Leaving a Legacy
People want to change things, improve the world. Our mind cannot live without meaning. Just like the body asks for food. We all know that we have the leverage to make things happen. It’s important to know what to do, but it’s even more important to remember why you do what you do. Leaving a legacy is about impact surviving the erosion of time. About scaling and accelerating positive impact. Be ready to get inspired about leaving your own legacy. How do you leave a legacy? What drives a legacy? How about your legacy statement? And how about increasing your impact? Will you choose for scaling up, scaling deep, scaling out, or maybe even scaling down? Get carried away by the impact point of...
The Politics of Self-determination
Addresses the pitfalls of border drawing in post-WWI Europe, arguing that at international and local levels, the 'temptation of violence' made national self-determination problematic, as local elites, administrations, and paramilitary leaders used ethnic notions of identity to mobilise popular support under a guise of international legitimacy.
Brokers of Modernity
The story of modernist architects in East Central Europe The first half of the twentieth century witnessed the rise of modernist architects. Brokers of Modernity reveals how East Central Europe turned into one of the pre-eminent testing grounds of the new belief system of modernism. By combining the internationalism of the CIAM organization and the modernising aspirations of the new states built after 1918, the reach of modernist architects extended far beyond their established fields. Yet, these architects paid a price when Europe’s age of extremes intensified. Mainly drawing on Polish, but also wider Central and Eastern European cases, this book delivers a pioneering study of the dynamics of modernist architects as a group, including how they became qualified, how they organized, communicated and attempted to live the modernist lifestyle themselves. In doing so, Brokers of Modernity raises questions concerning collective work in general and also invites us to examine the social role of architects today. Ebook available in Open Access. This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).
The Biographical Turn
The Biographical Turn showcases the latest research through which the field of biography is being explored. Fifteen leading scholars in the field present the biographical perspective as a scholarly research methodology, investigating the consequences of this bottom-up approach and illuminating its value for different disciplines. While biography has been on the rise in academia since the 1980s, this volume highlights the theoretical implications of the biographical turn that is changing the humanities. Chapters cover subjects such as gender, religion, race, new media and microhistory, presenting biography as as a research methodology suited not only for historians but also for explorations i...
Reimagining the Historian in Victorian England
This book traces the transformation of history from a Romantic literary pursuit into a modern academic discipline during the second half of the nineteenth century, and shows how this change inspired Victorians to reconsider what it meant to be a historian. This reconceptualization of the ‘historian’ lies at the heart of this book as it explores how historians strove to forge themselves a collective scholarly persona that reflected and legitimised their new disciplinary status and gave them authority to speak on behalf of the past. The author argues that historians used the persona as a replacement for missing institutional structures, and converted book parts to a sphere where they could...
Architecture Post Mortem
Architecture Post Mortem surveys architecture’s encounter with death, decline, and ruination following late capitalism. As the world moves closer to an economic abyss that many perceive to be the death of capital, contraction and crisis are no longer mere phases of normal market fluctuations, but rather the irruption of the unconscious of ideology itself. Post mortem is that historical moment wherein architecture’s symbolic contract with capital is put on stage, naked to all. Architecture is not irrelevant to fiscal and political contagion as is commonly believed; it is the victim and penetrating analytical agent of the current crisis. As the very apparatus for modernity’s guilt and un...

Het boek in Vlaanderen sinds 1800 een cultuurgeschiedenis
Standaardwerk over de geschiedenis van het boek in Vlaanderen Meer nog dan in andere landen biedt het boek in Vlaanderen stof voor een alternatieve cultuurgeschiedenis, die de ontwikkeling van onze samenleving in de jongste twee eeuwen bekijkt vanuit de rol die het boek daarin heeft gespeeld. 25 jaar na zijn eerste, meermaals bekroonde editie van de Geschiedenis van de uitgeverij in Vlaanderen (1984-1987), brengt Ludo Simons een volledig herwerkte en uitgebreide uitgave waarin hij beschrijft hoe het boek in Vlaanderen tot halverwege de 20ste eeuw nauw verbonden was met de diverse maatschappelijke stromingen en hoe het in de laatste halve eeuw onderworpen werd aan marktstrategieën die het 'product' een wezenlijke mutatie deden ondergaan. Reeds bij verschijnen van de eerste editie waren de commentaren unaniem lovend. Historicus Hans Furstner noemde het 'belangrijke pioniersarbeid' en Jeroen Brouwers zei erover: 'Ik heb er buitengewoon genoegen aan beleefd. Het is zeer interessant en het is goed dat dit boek er is'. Dit standaardwerk is enig in zijn soort en is een onmisbaar werk voor iedereen die het boek en het boekenvak koestert.
