Picturing the (Un)Dead in Beirut
Martyr posters are more than obituary images – they can act as visual politics. Focusing on Rabih Mroué's play How Nancy Wished That Everything Was an April Fool's Joke (2007), Agnes Rameder analyses how contemporary artists question and appropriate Lebanese martyr posters. By linking the posters from the Wars in Lebanon (1975-1990) to contemporary posters, she shows that these images continue to the present day, that martyrs are still created and that deaths, such as those who were killed in the explosion on 4 August 2020, are still visually remembered. This study does not focus on how such pictures are perceived by a Western audience but delves into the use and abuse of martyr posters that were intended to be shown to the Lebanese.

Islam III
Islam today, with approximately 1.8 billion adherents, is a lively and fast-growing worldwide religious community. This third volume of the three-part presentation of Islam in the series ?Religions of the World= traces the religion=s historical development during the last 200 years and examines the issues of ?Islam and Modernity= and ?Islam in the Postcolonial Age=.

Les portraits de Marie-Thérèse
Un large corpus de portraits répartis principalement dans les anciens territoires de la Monarchie des Habsbourg (Autriche, Bohême, Hongrie, Pays-Bas autrichiens, certains territoires italiens) a été réalisé entre la naissance de Marie-Thérèse en 1717 et sa mort en 1780, surtout entre 1740 et 1780. Ce corpus a permis d’analyser l’importance des portraits de Marie-Thérèse au sein des pays de la Monarchie. Il existe peu de travaux en histoire concernant la représentation picturale de la souveraine autrichienne. Malgré la Pragmatique Sanction de 1713 censée garantir l’accès au trône de la fille aînée de Charles VI, l’arrivée au pouvoir de Marie-Thérèse en 1740 est imm...
