Wayne McLennan Een nacht bij de rivier
mijn vrienden de Aboriginals
Veel Australiërs brengen het grootste deel van hun leven door zonder ooit te praten met iemand van de Aboriginalbevolking. Wayne McLennan groeide op in een mijnstadje vlakbij de kust. Vanwege zijn liefde voor boksen (een sport die populair is bij Aboriginals), heeft hij wél mannen die tot de oorspronkelijke bewoners van het continent behoren, leren kennen en respecteren. Een nacht bij de rivier is een zoektocht naar het antwoord op de vraag of echt contact tussen een witte Australiër en een Aboriginal...

Mieke Kosters Het geheim van slanke mensen
Let op: Epub3 fixed lay-out, niet geschikt voor e-reader. Dan hoorde ik zo'n dun type zeggen: "Ik eet wat ik wil en ik kom niet aan." Oneerlijk vond ik dat: ik kwam van de wind al aan.' Vanaf haar vijftiende was Mieke Kosters met lijnen bezig. Maar afvallen en op gewicht blijven lukte pas echt toen ze haar slanke vriendinnen ging observeren: hoe konden zij wel bitterballen eten en toch in maatje 38 passen? Mieke kopieerde het 'slanke' eetgedrag en werd - met elke dag chocola en wijn - 15 kilo lichter....

Mikkel Hofstee Primal human 2.0
how your ancestral genes affect your behavior today
Even though we've never been better off, obesity, depression, stress, and addictions to screen time and unhealthy food are rampant. Why is this happening? Primal Human 2.0 shows that we weren't made for our modern way of life. Our amazing ancient genes are struggling with all these everyday temptations and this is making us feel miserable. Stress, our age-old reaction to danger, is now one of the biggest killers on Earth because we're always 'on'. Our longing for rewards in the shape of 'likes' on...

Henny Bos If criticism hurts
(or a blessing in disguise)
We all get criticized. That's part of life. Parents, partners, friends, haters, strangers, they all have an opinion on what you do, what you don't do, and what you should do. But if the critique hurts and leads to anger or sadness, it means you are a victim of two unexpected enemies: your ego and your inner critic. If you want to be free from the pain of judgment, you need to say goodbye to your ego and welcome your true Self, the authentic and unique person that you are. Henny Bos links personal...

Orpheus Institute Futures of the contemporary
contemporaneity, untimeliness, and artistic research
Futures of the Contemporary explores different notions and manifestations of "the contemporary" in music, visual arts, art theory, and philosophy. In particular, the authors in this collection of essays scrutinise the role of artistic research in critical and creative expressions of contemporaneity. When distinguished from "the contemporaneous" of a given historical time, "the contemporary" becomes a crucial concept, promoting or excluding objects and practices according to their ability to diagnose...

Luc Vanacker On that war
reflections on a century of historiography on the origins of the Great War
‘The time of the great debates about the origins of the Great War is over,’ German historian Oliver Janz wrote in 2013; but nothing proved less true. German historian Fritz Fischer had already, in the 1960s, caused a ‘controversy’ by attributing to Germany a ‘substantial’ and even a ‘decisive’ share in the outbreak of the war; but his work was only based on German sources. We had to wait till the early 21st century before academic studies appeared about the Russian (in 2011) and the French (in 2015)...

Orpheus Institute Sensorial aesthetics in music practices
The Western history of aesthetics is characterised by tension between theory and practice. Musicians listen, play, and then listen more profoundly in order to play differently, adapt the body, and sense the environment. They become deeply involved in the sensorial qualities of music practice. Artistic practice refers to the original meaning of aesthetics-the senses. Whereas Baumgarten and Goethe explored the relationship between sensibility and reason, sensation and thinking, later philosophers of...

The survival of the Jesuits in the Low Countries, 1773-1850
In 1773, Pope Clement XIV suppressed the Society of Jesus. For the 823 Jesuits living in the Low Countries, it meant the end of their institutional religious life. In the Austrian Netherlands, the Jesuits were put under strict surveillance, but in the Dutch Republic they were able to continue their missionary work. It is this regional contrast and the opportunities it offered for the Order to survive that make the Low Countries an exceptional and interesting case in Jesuit history. Just as in White...

Centrum voor Migratie en Interculturele Studies Radicalisation
a marginal phenomenon or a mirror to society?
Radicalisation is a topical and a much-discussed concept in current European societies. Its use in policy and societal discourses, such as media coverage and educational contexts, is very sensitive. This thought-provoking collection of essays critically addresses the topic of radicalisation from different angles, combining discipline-specific insights from the fields of sociology, philosophy, history, religious studies, and media studies, with new empirical data. The authors step away from readily...

Roeland Goorts War, state and society in Liège
how a small state of the Holy Roman Empire survived the Nine Year's War (1688-1697)
Small power diplomacy in seventeenth century Europe. War, State and Society in Liège is a fascinating case study of the consequences of war in the Prince-Bishopric of Liège and touches upon wider issues in early modern history, such as small power diplomacy in the seventeenth century and during the Nine Years' War. For centuries, the small semi-independent Holy Roman Principality of Liège succeeded in preserving a non-belligerent role in European conflicts. During the Nine Years' War (1688-1697),...

John Milton John Milton, Epistolarum familiarium liber unus and Uncollected letters
John Milton holds an impressive place within the rich tradition of neo-Latin epistolography. His Epistolae Familiares and uncollected letters paint an invigorating portrait of the artist as a young man, offering insight into his reading programme, his views on education, friendship, poetry, his relations with continental literati, his blindness, and his role as Latin Secretary. This edition presents a modernised Latin text and a facing English translation, complemented by a detailed introduction...

Sarah Gensburger Memory on my doorstep
chronicles of the Bataclan neighborhood, Paris 2015-2016

This was the largest in a series of coordinated terrorist attacks that eventually killed 130 people and injured 500. During the aftermath of these attacks, expressions of mourning and trauma marked and invariably transformed the urban landscape....

Orpheus Institute Voices, bodies, practices
performing musical subjectivities
Identity and subjectivity in musical performances. Who is the "I" that performs? The arts of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have pushed us relentlessly to reconsider our notions of the self, expression, and communication: to ask ourselves, again and again, who we think we are and how we can speak meaningfully to one another. Although in other performing arts studies, especially of theatre, the performance of selfhood and identity continues to be a matter of lively debate in both practice...

Edy Korthals Altes Some reflections on ethical challenges
towards a war-free world
'The spectacular developments in science, technology and the econ'omy confront us with new challenges making it imperative to develop 'global ethics' for an increasingly interdependent world. Serious obstacles are the dynamics of the worldwide market economy, our fascination with endless ‘growth’ on a limited planet and our prevailing attitudes. For many, life has become horizontal, one dimensional, often resulting in a depressing loss of perspective and lack of vision. Fortunately there is a rapidly...
