insights from European, Latin American, and African post-conflict societies

This book seeks to analyse the impact, advances, and difficulties of prosecuting perpetrators of mass atrocities at national and international levels. What role...

Peter de Rivo on chronology and the calendar
Peter de Rivo (c.1420-1499), a renowned philosopher active at the University of Leuven, is today mostly remembered for his controversial role in the quarrel over future contingents (1465-1475). Much less known are his contributions to historical chronology, in particular his attempts to determine the dates of Christ's birth and death. In 1471, Peter made an original contribution to this long-standing discussion with his Dyalogus de temporibus Christi, which reconciles conflicting views by rewriting...

Hans Krabbendam Saving the overlooked continent
American Protestant missions in Western Europe, 1940-1975
Among a wide spectrum of American Protestants, the horrors of World War II triggered grave concern for Europe's religious future. They promptly mobilised resources to revive Europe's Christian foundation. Saving the Overlooked Continent reconstructs this surprising redirection of Western missions. For the first time, Europe became the recipient of America's missionary enterprise. The American missionary impulse matched the military, economic, and political programs of the U.S., all of which positioned...

Studies in Latin literature and epigraphy in Italian fascism
This book deals with the use of Latin as a literary and epigraphic language under Italian Fascism (1922-1943). The myth of Rome lay at the heart of Italian Fascist ideology, and the ancient language of Rome, too, played an important role in the regime's cultural politics. This collection deepens our understanding of 'Fascist Latinity', presents a range of previously little-known material, and opens up a number of new avenues of research. The chapters explore the pivotal role of Latin in constructing...

The Congo in Flemish literature
an anthology of Flemish prose on the Congo, 1870s - 1990s
This book presents the first anthology of Flemish prose on the Congo, the former colony of Belgium, in English translation. Because of the Dutch language barrier, Flemish literature on the Congo has traditionally remained inaccessible to and thus neglected by international scholarship, as opposed to French or English prose on this part of the African continent. That this particular perspective has thus far remained underexposed, or even disregarded, is all the more regrettable in light of the fact...

Kristien Suenens Humble women, powerful nuns

A close reading of their personal writings unveils their conflicted existence: ambitious, engaged, and bold on the one hand, suffering and isolated on the other, they were both...

Religion, Colonization and Decolonization in Congo, 1885-1960
Religion in today's Democratic Republic of Congo has many faces: from the overflowing seminaries and Marian shrines of the Catholic Church to the Islamic brotherhoods, from the healers of Kimban-guism to the televangelism of the booming Pentecostalist churches in the great cities, from the Orthodox communities of Kasai to the 'invisible' Mai Mai warriors in the brousse of Kivu. During the colonial period religion was no less central to people's lives than it is today. More surprisingly, behind the...

Una lingua morta per letterature vive
il dibattito sul Latino come lingua letteraria in età moderna e contemporanea; atti del convegno internazionale di studi (roma, 10-12 dicembre 2015)
La straordinaria polifonia di lingue che caratterizza le letterature nazionali di età moderna è ormai un dato acquisito nelle più aggiornate ricostruzioni di storia letteraria. Meno nota è forse la dialettica vivace che innerva questo delicato equilibrio, nel quale - almeno in Italia - si inseriscono a pieno titolo i dialetti. I lavori raccolti in questo volume, che trae origine da un convegno organizzato dal Ludwig Boltzmann Institut für Neulateinische Studien, si propongono di fare il punto...
