Josquin des Prez and His Musical Legacy An Introductory Guide Willem Elders
A comprehensive guide for early music lovers and performers Josquin des Prez and His Musical Legacy is the most up-to-date contribution to the research on one of the most important and internationally famous composers of the Renaissance. This monograph offers factual information on the composer as well as insights into his 16th-century and modern reception, a survey of the sources of his music, and a discussion of the thorny issue of authorship. Willem Elders, one of the most distinguished scholars of Josquin’s music, also discusses the influence of Gregorian chant as a source of inspiration and explains the various aspects of Josquin’s symbolic language. Each individual work (including some of those in the old Josquin edition now considered inauthentic) receives a short discussion of relevant contextual aspects and interesting musical features. Ranges and lengths are given for each work. The style is adapted to the professional musicologist as well as to the ‘music lover’ and performer.
willem elders is Professor Emeritus of Music History before 1600 at Utrecht University and General Editor of the New Josquin Edition.
‘This book is indispensable in the libraries of musicologists, music lovers and musicians and they should keep it close at hand! With every performance or listening to a work of Josquin they will want to spontaneously grab this publication.’ Ignace Bossuyt, Professor Emeritus in Musicology, University of Leuven Also of Interest

Indispensable pocket guide for music theorists and students of 18th-century music This compendium provides a systematic list and description of cadence types in 18th-century music. It includes Latin, Italian, French, German and English terminology, both from historical and contemporary sources. For each cadence type, the compendium presents a short definition, a textbook example, and some basic information on its historical context. As such, it is indispensable for music theorists and students of 18thcentury music. ‘The [Leuven Cadence Compendium] project represents the first systematic attempt to provide a comprehensive compendium of concepts and terminology associated with cadence, a project from which the scholarly community should benefit enormously.’ David Sears in Eighteenth-Century Music By the same author

Johann Sebastian Bach’s Art of Fugue Performance Practice Based on German Eighteenth-Century Theory Ewald Demeyere
A practical guide to the performance of the Art of Fugue With the Art of Fugue Bach delivered a polyphonic composition for key board of unprecedented proportions and complexity. Notwithstanding the vast existing literature on this brilliant work, a performer does not often find answers in it to practical questions such as ‘Why is this note not flatted?’ or ‘How can one make this peculiar voice-leading work during performance?’ This book by a leading Bach performer is designed to fill this void and provide a practical guide to the performance of the Art of Fugue. The first part contains an overview of four important Baroque topics related to the concept and performance of the Art of Fugue (rheto ric, metre, syntax, and keyboard technique). The second part basically demonstrates, with reference to the first four Contrapuncti, how the back ground presented in the first part often enables possible explanations for both text-critical and conceptual issues to be formulated. The final purpose is to achieve as eloquent a performance as possible of these pieces.
ewald demeyere (www.ewalddemeyere.be) is a harpsichordist, conductor, theorist and Professor at the Royal Conservatory Antwerp.

One Foot in the Palace The Habsburg Court of Brussels and the Politics of Access in the Reign of Albert and Isabella, 1598–1621 Dries Raeymaekers. Translated by John R.J. Eyck
The splendour and enticement of the Archdukes’ Court in Brussels The Habsburg Court of Brussels remains one of the few early modern princely courts that have never been thoroughly studied by historians. Yet it offers a unique case, particularly with regard to the first decades of the seventeenth century. Once home to the Dukes of Burgundy, the ancient palace on the Coudenberg hill in Brussels became the principal residence of the Habsburg governors in the Low Countries and, in the period 1598–1621, that of Archduke Albert and his wife, the Spanish Infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia. Eager to reassert the dynasty’s authority in these parts, the Archdukes ruled the Habsburg Netherlands as sovereign princes in their own right. Based on the author’s prize-winning dissertation, this book vividly brings to life the splendour of their court and unravels the goals and ambitions of the men and women who lived and worked in the palace.

Regionalism and Modernity Architecture in Western Europe 1914 – 1940 Leen Meganck, Linda Van Santvoort, Jan De Maeyer (eds)

The complex and shifting relation between regionalism and modernity With its search for purity, honesty, modesty, and ‘fitness of purpose’, the late 19th and early 20th century concept of architectural regionalism is seminal to the modern movement. In later historiography, however, regio nalism in Europe was neglected and even labeled ‘backward’. The origins of this drastic change of perception can be traced to the 1930s, when regionalism as a positive form gradually turned into a ‘closed’ form of regionalism, a folding back on one’s own region as a defence mechanism in an economically and politically turbulent decade. In this book internationally renowned researchers investigate the relation between regionalism and modernity in the architecture of Western Europe between the two World Wars, with a focus on Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and Great Britain. They demonstrate that regionalism cannot be separated from modernity, but is in fact a way of dealing with modernity and its contradictions. Rather than rejecting regionalism as an anti-modern phenomenon, the book’s contributors show that we should interpret regionalism as a striving for continuity within modernity. Contributors H.

Marie Elisabeth Belpaire Gender en macht in het literaire veld, 1900 – 1940 Geraldine Reymenants
De positie en invloed van Marie Elisabeth Belpaire in een literaire mannenwereld Naar aanleiding van haar 95ste verjaardag schreef de Vlaamse kunst criticus Jozef Muls dat Marie Elisabeth Belpaire ‘steeds de vrouw van goede smaak was gebleven. Zij zou haar wezen nooit ontsierd hebben door ambities of werk die niet van haar kunnen waren.’ Hoewel bedoeld als eerbetoon, deed hij haar met die woorden onrecht aan. Marie Elisa beth Belpaire was immers een van de weinige vrouwen die er in de eerste decennia van de twintigste eeuw in slaagde om de dominantie van mannelijke auteurs, redacteurs en critici in het literaire veld te door breken. Als eigenares en financier van het gezaghebbende literair-cultu rele tijdschrift Dietsche Warande & Belfort oefende ze een sterke invloed uit op de ideologische en redactionele lijn ervan. Ze werd de vertrouwens persoon van tal van (katholieke) schrijvers en kunstenaars, politici, pro fessoren en religieuzen, en verwierf, mede door dat uitgebreide net werk, een niet onaanzienlijke macht in de katholieke Vlaamse (literaire) wereld. Aan de hand van een analyse van de positie van Marie Elisabeth Belpaire in het tijdschrift Dietsche Warande & Belfort en in de oorlogskrant De Belgische Standaard biedt Geraldine Reymenants in dit boek inzicht in het begin-twintigste-eeuwse discours over vrouwelijk schrijverschap en in de gegenderde machtsmechanismen die in het toenmalige literaire veld werkzaam waren.
geraldine reymenants studeerde geschiedenis (Universiteit Gent) en vrouwenstudies (Universiteit Antwerpen en Universiteit Utrecht). Momenteel werkt ze als stafmedewerker bij het Departement internationaal Vlaanderen (Vlaamse Gemeenschap).

Heterogeneous Objects Intermedia and Photography after Modernism Raphaël Pirenne, Alexander Streitberger (eds)
raphaël pirenne is a postdoctoral researcher at the Université catholique de Louvain (ucl) and editor of the art journal sic. alexander streitberger is Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art History at the Université catholique de Louvain (ucl) and director of the Lieven Gevaert Research Centre for Photography.
Exploring the influence of other media on contemporary photography Heterogeneous Objects provides various essays that explore the encounter of photography with other media since the 1960s. The essays offer new ways of thinking about photography beyond modernist notions of medium specificity and autonomy based upon the idea that a photograph does not rely on a coherent system of codes but is almost always encountered as a fragmented, partial object. Addressing recent debates in art history and photography theory, film studies, and media theory, the contributions cover a broad array of approaches, relating photography to issues of the panorama, surveillance, sculpture, transformation and processuality, and the development of new media categories. Rather than conceiving of photography as a medium, the aim is to reconsider the photograph as a historically, theoretically, and culturally embedded heterogeneous object that is always related to, in contact with, or shaped by other media.

Aïm Deüelle Lüski and Horizontal Photography Ariella Azoulay
Exploring radically new possibilities for contemporary photography by an internationally leading theorist This book is the product of a unique collaboration between Israeli artist and philosopher Aïm Deüelle Lüski and visual culture theorist Ariella Azoulay. In their longstanding working relationship, they research how to theorize the structure of the contemporary scopic regime and open a space for its civil transformation. On this occasion, Azoulay interprets a particular series of cameras built by Deüelle Lüski, along with photo graphs taken by these cameras. Unlike conventional cameras and their vertical photography, Deüelle Lüski’s cameras seek to generate new sets of relations between the camera and the world. Azoulay’s text unfolds four different ‘short histories’ of problems in photography, each of which deconstructs what otherwise might appear as a coherent photographic regime, yet which is shown to be based solely on principles of sovereignty and possession. Through and with Deüelle Lüski’s project Azoulay seeks to ‘potentialize’ the history of photography, that is, to recover long for gotten, un-materialized possibilities. The book contains 100 images and a conversation between the author and the artist.
ariella azoulay is an Israeli art curator, film-maker and theorist of photography and visual culture. She is Assistant Professor of Comparative Literature and Modern Culture and Media at Brown University and former Director of the Photo-Lexic Research Group at the Minerva Humanities Center, Tel Aviv University. aïm deüelle lüski is an Israeli artist and philosopher who invents cameras, each conceived especially for a particular phenomenon or event to be photographed at a specific historical moment.

L’assassinat de l’expérience par la peinture, Monory / The Assassination of Experience by Painting, Monory Jean-François Lyotard
Final volume
Edited and introduced by Herman Parret. Epilogue by Sarah Wilson Final volume in the series Jean-François Lyotard: Writings on Contemporary Art and Artists Lyotard met the French painter Jacques Monory in 1972, and the text on him published at that time was the first that Lyotard dedicated to contemporary art since Discourse, Figure. Lyotard’s interest in the plastic arts thus fits fully within the setting of his political preoccupations. The artistprotagonist stages the recurring motifs that fascinate Lyotard: the scene of the crime, the revolver, the woman, the victim, glaciers, deserts, stars. The atmosphere of the essays on Monory is ‘Californian’. Monory’s imaginary repertoire goes well beyond the masters of modernity and is in line rather with a ‘modern contemporary surrealism’. Both Lyotard and Monory live the ‘dilemma of Americanisation’, the America represented by cinema, fashion, novels, music. It is in this atmosphere that Lyotard and Monory will finally evoke their supreme experience of difference: desire and fear, exultation and a profound malaise. The plastic universe of Monory and the aesthetic meditations of Lyotard are in perfect symbiosis. Sarah Wilson’s epilogue thoroughly outlines both the history of a friendship and, at the same time, the intellectual and artistic climate of the nineteen-seventies.

International experts reflecting on psychoanalysis in relation to religion and morality In this volume renowned experts in psychoanalysis reflect on the relationship between psychoanalysis and religion, in particular presenting various controversial interpretations of the question if and to what extent monotheism semantically and structurally fits psychoanalytic insights. Some essays augment traditional religious critiques of Freudianism with later religio-philosophical theories on, for example, femininity. Others explore the relation between psychopathology and morality from the Freudian premise that psychopathology shows in an excessive way aspects or mechanisms of the human psyche that constitute our subjec tivity, and as such also our moral capacities and behaviour.

Stories and experiences of Chinese migrants This collection of essays by Li Minghuan, an early new migrant-scholar herself, documents the extraordinary story of Chinese transnational migra tion. The book represents over two decades of untiring empirical field research, going where the migrants go – the Netherlands, France, Canada – and where they come from – Wenzhou in Zhejiang, Mingxi in Fujian – in order to observe, and to listen, with an unwaveringly sympathetic eye and ear, to what they, their families, their neighbours, their brokers, and their local officials have to say. Coupled with the historian’s craft of pain staking archival research, these village and community case studies not only cover an astounding geographical orbit of sending and receiving areas, but also a broad diversity and range of migrant types and situations both historical and contemporary, from illegal and refugee migration, to official labor export, to the migration of students and professionals.

It represents over two decades of untiring empirical field research, going where the migrants go – the Netherlands, France, Canada – and where they come from – Wenzhou in Zhejiang, Mingxi in Fujian – in order to observe, and to listen, with an unwaveringly sympathetic eye and ear, to what they, their families, their neighbours, their brokers, and their local officials have to say.

Seeing
Between the early 19th century and the 1930s more than ten million Chinese coolies were shipped abroad to the European outposts and colonies of the tropical world. This great wave of Chinese mobility drew to a halt in the early 1950s after the midcentury years of war and revolution. However, since 1978, when China’s reform policy lifted the ban on migration, Chinese subjects from the People’s Republic have been on the move again. This time, the movement has been directed largely toward Europe and the western world itself.

Beyond Federal Dogmatics The Influence of EU Law on Belgian Constitutional Case Law Regarding Federalism Stef Feyen
stef feyen is Fellow with the Research Foundation – Flanders (fwo), affiliated with the Institute for Constitutional Law (University of Leuven) and promovendus with the Ius Commune Research School (Maastricht University).
Rethinking the relationship between EU law and Belgian national law The relationship between EU law and national constitutional law, inclu ding constitutional law in federalism matters, has been subject to an ongoing scholarly debate. This monograph contributes to this debate in two ways. The author argues for an approach to constitutional law that goes beyond the classic – coined dogmatic – understanding of constitu tional case law regarding federalism as expounded in Belgian academia. Building on that basis, he sets out to rethink the framework within which the connection between EU law and national constitutional law can be understood. The analysis delves into the relationship (and sometimes tension) between ‘rule-of-law’ values (which may serve as checks upon instrumental forms of reasoning) and the toolbox deployed in constitu tional court case law to accommodate several rather pragmatic needs. ‘In this book the author confirms his reputation as an outstanding scholar. He combines a thorough knowledge of the law with a strong familiarity with legal theoretical literature.

Spatial Data Infrastructures at Work Analysing the Spatial Enablement of Public Sector Processes Ezra Dessers
Must-read for professionals dealing with sdi and spatial enablement Spatial data, also known as geospatial data or geographic information, identifies the geographic location of natural and constructed features and boundaries on Earth, and has become increasingly important in various administrative practices. In order to facilitate access, use, and sharing of spatial data among organisations, information is brought together in clustered initiatives known as Spatial Data Infrastructures (sdis). In Spatial Data Infrastructures at Work, Ezra Dessers introduces spatial enablement as a key concept to describe the realisation of sdi objectives in the context of individual public sector processes. Drawing on four years of research, Dessers argues that it has become essential, even unavoidable, to manage and (re)design inter-organisational process chains in order to further advance the role of sdis as an enabling platform for a spatially enabled society. Detailed case studies illustrate that the process he describes is the setting in which one can see the sdi at work. This book is must-read material for academics, practitioners, and policymakers dealing with sdi and spatial enablement. By extension, the book will also be of great interest to anyone confronted with societal issues that call for an integrated approach, implying indepth cooperation between multiple organisations.
ezra dessers is a Senior Researcher at the Centre for Sociological Research of the University of Leuven.

Interdisciplinary study of pagan culture from late antiquity to the emergent Renaissance In this volume the persistence, resurgence, threat, fascination, and re pression of various forms of pagan culture are studied in an interdisci plinary perspective from late antiquity to the emergent Renaissance. Contributions deal with the survival of pagan beliefs and practices, as well as with the Christianization of pagan rural populations or with the different strategies of oppression of pagan beliefs. The authors examine problems raised by the encounter with pagan cultures outside the Mus lim world and show how philosophers contrived to ‘save’ the great philosophers and poets from ancient culture notwithstanding their paga nism. The contributors also study the fascination of classic ‘pagan’ culture among friars during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and the imitation of pagan models of virtue and mythology in Renaissance poetry.

The Mirror of Minds or John Barclay’s Icon Animorum Translated by Thomas May (1631). Edited by Mark Riley
The portrait of John Barclay which first appeared in Argenis, Editio secunda, Parisiis, Sumptibus Nicolaj Buon, 1622. The distich by H. Grotius says: ‘Scottish by race, French by birth, this is the man / Who taught Rome to speak in the Roman tongue.’ Photo courtesy of the Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley, California.
Original Latin text with English translation on facing pages In this essay from 1614 the Neo-Latin poet, translator, and commentator John Barclay describes the manners and mores of his European contem poraries. He derives the sources of an individual’s peculiarities of beha vior and temperament from the ‘genius’ – the individual character created by each person’s upbringing, time of life, and profession. Barclay likewise describes each nation’s genius, its national character, and provides some of the geographical and historical background from which he claims this genius arose. The essay is a valuable study, not only for the illustration it offers of a pre-Romantic view of Europe, but for a glimpse into the con tinuities that mark European civilization. The introduction describes the Classical and Renaissance background to Barclay’s work, with a detailed biography of the author. The Latin text reproduces Barclay’s first edition, with the necessary corrections. The English translation (1631) is that of Thomas May, a skillful translator of Vergil, Lucan, and other classical authors, as well as a playwright in the manner of Ben Jonson. The book features illustrations of selected pages from early editions of the text, and includes contemporary portraits of Barclay and May.

Platonic Inspirations Plato and Platonism in Antiquity and Beyond
Elachista La dottrina dei minimi nell’Epicureismo
Jan Opsomer, Mark Beck (eds)
Francesco Verde
The most important aspects of Plato’s thought and influence on subsequent thinkers Although Plato is to this day one of the most widely read authors in the world, it is only in recent years that the study of his influence has begun in earnest. This volume focuses in a broad way on Plato and the Platonic tradi tion. While no single volume can ever hope to do justice to such a monumental author, Platonic Inspirations brings together a selection of original contributions, by some of the most eminent scholars in the field today. Each chapter engages the reader in an important aspect of Plato’s thought and influence on subsequent thinkers. This volume will be of use to all scholars and students who are interested in Plato and Platonic thought in anti quity and beyond. For a list of contributing authors (18) go to www.lup.be
The first monograph entirely devoted to the Epicurean doctrine of minimal parts The Epicurean doctrine of minimal parts (ta elachista) is a crucial aspect of Epicurus’s philosophy and a turning point compared to the ancient atomism of Leucippus and Democritus. This book consists of three chapters: a philological and theoretical analysis of the primary sour ces (Epicurus and Lucretius), a reconstruction of its likely historical background (Xenocrates, Aristotle, Dio dorus Cronus), and an examination of the development of this theory within the philosophical school of Epicu rus. The examination of ancient sources, combined with an analysis of the secondary literature, reveals the sig nificant role played by minimal parts within the Epicu rean science of nature.

Neo-Latin Commentaries and the Management of Knowledge (1400 –1700)
The Early Modern Cultures of Neo-Latin Drama Philip Ford, Andrew Taylor (eds)
Karl Enenkel, Henk Nellen (eds)
Profound study of one of the most important genres within Humanist scholarship Between 1400 and 1700 the political, religious, intellec tual, and geographic landscape was profoundly changed by the Reformation, Humanism, the rise of empirical science, the invention of printing technology, and the discovery of the New World. The late medieval and early modern intellectuals felt a need to respond to the chan ges and embarked on a scholarly programme of a quality and extent hitherto unknown: the whole body of the literature of antiquity, including the Bible, was to be reedited and furnished with commentaries. This book sheds light on the various ways in which classical authors and the Bible were commented on, the types of commentary, the commenting strategies that were used, the various kinds of knowledge that were collected, created, and transmitted. For a list of contributing authors (13) and the table of content go to www.lup.be.
The vitality and power of expression of Neo-Latin Drama The essays in this collection illustrate the vitality of NeoLatin drama in early modern Europe, arising from its combination of classical models with deep-rooted ver nacular traditions. While the plays were often composed in a school or university, the dramatists seldom neglec ted to appeal to a broad audience, including non-Latin ists. Neo-Latin drama in all its forms offered a freedom of expression and form which is rare in other Renaissance literary genres.

Negentiende editie van een interdisciplinaire lessenreeks We beseffen dat tijd voorbijgaat omdat we kunnen nadenken over wat is geweest. Kunnen stilstaan bij wat is gebeurd, genereert tegelijk de moge lijkheid te denken aan wat zal komen. Daarom creëren we monumenten, daarom doceren we geschiedenis. Architecten en historici lichten dat in dit boek toe. Ze bevestigen wat Faulkner schreef: ‘The past is never dead. It’s not even past’. Wat in het verleden is gebeurd, drukt zijn stempel op het heden. Tijd blijkt ook relatief. We denken tijdsverloop in mensenmaat. De wetenschap ontdekte hoe futiel de tijd van mensen is in het licht van de tijd van het universum en van de evolutie. Toch blijkt de impact van mensen op de natuur ingrijpend. Niet alleen een mensenleven is fragiel, ook de biodiversiteit op onze blauwe planeet blijkt uiterst kwetsbaar. Daarom lijkt het de opdracht van deze tijd duurzaamheid te creëren. De thema’s in deze lessenreeks kruisen elkaar en zijn complementair. Tegelijk vormt deze bundel een tijdsdocument. In de lessen weerspiegelt zich de tijdsgeest, met zijn angst en hoop.
