Joris Snaet. Cartoons & illustraties
Joris Snaet (Leuven, 1971) is huiscartoonist van de krant De Standaard en van de Campuskrant van de KU Leuven. Cartoons en tekeningen van zijn hand zijn ook terug te vinden in talrijke boeken en gelegenheidspublicaties. Hij onderscheidt zich van zijn directe collega?s door zijn verhalende stijl: niet de directe grap, maar een milde commentaar die tijd en aandacht vraagt van de haastige lezer. Er is altijd veel te zien, ook in de marges. Joris Snaet refereert bovendien vaak aan de kunst- en cultuurgeschiedenis, die hij door en door kent.00In 1995 verschenen de eerste cartoons van zijn hand in de Campuskrant van de KU Leuven. De volgende jaren werkte Snaet als wetenschappelijk tekenaar op de a...
Between Tradition and Innovation
This book offers an analysis of the ground breaking mathematical work of Gregorio a San Vicente and his student and shows that the Flemish Jesuit Mathematics School had profound influence on mathematics in the seventeenth century.
Jesuit Survival and Restoration
In Jesuit Survival and Restoration leading scholars from around the world discuss the most dramatic event in the Society of Jesus's history. The order was suppressed by papal command in 1773 and for the next forty-one years ex-Jesuits endeavoured to keep the Ignatian spirit alive and worked towards the order's restoration. When this goal was achieved in 1814 the Society entered one of its most dynamic but troubled eras. The contributions in the volume trace this story in a global perspective, looking at developments in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
Palazzi Di Genova
Rubens' book 'Palazzi di Genova' was well diffused in European countries as England, the Netherlands, France, Germany and Italy thanks to the numerous contacts the famous painter and diplomat maintained in humanistic, artistic and political circles. From 1622 on this book, containing two volumes, was edited at several times during the 17th and 18th Century. But the direct influences of the numerous facades, plans, cross-sections, staircases and building details on modern architecture look rather limited, especially in his own country. In this study, several scholars in architectural history analyse how the examples of Genoese palazzi and churches as presented by Rubens were accepted in diffe...
Glorious Temples or Babylonic Whores
An account of the intellectual and cultural history of church architecture in Stuart England based upon the discourse analysis of forty consecration sermons.
The Human Recipe
A smart and witty guide to all you want to know about human genetics Human genetics is not the playground of science alone. Genetics concerns all of us, for we all have DNA, genes, genomes, and chromosomes. Our genes determine partly our appearance and our behaviour, our talents and our health risks. The authors of The Human Recipe use humour to explain what we understand about human genetics. With anecdotes and topical examples, they demonstrate how genetics affects our everyday lives. What if a DNA analysis were to reveal that your biological father must be someone other than the person you’ve been calling “Dad” for years? Does genetics explain why Africans excel in athletics, Asians...
Citizens and Sodomites: Persecution and Perception of Sodomy in the Southern Low Countries (1400–1700)
The Southern Low Countries were among Europe’s core regions for the repression of sodomy during the late medieval period. As the first comprehensive study on sodomy in the Southern Low Countries, this book charts the prosecution of sodomy in some of the region’s leading cities, such as Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp, from 1400 to 1700 and explains the reasons behind local differences and variations in the intensity of prosecution over time. Through a critical examination of a range of sources, this study also considers how the urban fabric perceived sodomy and provides a broader interpretive framework for its meaning within the local culture.
The Low Countries at the Crossroads
This book focuses on the diffusion of architectural inventions from the Low Countries to other parts of Europe from the late fifteenth until the end of the seventeenth century. Multiple pathways connected the architecture of the Low Countries with the world, but a coherent analysis of the phenomenon is still missing. Written by an international team of specialists, the book offers case-studies illustrating various mechanisms of transmission, such as the migration of building masters and sculptors who worked as architects abroad, networks of foreign patrons inviting Netherlandish artists, printed models and the role of foreign architects who visited the Low Countries for professional reasons. Its geographical scope is as broad as the period under review and includes all European regions where Netherlandish elements were found: from Spain to Scandinavia and from Scotland to Transylvania.
Bellissimi ingegni, grandissimo splendore
Het religieuze bouwen in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden tijdens de 17de eeuw wordt gekenmerkt door een grote diversiteit en originaliteit. Als één der meest noordelijke territoria van Europa waar de Contrareformatie wordt ingevoerd, spelen deze streken vanaf de laatste decennia van de 16de eeuw immers de rol van laboratorium waarin een nieuwe religieuze architectuur moet worden ontwikkeld. De in deze bundel verzamelde studies belichten de complexe architectuurtheoretische discussies die in de Nederlanden, net zoals in Italië, rond de problematiek van de 'nieuwe kerk' werden gevoerd en het ingewikkelde proces dat voorafging aan het tot stand komen van nieuwe typologieën in de kerkenbouw tijden...
