The Centre as Margin: Eccentric Perspectives on Art
The Centre as Margin. Eccentric Perspectives on Art is a multi-authored volume of collected essays that answer the challenge of thinking Art History, and the Arts in a broader sense, from a liminal point of view. Its main goal is thus to discuss the margin from the centre - drawing on its concomitance within study themes and subjects, ontological and epistemological positions, or research methodologies themselves. Marginality, eccentricity, liminality, and superfluity are all part of a dynamic relationship between centre and margin(s) that will be approached and discussed, from the point of view of disciplines as different and as close as art history, philosophy, literature and design, from ...

James Ensor
The brash young artist James Ensor painted Christ's Entry into Brussels in 1889 during a period of extraordinary artistic and political fomentation in his native Belgium. It is one of the most dazzling, innovative, and perplexing paintings created in Europe in the late nineteenth century, rivaling any work of its period in audacity and ambition. Huge in scale, complex in design and execution, and brimming with social commentary, the startling canvas presents a scene filled with clowns, masked figures, and--barely visible amid the swirling crowds--the tiny figure of Christ on a donkey entering the city of Brussels. This insightful volume examines the painting in light of Belgium's rich artistic, social, political, and theological debates in the late nineteenth century, and in the context of James Ensor's exceptional career, in order to decipher some of the painting's messages and meanings.

International Publishing in the Netherlands, 1933-1945
International publishing in the Netherlands had a glorious tradition in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. A remarkable revival took place after 1933, when several Dutch publishers began to issue books written by exiles of the Nazi regime in the German language. The decline of German scholarly and scientific publishing during the same time inspired a number of other Dutch publishers to expand their programs or start new ones. As the English language became more prominent internationally, enterprising Dutch publishers began to explore these markets as well. After the Germans invaded the Netherlands, a number of printers began to produce finely printed books and pamphlets in many languages clandestinely, as an act of defiance or to raise money for underground causes. This book documents these trends and events in the form of a series of bio-bibliographical portraits of the major participating publishers.
De intrede van het publiek
Aan het einde van de achttiende eeuw ontstonden op Belgisch grondgebied de eerste openbare musea. Die openden aan het begin van de negentiende eeuw hun deuren voor het publiek. Zo kon het museumbezoek zich als nieuwe culturele activiteit ontplooien. In dit boek wordt bestudeerd hoe dat proces verliep. Steunend op uitvoerig archiefonderzoek en royaal geïllustreerd met fraai beeldmateriaal biedt dit boek een breed opgezette geschiedenis van het museumbezoek in België in de periode vanaf de onafhankelijkheid tot het begin van de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Nys schetst de snelle expansie van het museumwezen, analyseert de ideeën die leefden over het museumbezoek, beschrijft hoe het museumbezoek concreet verliep, tracht het toenmalige museumpubliek een gezicht te geven en staat ook uitvoerig stil bij hoe dat publiek zijn bezoek aan de Belgische musea heeft beleefd. Op die manier krijgt de lezer een origineel portret van het rijke negentiende-eeuwse Belgische museumlandschap.
