Stefan Klein Alles en niets
over de schoonheid van het heelal
Bestaat het niets? Zijn ruimte en tijd slechts een illusie? Is onze geest überhaupt in staat om ruimte te bevatten? En waarom zijn wij op aarde? Natuurkunde van de 21ste eeuw verandert ons perspectief van de wereld en van onszelf. Wetenschapsjournalist en bestsellerauteur Stefan Klein zet dit haarfijn uiteen in zijn meeslepende en tegelijkertijd poëtische boek. Hij traceert de schoonheid van het onbekende, beginnend bij een roosbloesem. Hij legt de onvoorspelbaarheid van de wereld uit door een...

Berry Collewijn Tango van de ikken
voice dialogue in relaties
"Krijg inzicht in jezelf met Voice Dialogue Heb jij al kennisgemaakt met al je ikken? Gekke vraag? Nee hoor! Ieder mens heeft verschillende kanten, subpersonen, ikken, die allemaal met andere ogen naar de wereld kijken. Dat is het uitgangspunt van Voice Dialogue, een theorie die veel gebruikt wordt om inzicht in jezelf te krijgen. En die ook heel goed gebruikt kan worden om op een heel nieuwe manier naar relaties te kijken: je neemt je ikken immers mee in je relatie met de ander. Die ikken bepalen...

Han Peeters The new constitution
according to Osism
After 5,000 years of feudal rule, a new constitution is needed. The helm must be turned around completely if we are to save ourselves from destruction. Every day, people watch the news showing the injustices and feel helpless to change it. Although convinced we are on the wrong track, we question what can be done. Although the elite make up only 1% of the population, they have control, because money is power. The other 99% have compassion for their fellow man, but are not able to do anything about...

A new sense of the past
the scholarship of Biondo Flavio 1392–1463
Reappraisal of the pioneering humanist scholar Biondo Flavio. During his lifetime the historian and antiquarian Biondo Flavio (1392- 1463) struggled to obtain recognition as a major contributor to the humanistic movement of the fifteenth century. Throughout the Renaissance, fellow Italian scholars far too often condemned rather than endorsed his scholarly works. His troublesome career and mixed reputation among his peers stand in stark contrast with the highly innovative character of his learning,...

Katrien Hendrickx The origins of banana-fibre cloth in the Ryukyus, Japan
The Japanese word bashôfu literally means 'banana-fibre cloth'. Both the cloth and the clothing made from it are now considered important constituents of Okinawan identity. This special trait of Okinawan material culture was brought to attention by the Japanese Folk Craft Movement in the 1930s. After years of decline following World War II, the weaving and use of bashôfu saw a revival that accelerated after the return of Okinawa to Japan in 1972 and still continues. Although today bashôfu receives...

Deleuze and psychoanalysis
philosophical essays on Deleuze's debate with psychoanalysis
Gilles Deleuze is among the twentieth century's most important philosophers of difference. The style of his extended oeuvre is so extremely dense and cryptic that reading and appreciating it require an unusual degree of openness and a willingness to enter a complicated but extremely rich system of thought. The abundant debates with and references to a variety of authors of many different domains; the sophisticated conceptual framework; the creation of new concepts and the injection of existing concepts...

The debate about colour naming in 19th century German philology
selected translations
The Debate about Colour Naming in 19th Century German Philology is comprised of eleven essays illustrating the intensity of interest in colour naming and categorisation that arose in nineteenth century Germany. The themes of each chapter vary in their emphasis on particular theories which lie behind the 'testing' of the colour-naming capacities of 'primitive people' throughout the world, and which move towards new variants of the doctrine of 'evolution.' This selection of work directs itself towards...

Ph. Van Haute | Tomas Geyskens A non-oedipal psychoanalysis?
a clinical anthropology of hysteria in the works of Freud an Lacan
The different psychopathologic syndromes show in an exaggerated and caricatural manner the basic structures of human existence. These structures not only characterize psychopathology, but they also determine the highest forms of culture. This is the credo of Freud's anthropology. This anthropology implies that humans are beings of the in-between. The human being is essentially tied up between pathology and culture, and 'normativity' cannot be defined in a theoretically convincing manner. The authors...

Aulularia and other inversions of Plautus
First critical edition of Burmeister's newly discovered Aulularia. Joannes Burmeister of Lüneburg (1576-1638) was among the greatest Neo-Latin poets of the German Baroque. His masterpieces, now mostly lost, are Christian 'inversions' of the Classical Roman comedies of Plautus. With only minimal changes in language and none in meter, each transforms Plautus's pagan plays into comedies based on biblical themes. Fascinating in their own right, they also bring back to attention forgotten genres of Renaissance...

"Cui dono lepidum novum libellum?"
dedicating Latin works and motets in the sixteenth century; proceedings of the International conference held at the Academia Belgica, Rome, 18-20 August 2005
During the sixteenth century, the traditional act of dedicating a text took on a new meaning due to the wider dissemination of the printed book. As the dedication and other paratexts thus became an almost indispensable part of the publication, they merit careful examination by those who study the presentation and impact of any printed work in its context. Paratexts bridge the gap between the outside World of the reading public and the enclosed world of the book, and often present biographical information...
