In this book some 25 scholars focus on the relationship between religion, children's literature and modernity in Western Europe since the Enlightenment (c. 1750). They examine various aspects of the phenomenon of children's literature, such as types of texts, age of readers, position of authors, design and illustration. The role of religion in giving meaning both in a substantive sense as well as through the institutionalised churches is studied from an interdenominational point of view (Judaism, Roman Catholicism, Protestantism and Anglicanism). Finally, the contribution of pedagogy and child psychology in the interaction between modernity, religion and children's literature is also discuss...
The purpose of the role of binational entrepreneurs as social and economic bridge builders between Europe and North Africa is to show academics and practitioners the importance of the role of European bi-nationals.

The twentieth-century process of secularization does not mean that institutional church and Christian ideas were irrelevant for twentieth-century societal projects – such as the introduction of democracy, the improvement of school and education, the framing of national identities – or in the establishment of welfare-states. On the contrary, this publication is built on the presupposition that secularization runs parallell with the sacralization of the state. It can be argued that Christianity has been decisive for how the modern European society evolved in the twentieth century, e.g. concerning how Christian history and Christian values were a part of the new national and social imaginar...

Wanneer je oudere mensen vraagt naar de jeugdboeken die hen zijn bijgebleven, dan is de kans groot dat ze Arendsoog noemen, Pim Pandoer of – zeker als ze katholiek zijn opgevoed – Puk en Muk. Jongere generaties kennen Arendsoog vaak ook nog, maar zijn toch meer bekend met de Griezelbus-verhalen van Paul van Loon, de Maan-Roos-Vis-boekjes of de tijdschriften Okki en Taptoe. Al deze titels werden of worden op de markt gebracht door de Tilburgse uitgeverij Zwijsen of het Bossche Malmberg. Beide uitgeverijen bestaan al meer dan 125 jaar. Ze begonnen als specifiek katholieke uitgeverijen, maar ontwikkelden zich gaandeweg tot toonaangevende uitgeverijen voor de hele Nederlandse jeugdboekenmark...

A broad perspective on the role of religious institutes in social and cultural practices This volume examines the cultural contribution of religious institutes, men and women religious, and their role in the constitution of Catholic communities of communication in different European countries (England, Germany, Liechtenstein, the Low Countries, the Nordic Countries, Switzerland).
