‎FRANCIS BACON Mens en Beest‎

‎, Mercator/ Mercatorfonds , 2021 HB, 300 x 250 mm, 196 pages, 180 colour illustrations, Nederlandstalige uitgave ISBN 9789462302754.‎

‎Dit boek focust op de rol van dieren in het werk van Francis Bacon (1909-1992). Bacon schilderde vaak honden en paarden, en in 1969 voor het eerst een stierengevecht, een interactie tussen mens en dier die gevaarlijk en wreed is, maar ook verontrustend intiem. In deze publicatie identificeren deskundige auteurs Bacons inspiratiebronnen en bespreken ze zijn benadering van dieren in het onderzoek dat hij voerde naar de condition humaine. Tentoonstelling: Royal Academy, London: Jan- April 2021 Explore Francis Bacon's visceral paintings, where the line between human and animal is constantly blurred, reminding us that our primal instincts lie just below the surface. Irish-born artist Francis Bacon was the horse-breeder's son who became one of the most important painters of the 20th century. An openly gay man at a time when homosexuality was illegal, he was banished from his conservative family home by his father at 16. After that, he drifted through Berlin and Paris before establishing himself in London, with his formative years running parallel with some of the 20th century's most profoundly disturbing events. This powerful exhibition will focus on Bacon's unerring fascination with animals: how it both shaped his approach to the human body and distorted it; how, caught at the most extreme moments of existence, his figures are barely recognisable as either human or beast. It also explores how Bacon was mesmerised by animal movement, observing animals in the wild during trips to South Africa; filling his studio with wildlife books, and constantly referring to Eadweard Muybridge's 19th-century photographs of humans and animals in motion. Whether baboons or bulls, dogs or birds of prey, Bacon felt he could get closer to understanding the true nature of humankind by watching the uninhibited behaviour of animals. Spanning Bacon's 50-year career, highlights include some of Bacon's earliest works and his last-ever painting, alongside a trio of bullfight paintings which will be exhibited together for the first time. Seen together, these raw expressions of anxiety and instinct - both animal and human - feel poignantly relevant today. Exposition au Royal Academy, Londres, 22 janvier - 12 avril 2021‎

‎Beyond Exclusion in Medieval Ireland. Intersections of Ethnicity, Sex, and Society under English Law‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 338 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:4 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, 1 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503594576.‎

‎Summary The notion that, upon the advent of the English in 1167, all Gaelic peoples in Ireland were immediately and ipso facto denied access to the English royal courts has become so widely accepted in popular culture that it is often treated as fact. In this ground-breaking monograph, however, the narrative of absolute ethnic discrimination in thirteenth- and early fourteenth-century English Ireland is for the first time tackled head-on through a thorough re-examination of the Irish plea rolls. Through a forensic study of these records, the author demonstrates not only that there was a great deal of variation in how members of various ethnic groups and women who came before the English royal courts in Ireland were treated, but also that there was a large ? and hitherto scarcely noticed ? population of Gaels with regular and unimpeded access to English law, and that the intersections between gender/sex and ethnicity have too often been deeply misunderstood or disregarded. A close comparison between the treatment of Gaelic women and men and that of the English of Ireland, together with an in-depth examination of other ethnicities from around the Irish Sea, provide a new understanding of English Ireland in which it is clear that there was not a simple dichotomy between the English and the unfree, but rather that people lived an altogether more complex and nuanced existence.

‎Dormition and Assumption of the Virgin Mary‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, xii + 356 pages, Size:120 x 190 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503606163.‎

‎Summary This volume includes eight new translations of early Christian narratives about the end of the Virgin Mary's life, that is, her Dormition and Assumption. Translated from Greek, Latin, Syriac, Ethiopic, Georgian, and Christian Palestinian Aramaic, each of these texts is either translated into a modern language for the first time, or appears in a version that has not previously been published. The texts represent a broad range of the highly diverse early Christian memories of Mary's departure from this world. Likewise, the texts themselves often disclose a range of theological diversity within the early Christian tradition even beyond what scholars have thus far recognized. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1. The Book of Mary's Repose 2. The Six Books Apocryphon 3. The Greek Revision of the Book of Mary's Repose 4. The Latin Revision of the Book of Mary's Repose 5. The Latin Transitus Mariae 6. An Early Dormition Fragment in Old Georgian 7. A Liturgical Apocryphon from Jeremiah for the Dormition of the Virgin 8.

It is a must for record collectors, graphic designers and anyone into the new easy listening scene.‎

‎New Latin Contexts for Old English Homilies: Editions and Studies of Ten Sources and Analogues‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, xii + 504 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9780888442338.‎

‎Summary This book sheds new light on the Latin background of various Old English homilies, and of certain homilies from related vernacular traditions. Two broad themes are treated, the Nativity of Christ and Christian eschatology; the volume contains five Latin texts dealing with each theme. Critical editions, full English translations, and detailed introductions and commentaries are included, as well as case studies that demonstrate the relevance of each text to one or more homilies written in Old English, and, in a few cases, early Middle English and Old Norse. While the volume is intended for scholars of early English preaching, many of the texts hold considerable intrinsic interest and should have general appeal for medievalists, students of preaching, and those working on the transmission of biblical apocrypha in the Latin West.

And both discuss their meetings with contemporary Chinese poets and painters.

‎Belgicum Stephan Vanfleteren‎

‎, Hannibal, 2019 Hardcover, 212pp. tweede druk. nieuw. ISBN 9789492081834.‎

‎Belgicum is een fotoproject over Belgie. Het is geen objectieve weerspiegeling van een land maar een subjectief fotodocument in zwart-wit. Een ontdekkingstocht door een klein landje in het centrum van Europa tijdens de eeuwwisseling. Meer dan vijftien jaar heeft Stephan Vanfleteren door het territorium ?Belgicum? geslenterd, verdwaald en gejaagd door ontroering en liefde voor zijn moederland. Het werd een tocht door een land met littekens, op zoek naar een onvindbare identiteit maar met de melancholische ziel van een oude natie.‎

‎Steve Bloom's goal has been to search for the spirit of the world?s wildlife: the tiger?s eyes gleaming brightly in the jungles of India; polar bear cubs seeing the world for the first time; the few mountain gorillas left in Africa. The result is a perpetual dance for the eye which reveals not only the animals but much that is new to us about ourselves. Accompanied by his own commentaries, as passionate as they are informed, and thought-provoking quotes from legendary figures such as Mahatma Gandhi, Gerald Durrell and Emily Dickinson, Spirit of the Wild brings to the fore the common experiences of all living beings. These unforgettable images will astonish and inform anyone who sees them as the full force of man?s environmental destruction of the planet and its creatures is revealed.‎

‎Du créateur biblique au démiurge gnostique. Trajectoire et réception du motif du blasphème de l'Archonte‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 864 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:38 tables b/w., Language(s):French, Hebrew, Greek. ISBN 9782503584966.‎

‎Summary L'auteur de ce livre propose la comparaison critique de toutes les utilisations attestées du motif gnostique du blasphème de l'Archonte et l'étude de la transformation de la citation du texte d'Isaïe dans les textes gnostiques en examinant les particularités de chaque attestation. Cette approche permet, entre autres, de bien distinguer les différentes versions du blasphème de l'Archonte et de retracer, autant que possible, les différentes étapes de sa diffusion dans la littérature gnostique. Toutes ces variantes sont précieuses, car elles permettent de préciser les destinataires visés par les différentes oeuvres et les contextes socioreligieux spécifiques à chacune de celles-ci. L'Archonte apparaît tantôt comme un modèle de conversion à imiter, tantôt comme un anti-modèle à rejeter, comme le type de l'impiété religieuse. Ces présentations impliquent des destinataires et des situations communautaires différents, si bien que les origines du motif du blasphème de l'Archonte sont diverses, mais doivent être situées à l'intérieur du cadre de la construction du discours interreligieux. Le blasphème de l'Archonte apparaît alors comme un des volets de la crise identitaire du christianisme au IIème siècle, qui s'est cristallisée, entre autres, autour de la question de la véritable connaissance de Dieu.

‎Renée Lorie Noctuary‎

‎, Posture Editions Nr 32, 2019 PB, 297 x 210 mm, 96 pages, Illustrated.ENG-NL edition. ISBN 9789491262333.‎

‎Noctuary ? the first publication of Renée Lorie (b. 1989), a Brussels based photographer ? is a photografic journey into undefined landscapes and interiors. The black and white photographs are full of magical moments, uncertain feelings and surreal light. "A lot of images you see here were made during the end of a period of loss. Close beloved ones that passed away. When you go through this intense process of letting go, looking back, trying to hold on, forever is a strong compulsion. You want to latch onto these past certainties, in order to avoid the confrontation of constant change and dissociation, processes unique to life. Photography serves as a consolation to impossibly embrace what was."‎
