‎Summary In the study of the ancient world, Babylon can be considered as the most impressive representation, historically, archaeologically, and in literature, of urbanism in the Near East. This first example of an urban centre and its cultural heritage ? both tangible and intangible ? provides a focal point for discussions of historical and cultural memory in the region. The eleven contributions gathered here draw together multidisciplinary research into Babylonian culture, exploring the epistemic foundations, contacts, resilience, and cultural transmission of the city and its milieu from ancient times up until the modern day. Through this approach, this volume is able to support conversations concerning the historical and cultural memory of Babylon and promote a dialogue that cuts across, and unites, both cultures and academic disciplines.

‎Summary Comment les Grecs et les Romains ont-ils repr sent le singe, cet animal qui, dans la culture occidentale des deux derniers si cles, a surtout incarn de nouvelles possibilit s de repenser la relation entre les hommes et les non-humains ? En dehors du paradigme volutionniste labor par Darwin, sans les donn es de la g n tique et le dispositif disciplinaire de la primatologie, les textes anciens ont construit d'autres repr sentations culturelles du singe sans le concevoir comme un cousin ou un parent proche avec lequel nous aurions un anc tre commun. travers une analyse philologique rigoureuse des textes anciens, des trait s savants de la zoologie et la m decine grecques aux laborations symboliquement plus complexes du th tre comique ou de la fable, cette tude propose une analyse approfondie de la repr sentation discursive des primates non humains dans la culture antique. Des questions essentielles pour la compr hension des cultures anciennes - de l'anthropomorphisme des animaux au d bat sur l'intelligence des vivants en passant par les laborations autour de l'importante cat gorie de la mim sis - sont abord es selon une approche d'anthropologie historique.

‎Jean Colin (1881-1961) is a Brussels painter that is no longer known today because he often followed the way to realism. This way of painting, which while he was alive fully assured him success, has passed fashion and no longer draws art lovers. But Colin also left high level impressionist works that have no longer been shown since his death, works he painted for his own pleasure, conscious as he was that his conservative customers couldn't appreciate them. After Colin's death, most of his impressionist works were spread out between the members of his family-in-law or bordered in the museum reserves. This ?tribute? is the amazing story of what happened to Jean Colin and to his hidden masterpieces. The introduction essay is by Eric Min, biographer of James Ensor, Rik Wouters and Henri Evenepoel.

‎Overzicht 40 jaar beeldend werk, met bijdragen van Marc Ruyters, Eric Rinckhout en Koen Leemans. Kris Fierens ( 1957) gebruikt het karakter van een voorstudie of een schets als een volwaarding ding. Of in hun mogelijkheid imiteren ze het karakter van een voorstudie. Realiteit en emotie bereiken een virtueel nulpunt. De gebaren of gestes die hij hierbij stelt worden gewoon de 'objets trouv s'. Het object 'an sich' is nooit aanwezig. Het is de meegenomen materie die hem in staat stelt om zijn droom te redden. Sporen van iets dat zich nog moet voltrekken. Waarvan nu reeds een verdwijnende herinnering kan worden vastgehouden. Overview of 40 years fine arts, with contributions from Marc Ruyters, Eric Rinckhout and Koen Leemans. Kris Fierens ( 1957) uses the character of a preliminary study or a sketch as an enduring thing. Or, in their possibility they imitate the character of a preliminary study. Reality and emotion reach a virtual zero point. The gestures that he makes simply become the 'objets trouv s'. The object 'on his own' is never present. It's the included matter that enables him to save his dream. Traces of something that still needs to happen. Of which a disappearing memory can already be hold.‎

‎Frans Van Roosmaelen - Andoversium‎

‎, Stockmans, 2019 Hardcover 184 PAGES tekst nederlands. . ISBN 9789077207673.‎

‎Frans Van Roosmaelen Living greedily, painting generously ?Knallen? (to let it rip) is an expression Frans Van Roosmaelen liked. In his paintings he allowed colours and strokes to rip with outright joy, in his life he went looking eagerly for extreme experiences. To his inner circle he would admit that he needed to be charged, certainly sexually, to be able to paint. Absence of such tension had repercussions for his art. Greedily he would explore the bleak realms of life which generously bore witness in his drawings, paintings and collages. Frans Van Roosmaelen needed the high to be creative. What he sucked from life he gave back in restless generous works of art, charged with ecstasy and violence, primal urges, but also great myths of life and death.‎

‎Photographer Marc T. left Antwerp for London at a very young age, where he started working as an assistant for Cecil Beaton, known for his fashion photos and celebrity portraits. After Beaton's death in 1980, Marc T. worked as a freelancer for several British magazines such as 'The Face' and 'New Musical Express', and he also got a contract with Warner Bros UK. Afterwards he went to Italy where he worked for the "Corriere Della Sera" and became friends with columnist/editor, Alessio Gaggioli, who provides the epilogue in this book. After a long absence of more than 30 years, Marc T. returned to Belgium. 'MOMENTS' is primarily a reaction to that return to Belgium. Because he has not maintained any contact during his absence, he feels like a foreigner in his own country. People who continue to live in the same place do not see the big changes around them in the same way as someone who has been away for years. And he had to do something with that. Marc T. started traveling through Belgium, where only the rediscovery mattered at that point in time. But without any nostalgia. It was certainly not a search for a loss. Every photo, every moment in this book tells its own story, captured by the eye of a local stranger ...‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 175 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503587035.‎

‎Summary The Versus Eporedienses (Verses from Ivrea), written around the year 1080 and attributed to a certain Wido, is a highly fascinating elegiac love poem celebrating worldly pleasures in an age usually associated with contemptus mundi. One of the poem's intriguing features, its extensive use of the Latin classics, especially of Ovid, makes it a precursor of the poetry of the so-called twelfth-century renaissance. In this first book-length study of the poem, the author provides a historical contextualisation, an edition and translation, a verse-by-verse commentary, a detailed analysis of the classical sources and a discussion of its similarities with contemporary and later medieval poetry.

‎Pre-Christian Religions of the North. Research and Reception, Volume II: From c. 1830 to the Present‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xxiii + 635 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:9 b/w, 10 col., 4 tables b/w., 2 Musical Examples, Languages: English, Old Norse. ISBN 9782503568805.‎

‎Summary Over more than a thousand years since pre-Christian religions were actively practised, European - and later contemporary - society has developed a fascination with the beliefs of northern Europe before the arrival of Christianity, which have been the subject of a huge range of popular and scholarly theories, interpretations, and uses. Indeed, the pre-Christian religions of the North have exerted a phenomenal influence on modern culture, appearing in everything from the names of days of the week to Hollywood blockbusters. Scholarly treatments have been hardly less varied. Theories - from the Middles Ages until today - have depicted these pre-Christian religious systems as dangerous illusions, the works of Satan, representatives of a lost proto-Indo-European religious culture, a form of 'natural' religion, and even as a system non-indigenous in origin, derived from cultures outside Europe. The Research and Reception strand of the Pre-Christian Religions of the North project establishes a definitive survey of the current and historical uses and interpretations of pre-Christian mythology and religious material, tracing the many ways in which people both within and outside Scandinavia have understood and been influenced by these religions, from the Christian Middle Ages to contemporary media of all kinds. The previous volume (I) traced the reception down to the early nineteenth century, while the present volume (II) takes up the story from c. 1830 down to the present day and the burgeoning of interest across a diversity of new as well as old media.
