Thomas Coomans Life Inside the cloister
understanding monastic architecture: tradition, reformation, adaptive reuse
Sacred architecture as reality and metaphor in secularised Western society. Christian monasteries and convents, built throughout Europe for the best part of 1,500 years, are now at a crossroads. This study attempts to understand the sacred architecture of monasteries as a process of the tangible and symbolic organisation of space and time for religious communities. Despite the weight of seemingly immutable monastic tradition, architecture has contributed to developing specific religious identities...

Jane C. Judge The United States of Belgium
the story of the first Belgian revolution
New and comprehensive insights into the seminal events that shaped Belgian identity In 1790, between the birth of America (1776) and the creation of the French National Assembly (1789), nine provinces nestled between the French and Dutch borders declared themselves a new free and independent country: the United States of Belgium. Before then, the provinces had been part of the vast Austrian Habsburg Empire ruled by Joseph II. In 1789 revolutionaries from Brussels to Ghent to Namur recruited a grass-roots...

Petrus Thomae Petri Thomae Quaestiones de ente

The Quaestiones de ente of Peter Thomae, composed at Barcelona ca. 1325, is the longest medieval work devoted to the problem of being as well as the most systematic. The work is divided into three parts: the concept of being, the attributes of being, and the descent...

Maud Gonne Contrebande littéraire et culturelle à la Belle Époque
Le "hard labour" de Georges Eekhoud entre Anvers, Paris et Bruxelles
ision méconnue des relations interculturelles en Belgique à la Belle Époque 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...

Thamy Ayouch Psychanalyse et hybridité
genre, colonialité, subjectivations
Le discours psychanalytique aux sujets non majoritaires, minorisés et altérisés Le genre, la langue et l'ethnicité sont souvent les catégories aveugles de certains discours psychanalytiques prétendant se déployer depuis la position, non située, de l'universel. La psychanalyse n'a toutefois pas pour vocation d'assigner des normes, ni au genres et sexualités, ni aux différences ethniques et culturelles. En posant la question du rapport du discours psychanalytique aux sujets non majoritaires,...

Stephan Dusil Wissensordnungen des Rechts im Wandel
Päpstlicher Jurisdiktionsprimat und Zölibat zwischen 1000 und 1215
Die Studie untersucht die Ordnung des mittelalterlichen Rechtswissens in vorgratianischen Sammlungen, dem Decretum Gratiani sowie den Glossen und Summen zum Dekret. Im Mittelpunkt steht also das kirchenrechtliche Wissen, das sich zwischen 1000 und 1215 grundlegend änderte: Während kirchliche Rechtsregeln um 1000 in Kanonessammlungen linear gespeichert waren, wurden sie im 12. Jahrhundert zu komplexem Rechtswissen miteinander verknüpft. Auf Basis einer umfassenden Auswertung der handschriftlichen...

Milena Minkova Florilegium recentioris Latinitatis

A comprehensive critical anthology of Neo-Latin would thus be useful in the classroom, both in secondary school and on university level, as well as for independent scholars. The present volume is comprised...
