Photography’s materialities

transatlantic photographic practices over the long nineteenth century

There is little dispute that photography is a material practice, and that the photograph itself is ineluctably material. And yet "matter," "material," and "materiality" have proven to be remarkably elusive terms of inquiry, frequently producing studies that are disparate in scope, sharing seemingly little common ground. Although the wide methodological range of materialist study can be dizzying, it is this book's contention that that multiplicity is also the field's greatest asset, keeping materialist...

It is now everywhere in your life. That personalised advertising folder from the supermarket with offers “especially for you”? AI. The songs suggested for you on Spotify? AI. The self-regulating traffic lights on the corner of your street? AI. It is undeniable that AI is entering our lives at a dizzying speed. It is now part...

B.O. van Zanten The Star Mountains expedition to Dutch New Guinea in 1959

personal experiences and impressions

In 1959 the Koninklijk Nederlands Aardrijkskundig Genootschap (KNAG), together with the Rijksherbarium Leiden organised a multi-disciplinary expedition. This was a remarkable expedition because it was destined to explore the Star Mountains of what was then Dutch New-Guinea. The Star Mountains on the Central Mountain Range were the last area of Dutch New-Guinea not yet under Dutch control or governance. Hardly anything was known about this area, it was even questionable whether there were actually...

Perry Pierik Horthy and the battle for the Hungarian nation state

the source of anti-European sentiment in Hungary

Hungary rose as a nation state after the First World War, from the ashes of the Dual Monarchy. State regent and admiral without a fleet, Miklós Horthy, played a crucial role herein. The path to independence was far from simple for the Hungarians. Shortly after the First World War the communists staged a coup and the Entente Powers, and in particular the Pan-Europeans amongst them, tried thereafter to reinstate the Habsburg Empire. This put Horthy, as former wing adjutant of the Austro-Hungarian...

Neo-Thomism in action

law and society reshaped by Neo-Scholastic philosophy 1880-1960

In his encyclical Aeterni Patris (1879), Pope Leo XIII expressed the conviction that the renewed study of the philosophical legacy of Saint Thomas Aquinas would help Catholics to engage in a dialogue with secular modernity while maintaining respect for Church doctrine and tradition. As a result, the neo-scholastic framework dominated Catholic intellectual production for nearly a century thereafter. This volume assesses the societal impact of the Thomist revival movement, with particular attention...
