity and Gender Studies (DiGeSt) is a bi-annual, peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to the intersection of diversity and gender studies. It is included in the Flemish Academic Bibliography for the Social Sciences and the Humanities (VABB-SHW). DiGeSt has the ambition to be a leading journal in the field and publishes original work from a wide array of disciplines including sociology, anthropology, communication sciences, political sciences, philosophy, history, arts, and literature. In addition, it is open to work from other disciplines such as psychology and educational sciences, especially when there is a strong link with frameworks that are also used in the social sciences and the humanities. DiGeSt mainly publishes work related to Europe. Given that debates about gender and diversity often transcend national borders, the journal occasionally also publishes work related to other geographical contexts. —— For Researchers DiGeSt solicits articles that problematize gender and/or focus on issues dealing with diversity in all its manifestations. It seeks original contributions that present the results of new research, reflect on methodological challenges, and engage with new theories or work across disciplines. —— Special Issues DiGeSt welcomes suggestions for guest-edited special issues and invites potential guest editors to send their proposals, with suggested contributors, to the editor.

Sacrale ruimte in de vroegmoderne Nederlanden Li e sbet h Geev er s en V io let S o en (red. )

Eerste nummer van het tijdschrift Nieuwe Tijdingen

22

Terwijl de tijd vervliegt, is ruimte weerbarstig. Dat bleek in het bij­zonder in de Reformatietijd van de zestiende en zeventiende eeuw. Toen werd het religieuze landschap weliswaar grondig hertekend, maar ruimtes die van oudsher een sacrale status hadden (zoals kerken, koren en kerk­hoven) bleven vaak ononderbroken in gebruik, al dan niet met een andere functie. Deze Nieuwe Tijdingen onderzoeken daarom het (her)gebruik van sacrale ruimtes in tijden van ingrijpende religieuze verandering, een thema dat vandaag een belangrijk onderzoeks­object is geworden in het vroegmodern onderzoek. Tegelijkertijd brengen ze onderzoek over de Noorde­lijke en de Zuidelijke Nederlanden samen. Zo blijken ruimtes te lezen als palimpsesten, met laag na laag vol betekenis. Ruimtes laten niet gemakkelijk los.

Nieuwe Tijdingen. Over vroegmoderne geschiedenis neemt de lezer mee naar het vervlogen verleden van de vijftiende tot en met de achttiende eeuw. Iedere uitgave richt zich op een recente ontwikkeling in het historisch onderzoek naar deze schakelperiode. Daardoor komen verrassende thema’s aan bod: van sacrale ruimte tot publieksgeschiedenis, van handelsnetwerken tot lobbypraktijken, van festiviteiten tot onderwijsinstellingen. Geïnteresseerden in de vroegmoderne tijd worden zo geprikkeld door toegankelijk geschreven bijdragen, terwijl vakgenoten in deze aan peer review onderworpen artikelen de laatste stand van het onderzoek kunnen consulteren. Nieuwe Tijdingen is een initiatief van de Vlaams-Nederlandse Vereniging voor Nieuwe Geschiedenis (VNVNG) en verschijnt vanaf 2017 bij Universitaire Pers Leuven. Voor leden van VNVNG is een abonnement op het tijdschrift inbegrepen in het jaarlijks lidgeld.
