New Perspectives on Imagology
With this volume, the editors Katharina Edtstadler, Sandra Folie, and Gianna Zocco propose an extension of the traditional conception of imagology as a theory and method for studying the cultural construction and literary representation of national, usually European characters. Consisting of an instructive introduction and 21 articles, the book relates this sub-field of comparative literature to contemporary political developments and enriches it with new interdisciplinary, transnational, intersectional, and intermedial perspectives. The contributions offer [1] a reconsideration and update of the field’s methods, genres, and theoretical frames; [2] trans-/post-national, migratory, and marginalized perspectives beyond the European nation-state; [3] insights into geopolitical dichotomies such as Orient/Occident; [4] intersectional approaches considering the entanglements of national images with notions of age, class, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity/race; [5] investigations of the role of national images in visual narratives and music.
Praktijkboek voor de VZW
Sinds 1 mei 2019 geldt er een nieuwe wetgeving voor VZW’s in België en ook de afgelopen vijf jaar (2019-begin 2024) veranderde er veel op wetgevend vlak. De tweede, geactualiseerde uitgave van dit boek is een handige gids voor en over VZW’s, hun raadgevers, notarissen, federaties en advocaten. Het behandelt de belangrijkste onderwerpen met betrekking tot de VZW. Elk hoofdstuk begint – waar nuttig – met een toelichting van de wijzigingen uit het WVV van de afgelopen vijf jaar, zodat de meer ervaren bestuurder of adviseur op de hoogte is van de recente wijzigingen. Vanzelfsprekend behandelt het boek geactualiseerde invalshoeken, waarin de wijzigingen geïntegreerd zijn. Bij de besprekingen wordt systematisch verwezen naar de (nieuwe) wetgeving.
Identity and History in Non-Anglophone Comics
This book explores the historical and cultural significance of comics in languages other than English, examining the geographic and linguistic spheres which these comics inhabit and their contributions to comic studies and academia. The volume brings together texts across a wide range of genres, styles, and geographic locations, including the Netherlands, Colombia, Greece, Mexico, Poland, Finland, Portugal, Ireland, and the Czech Republic, among others. These works have remained out of reach for speakers of languages other than the original and do not receive the scholarly attention they deserve due to their lack of English translations. This book highlights the richness and diversity these works add to the corpus of comic art and comic studies that Anglophone comics scholars can access to broaden the collective perspective of the field and forge links across regions, genres, and comic traditions. Part of the Global Perspectives in Comics Studies series, this volume spans continents and languages. It will be of interest to researchers and students of comics studies, literature, cultural studies, popular culture, art and design, illustration, history, film studies, and sociology.
Who Owns the World's Media?
Who Owns the World's Media? moves beyond the rhetoric of free media and free markets to provide a dispassionate and data-driven analysis of global media ownership trends and their drivers. Based on an extensive data collection effort from scholars around the world, the book covers 13 media industries, including television, newspapers, book publishing, film, search engines, ISPs, wireless telecommunication and others, across a 10-25 year period in 30 countries.
Comics & Culture
Comics have become important elements in the culture of the 20th century, not only has the genre been recognized as a medium and an art form in its own right; it has also inspired other means of communication from text books to interactive media. In 13 articles, Comics and Culture offers an introduction to the field of comics research written by scholars from Europe and the USA. The articles span a great variety of approaches including general discussions of the aesthetics and definition of comics, comparisons of comics with other media, analyses of specific comics and genres, and discussions of the cultural status of comics in society. One way to characterize this book is to focus on the contributors. Recognized and established research with important publications to their credit form one group: Donald Ault, Thierry Groensteen, M. Thomas Inge, Pascal Lefvre and Roger Sabin. Another group is from the new generation of researches represented by PhD students: Hans-Christian Christiansen
Historical Dictionaries and Historical Dictionary Research
This volume is a collection of papers from the 1st International Conference on Historical Lexicography and Lexicology at the University of Leicester in 2002. The purpose of the conference was to bring together scholars and academics from around the world working as scholars and editors on historical dictionaries or as practising lexicographers. The papers are, accordingly, arranged in two sections, reflecting the distinction between those individuals working on the historical development of dictionaries and those considering the lexicological problems and challenges facing the lexicographer in attempting to represent as fully and justly as possible historical forms of the English language.

Bob de Moor
Februari 1945. De Tweede Wereldoorlog lijkt na de bevrijding door de geallieerden pas te beginnen voor Antwerpen, want V1- en V2-bommen bestoken voortdurend de stad. Tijdens een van die bominslagen verliest een jongeman van 19 twee vingers. Gelukkig aan zijn linkerhand want de jongeman is rechtshandig en wil striptekenaar worden. Bob De Moor debuteerde een half jaar later met zijn strip Bart de Scheepsjongen, het begin van een indrukwekkende carrière. Samen met Willy Vandersteen en Marc Sleen behoort hij tot de `founding fathers van de Vlaamse stripwereld. Toen Hergé hem vroeg om zijn meester-assistent te worden aarzelde hij niet om te kunnen meewerken aan onvergetelijke albums als Raket n...
