• Transfer thinking in translation studies

  playing with the black box of cultural transfer

  The concept of transfer covers the most diverse phenomena of circulation, transformation and reinterpretation of cultural goods across space and time, and are among the driving forces in opening up the field of translation studies. Transfer processes cross linguistic and cultural boundaries and cannot be reduced to simple movements from a source to a target (culture or text). In a time of paradigm shifts, this book aims to explore the potential and interdisciplinary power of transfer as a concept...

• Orpheus Institute Performance, subjectivity, and experimentation

  Music reflects subjectivity and identity: that idea is now deeply ingrained in both musicology and popular media commentary. The study of music across cultures and practices often addresses the enactment of subjectivity "in" music - how music expresses or represents "an" individual or "a" group. However, a sense of selfhood is also formed and continually reformed through musical practices, not least performance. How does this take place? How might the work of practitioners reveal aspects of this...

• Peter de Rivo on chronology and the calendar

  Peter de Rivo (c.1420-1499), a renowned philosopher active at the University of Leuven, is today mostly remembered for his controversial role in the quarrel over future contingents (1465-1475). Much less known are his contributions to historical chronology, in particular his attempts to determine the dates of Christ's birth and death. In 1471, Peter made an original contribution to this long-standing discussion with his Dyalogus de temporibus Christi, which reconciles conflicting views by rewriting...

• Emmanuel Falque Nothing to It

  reading Freud as a philosopher

  The confrontation between philosophy and psychoanalysis has had its heyday. After the major debates between Paul Ricoeur, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, and Michel Henry, this dialogue now seems to have broken down. It has therefore proven necessary and gainful to revisit these debates to explore their re-usability and the degree to which they can provide new insights from a contemporary point of view. It can be said that contemporary philosophy suffers from an 'excess of...

• Studies in Latin literature and epigraphy in Italian fascism

  This book deals with the use of Latin as a literary and epigraphic language under Italian Fascism (1922-1943).

This collection deepens our understanding of 'Fascist Latinity', presents a range of previously little-known material, and opens up a number of new avenues of research. The chapters explore the pivotal role of Latin in constructing...

In this volume leading scholars explore various aspects of knightly identity, taking into account both commonalities and particularities across Western Europe.

  American Protestant missions in Western Europe, 1940-1975

  Among a wide spectrum of American Protestants, the horrors of World War II triggered grave concern for Europe's religious future.

During the colonial period religion was no less central to people's lives than it is today. More surprisingly, behind the...
