Martyr Cults and Political Identities in Lebanon
Sabrina Bonsen sheds light on political cults of martyrs in Lebanon and reconsiders the context of their emergence, development and distinct characteristics since 1920. She examines how the honouring of martyrs became an established practice in Lebanese politics and is crucial to grasp the logic of violence and conflict. Drawing on the case of the Amal movement, the author analyses central narratives to the group’s discourse and practices concerning martyrdom to show how identity construction and strategies of legitimizing power are intertwined. Moreover, the book provides insides into political competition strategies, especially in regards to the two major Shiʿite political actors, Amal and Hizbullah, and takes a new look on martyrdom by going beyond cultural-religious explanations.

Gender Politics in Transition
Eva Schmidt analyses how power relations, ideas, and institutions in Tunisian gender politics changed during the democratisation process 2011–2014. Her analysis of gender politics offers a productive lens to understand the course of the Tunisian transition. As gender policies are integral to Tunisian national identity, they became a major battlefield in the fight for political inclusion and exclusion. In this context, liberal and leftist feminists accessed the decision-making institutions and enhanced the existing women’s rights legislation. Yet the intertwinement of modernist nationalism with women’s rights also limited the scope for feminist demands. This book contributes a unique case study to political transitology and advances an original theoretical approach based on Bourdieu’s theory of the political field.
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.
Das Erbe des Krieges
Das vorliegende Buch untersucht die Entstehung und Entwicklung der Lebanese Forces als Miliz im libanesischen Bürgerkrieg (1975-1990) und ihre Transformation in eine politische Partei nach dem Ende des Krieges bis in die heutige Zeit. Als eine der wichtigsten Parteien des Landes spiegelt die Entwicklung der Lebanese Forces die wechselhafte Geschichte des Libanons seit dem Bürgerkrieg wider. Durch die Untersuchung der Organisationsstrukturen sowie von Mitgliederprofilen und Ideologie werden die Kontinuitäten und Diskontinuitäten der Parteigeschichte in ihrem historischen Kontext sichtbar gemacht und aufgezeigt, wie das Erbe des Krieges die politischen und gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen des Libanons auch Jahrzehnte nach dem Ende der Gewalt prägt.

Ma vie avec Patrick Haemers (E-book)
« Le bruit de la porte de la cellule qui se referme dans la prison de Rio continue de résonner dans ma tête. Soudain, ça y est. C'est le courtcircuit. Un flot de souvenirs impossible à endiguer me fait suffoquer. Dans une forte lumière blanche défilent devant mes yeux des images, des scènes les plus diverses de mes dix années passées aux côtés de Patrick Haemers, l'homme le plus recherché de Belgique. L'ennemi public numéro 1. Patrick et Kevin qui jouent à cache-cache près de la piscine de notre villa à Barra de Tijuaca, un quartier résidentiel de Rio de Janeiro [...] Je suffoque. Patrick qui me crie quelque chose en passant sa main dans sa barbe. Je ne vois que le mouvemen...
