Contents
Pioniersstudie over dans in de Belgische kunstwereld Dans in België brengt het boeiende verhaal van vijftig jaar dansgeschiedenis. Lang vóór er sprake was van De Keersmaeker of Béjart dacht men in Brussel en Antwerpen al na over de plaats van dans tussen de kunsten. Terwijl dans in de late negentiende eeuw gebukt ging onder een kwalijke reputatie, veroverde de kunstvorm in de periode 1890–1940 een belang rijke plaats in het Belgische artistieke landschap. Staf Vos toont hoe buitenlandse dansers, van Isadora Duncan en Les Ballets Russes tot Rudolf von Laban, als voorbeeld dienden voor binnen landse initiatieven. Daarnaast vertelt dit boek over filosofen, kunstenaars, pedagogen en politici die werden getroffen door de kracht van dans. De lezer krijgt hierdoor een originele kijk op het Belgische artistieke en intellectuele leven in de vroege twintigste eeuw.

Between Educationalization and Appropriation Selected Writings on the History of Modern Educational Systems
Trend en toeval Inleiding tot de kwantitatieve methoden voor historici Bruno Blondé, Isabelle Devos, Jord Hanus & Wouter Ryckbosch
by Marc Depaepe, with a Foreword by Marc Vervenne
marc depaepe is Professor of History of Education at the University of Leuven.
Advanced reader on the history of education Developments in educational systems worldwide have largely contri buted to the modernization and globalization of present-day society. However, in order to fully understand their impact, educational systems must be interpreted against a background of particular situations and contexts. This textbook brings together more than twenty (collaborative) contribu tions focusing on the two key themes in the work of Marc Depaepe: edu cationalization and appropriation. Compiled for his international master classes, these selected writings provide not only a thorough introduction to the history of modern educational systems, but also a twenty-five year overview of the work of a well-known pioneer in the field of history of education. Covering the modernization of schooling in Western history, the characteristics and origins of educationalization, the colonial experi ence in education and the process of appropriation, Between Education alization and Appropriation will be of great interest to a larger audience of scholars in the social sciences.
Basishandboek historische statistiek Kwantitatieve methoden zijn fundamenteel voor het historisch denken en dus een onmisbaar onderdeel van het metier van de historicus. Ze helpen om samenhang te ontdekken tussen variabelen (ook al is die niet meteen zichtbaar) en maken intuïtief kwantitatief denken expliciet. Een goede kennis van historische statistiek stelt (toekomstige) historici in staat beweringen te toetsen, eventueel te weerleggen of om op basis van een selectie van bronnen toch uitspraken te doen over een groter geheel. Trend en toeval biedt een fundamentele basis voor al wie te maken heeft met historische statistiek. De auteurs brengen een helder overzicht van de methoden om historische gegevens te ordenen, weer te geven en te be schrijven. Daarnaast bevat dit handboek ook een inleiding tot de tijdreeks analyse en een eerste kennismaking met hypothesevorming en -toetsing. Met concrete historische voorbeelden illustreren de auteurs niet alleen de samenhang tussen de historische statistiek en de historische kritiek, maar ook de beperkingen die de bronnen vaak aan de gekozen kwantitatieve methoden opleggen.

jan van impe studeerde archeologie aan de KU Leuven. Hij heeft gewerkt als archeoloog en journalist en werkt sinds 1996 voor de Universiteitsbibliotheek, als informatiespecialist.
Vernieuwde pocketgids met historische en architecturale notities én een rondleiding in en rond de bibliotheek De Universiteitsbibliotheek aan het Mgr. Ladeuzeplein te Leuven is niet alleen een prachtig gebouw en een moderne wetenschappelijke bibliotheek die jaar lijks door meer dan 100.000 lezers geconsulteerd wordt, maar ook een histo risch monument van formaat. Haar fundamenten zijn verankerd in de meest tragische episode uit de 20ste eeuw: de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Door de ver woesting van Leuven in 1914 brandde de bibliotheekvleugel van de Universi teitshal volledig af. Dankzij royale Amerikaanse schenkingen werd in 1921 een nieuw bibliotheekgebouw aan het Mgr. Ladeuzeplein opgericht. Voor iedereen die kennis wil maken met de ‘geschiedenis’ van dit opmerke lijke gebouw, of die een wandeling wil maken in en om de bibliotheek is deze gids een absolute aanrader!

Updated pocket guide with history, architecture, biographical notes and a walking tour in and around the library The University Library at the Mgr. Ladeuzeplein in Leuven is not only a beautiful building and a modern scientific library consulted by more than 100,000 readers a year, but also an important historical monument. Its foundations are rooted in that tragic episode in the 20th century, the First World War. In the mass destruction of Leuven in 1914 the library of the University was burned and completely destroyed. Thanks to generous American donations the new library building on the Mgr. Ladeuzeplein was established in 1921. For anyone who wants to learn more about the history of this remarkable building, or who wants to walk in and around the library, this guide is an absolute must!

Tekenen en betekenen Opstellen over het architectuur instituut Sint-Lucas, 1862–2012
Dies irae Kroniek van het requiem Pieter Bergé (red.), met medewerking van Jan Christiaens
Rajesh Heynickx, Yves Schoonjans en Sven Sterken (red.)
rajesh heynickx doet onderzoek naar de ontwikkeling van kunstfilosofie en architectuurtheorie in de twintigste eeuw. yves schoonjans doet onderzoek naar het negentiende-eeuwse eclecticisme en de ontwikkeling van de naoorlogse architectuur in België. sven sterken doet onderzoek naar de rol van architectuur in de naoorlogse Welvaartstaat, met een accent op sociale huisvesting en religieuze infrastructuur.
Een bijzonder verhaal van tekenklas tot Faculteit Architectuur In het najaar van 2012 staat de architectuurschool Sint-Lucas, met campussen in Brussel en Gent, voor een kantelmoment. Enerzijds viert de school haar 125 jarig jubileum, anderzijds promoveert Sint-Lucas op dat moment tot de nieuwe Faculteit Architectuur van de KU Leuven. Deze bundel onthult een reeks historische facetten van dit veelzijdige architectuurinstituut dat ooit startte als een kleine tekenklas, geleid door broeders. De 17 auteurs nemen zowel de ‘founding fathers’ als de criticasters van Sint-Lucas onder de loep, traceren de sporen die studiekringen en buitenlandse gastsprekers nalieten, peilen naar vormen van engagement in studententijdschriften en ontrafelen de logica van een lerarenkamer. Aan de hand van deze detailstudies verschaft Tekenen en betekenen inzicht in de manier waarop het architectuuronderwijs gedu rende de laatste anderhalve eeuw heeft ingespeeld op belangrijke maat schappelijke en culturele evoluties.
‘Best vormgegeven boek 2012’ in de categorie ‘business en wetenschap’! ‘Schoon, prachtig, schitterend gedaan. Moet er nog gestemd worden?’, vraagt een alert jurylid als ‘Dies irae. Kroniek van het requiem’ na de individuele keu ring op de jurytafel wordt gelegd. De detaillering in de typografie, de verzorg de afwerking, het zwarte blad dat geregeld terugkomt, rood op snee, en een strak, duidelijk en aantrekkelijk kaft: niets op aan te merken. Letterlijk! Het requiem spreekt tot de verbeelding. Ontstaan uit de gregoriaanse dodenmis, heeft het requiem heel wat grote componisten geïnspireerd tot het schrijven van prachtige muziek. In Dies irae wordt aan de hand van 25 belangrijke werken een overzicht geboden van de geschiedenis van het westerse requiem. Naast bekende werken van Mozart, Verdi, Brahms, Fauré en Britten komen ook de oude muziek van onder meer Orlandus Lassus en meer recente werken van componisten als Kurt Weill en Andrew Lloyd Webber aan bod. In dit prachtig vormgegeven bladerboek, geschreven in een zeer toegan kelijke stijl die geen muzikale voorkennis vereist, kan de lezer kennis maken met het requiem in vele facetten en uitvoeringen.

‘Uiteindelijk wil ‘Dies Irae’ een luistergids zijn. Per componist wordt daarom ook een referentie-opname vermeld, die vervolgens met exacte tijdsaandui dingen wordt beschreven in de bijhorende tekst. Op die manier wordt de luisteraar echt bij de hand geleid: enerzijds om op een gerichte manier te leren luisteren naar de requiems, anderzijds om nieuwe referentieopnames te ontdekken, die soms een beetje zijn ondergesneeuwd onder nieuwere uit gaven. Ook voor de doorwinterde liefhebber is dit kortom een enorm inte ressant boek. […] De kans dat internationaal gereputeerde musicologen dit werk beter hadden kunnen schrijven, is eigenlijk niet reëel. Bij de KU Leuven mogen ze trots zijn op een prachtige, enorm leerrijke publicatie als deze.’ – Hildegart Maertens, Kwadratuur, 27 maart 2012

In and Out of Brussels Figuring Postcolonial Africa and Europe in the Films of Herman Asselberghs, Sven Augustijnen, Renzo Martens, and Els Opsomer T. J. Demos and Hilde Van Gelder (eds) From the film Spectres (2011), Sven Augustijnen
Outcome of the project In and Out of Brussels – book & DVD In and Out of Brussels examines four Brussels-based artistic projects that converge in critically investigating the figuration of Africa in the image economy of the West: Herman Asselberghs’s Speech Act (2011), Sven Augustijnen’s Spectres (2011), Renzo Martens’s Episode III – Enjoy Poverty (2008) and Els Opsomer’s Building Stories: That Distant Piece of Mine (2012). While each is a singular film, together they reveal Africa’s postcolonial imaginary to be a zone of crisis, situated between humanitarian emergency, financial pillage, and the politics of memory on the one hand, and the fictional – but nonetheless consequential – construction of European identity on the other. Just as dominant neocolonial narratives (which all too often cover over movements for independence and social justice) are critically played out and contested in these works, so too are documentary conventions creatively reinvented by Asselberghs, Augustijnen, Martens, and Opsomer. The resulting moving images emerge as a complex site of postcolonial haunting, self-reflexive performativity, researched analysis, archival reordering, and post-documentary cinematic affect. This book represents the outcome of an interdisciplinary and interna tional research project, that gathered theoreticians, art critics, curators, and artists over a two-year period (2010–2012). The conversations col lected and reprinted here look closely at the four films and examine their political, aesthetic, and historical implications. Contributors Herman Asselberghs, Sven Augustijnen, Filip De Boeck, Manon de Boer, Carles Guerra, T. J. Demos, Thomas Keenan, Sven Lütticken, Renzo Martens, Toma Muteba Luntumbue, Els Opsomer, Dirk Snauwaert, Hilde Van Gelder, Françoise Vergès.

Que peindre? / What to Paint? Adami, Arakawa, Buren Jean-François Lyotard Edited and introduced by Herman Parret, Epilogue by Gérald Sfez. Translations by Anthony Hudek, Vlad Ionescu and Peter W. Milne
Valerio Adami: Médée, 1984 / Shusaku Arakawa: On Air, 1973-74 / Daniel Buren: Seven Ballets in Manhattan, 1973
The most important writings of Lyotard on contemporary art in English for the first time Seven writings assembled in the context of the philosophy of art that Jean-François Lyotard developed in the nineteen-eighties, at the time of the Differend (1983) and of the ‘Kantian turn’ leading to the Lessons on the Analytic of the Sublime (1992), are here published for the first time in Eng lish translation. The texts focus on three artists with widely divergent aesthetic orientations: the colourist-draughtsman Valerio Adami, the conceptual metaphysician Shusaku Arakawa, and Daniel Buren, the ‘prag matist of the invisible’. These three protagonists share the notion that the interest in art does not lie in the simple denotation of a frame of refer ence, but in the connotations of material nuances, in flavours, in tones – in one word, the visual that is barely revealed in the anamnesis that guides the visible and provokes the essential inquietude of the aesthetic experience. What to Paint? Not reality or a ‘world’, nor a rich subjectivity, nor even the phantasms of dreams or ideals of being-together, but the act of painting itself, and, beyond the performance of the painter, the pres ence of matters, a presence that in Arakawa’s words is quite obviously blank, elusive.
herman parret is Professor Emeritus of Aesthetics and Philosophy of Language at the Institute of Philosophy, University of Leuven.
About the series Jean-François Lyotard: Writings on Contemporary Art and Artists This series collects all of Lyotard’s writing on contemporary art and artists. The volumes include the complete original French texts along with English translations on facing pages.

The wealth and patrimony of religious institutes During the French Revolution almost all monasteries and abbeys were suppressed and their possessions seized. Yet after the French Revolution many religious institutes were very successful in re-establishing them selves, sometimes accumulating large patrimonies, against the background of often hostile political forces. This book deals with the question of how the religious orders and congre gations rebuilt their patrimony, a necessary prerequisite for the growth of the number of religious, educational and charitable services. The authors discuss the (real or supposed) wealth, the financial structures, and the management and juridical foundations of the orders and congre gations in Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Ireland, and the United Kingdom from the late eighteenth century to the 1930s.

Third volume in the series Dynamics of Religious Reform Piety and Modernity examines the dynamics of religious reform from the point of view of piety and devotional life between 1780 and 1920 in Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia, Germany, and the Low Countries. The ‘long’ nineteenth century saw the introduction of devotional organi zations as a means of channeling popular religion. This era also witnes sed the translation and publication of devotional books, journals, and pamphlets on a massive scale. This edited volume explores the nature of pious reforms in such areas as liturgy, saint cults, pilgrimage, confrater nities, hymns, and Bible translation, with an emphasis on the changing patterns in religious expression at the collective and individual level, the growing influence of home missions, and the relations between piety and print culture. The interaction of piety and modernity is an important theme. While individual piety was often connected with the authority of church lead ers and confessional teaching, the long nineteenth century gave rise to new forms of individualism, involving grassroots initiatives. This volume offers a rich overview of a range of interrelated national practices con cerning piety in the nineteenth century.

A must-read for academics, practitioners and policymakers dealing with legal aspects of geographic data The increasing availability and use of geographic data in today’s society give rise to many legal barriers and pitfalls, which are often unknown to or underestimated by policymakers and stakeholders. Geographic Data and the Law stands at the forefront of current research on a topic of increasing urgency in the geographic information field: the legal challenges relating to spatial data information (sdi). The expert authors highlight current and emerging practices and trends in tackling these challenges, and showcase how law and policy can be used pro actively to stimulate the use of geographic data. In a three-part presentation, the book deals with open licensing and data lifecycle regulation; limitations on the availability of geographic data based on privacy, liability, and national security; and the interplay between the public and private sectors on the market for geographic data and informa tion products. Bringing together contributions from knowledgeable and well-known scholars and practitioners in the field, this book is must-read material for academics, practitioners, and policymakers dealing with any aspect of geographic data.
An in-depth analysis of Belgium’s public finance in the recent past Prior to the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008 Belgium’s fiscal bal ances and debt ratios seemed to be on a firm consolidation path. Today, however, Belgium is facing a major budgetary challenge, albeit to some extent lesser than that of other European countries. A proper understand ing of the current situation and the design of the most appropriate policy response always benefit from an in-depth analysis of the recent past. This book offers that closer look at the evolution of public finance in Belgium over the decade 2000–2010. The Return of the Deficit presents a collection of original essays written by the best public finance scholars in Belgium. It covers Belgium’s macroeconomic environment, its budgetary policy, changes to the tax system and social security, the evolution of public expenditure, debt manage ment, and fiscal federalism. This is the seventh volume in the authoritative History of Public Finance in Belgium published under the auspices of the Belgian Institute of Public Finance. It is introduced with a foreword by Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council. Contributors K. Algoed (Office of the Minister of Budget, Flanders), B. Cantillon (University of Antwerp), J.

The Science of the Soul The Commentary Tradition on Aristotle’s De anima, c. 1260 – c. 1360
De rationibus quibus homines docti artem Latine colloquendi et ex tempore dicendi saeculis XVI et XVII coluerunt
Sander W. de Boer
Terence O. Tunberg
sander de boer is Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Groningen (Faculty of Philosophy). He works mainly on the history of philosophical psychology.
The transformation of the science of the soul between 1260 and 1360 Aristotle’s highly influential work on the soul, entitled De anima, formed part of the core curriculum of medieval universities and was discussed intensively. It covers a range of topics in philosophical psychology, such as the relationship between mind and body and the nature of abstract thought. However, there is a key difference in scope between the socalled ‘science of the soul’, based on Aristotle, and modern philosophical psychology. This book starts from a basic premise accepted by all medieval commen tators, namely that the science of the soul studies not just human beings but all living beings. As such, its methodology and approach must also apply to plants and animals. The Science of the Soul discusses how philoso phers, from Thomas Aquinas to Pierre d’Ailly, dealt with the difficult task of giving a unified account of life and traces the various stages in the transformation of the science of the soul between 1260 and 1360. The emerging picture is that of a gradual disruption of the unified approach to the soul, which will ultimately lead to the emergence of psychology as a separate discipline.
Study of conversational Latin and ex tempore expression in Latin The use of Latin for conversation and ex tempore discourse was a signifi cant element in the culture of learned people in the humanist age and the early modern era. This book explores that phenomenon and the considerable amount of evidence pertaining to it in the primary sources written in the period. The author takes into account the use of spoken Latin both inside and outside the academic world. Examining disputes over pronunciation and different views about ex tempore eloquence among Latin writers active in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the author shows that these ’conversations’ are not unrelated to much better known discussions and debates about the nature of Latin prose style and eloquence in an age when Latin was no one’s native language. The book thus reveals that understanding the role of conversation and ex tempore expression in Latin helps us to understand the early modern phenomenon of NeoLatin in general. All texts in this volume are in Latin.
