David Mangene How to not kill yourself

10 tips for troubled times

Men don’t have mental health problems. Well maybe they do, but they struggle to talk about them and to ask for help. David Mangene wants to help this situation by removing the taboo, and encouraging men especially to talk about mental health issues. David has struggled his entire adult life with depression, mania, and suicidal thoughts. In this book he uses humor as a vehicle to write candidly, and quite bluntly at times, about his own life and the reasons to carry on living. “And one last thing:...

Stefan Östersjö Listening to the other

Our contemporary, globalised society demands new forms of listening. But what are these new forms? In Listening to the Other, Stefan Östersjö challenges conventional understandings of the ways musicians listen. He develops a transmodal understanding of listening that is situated in the body-a body that is extended by its mediation through musical instruments and other technologies. Listening habits can turn these tools-and even the body itself-into resistant objects or musical Others. Supported...

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).

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...

Magd Abdel Wahab Logic & islam

Throughout history, a believer did not need logical proof to believe in Almighty God. This is because the spiritual proof was always enough to admit the existence of Almighty God and to submit to Him. Finding Almighty God is not a mathematical equation that needs to be proven. Rather, it is a spiritual feeling due to a call from inside a human being. The relationship between Almighty God and humans is spiritual rather logical.However, with the advances in science and technology, this spiritual relationship...

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...

Knighthood and society in the High Middle Ages

In popular imagination few phenomena are as strongly associated with medieval society as knighthood and chivalry. At the same time, and due to a long tradition of differing national perspectives and ideological assumptions, few phenomena have continued to be the object of so much academic debate. In this volume leading scholars explore various aspects of knightly identity, taking into account both commonalities and particularities across Western Europe. Knighthood and Society in the High Middle Ages...

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...

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.

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...

The concept of transfer covers the most diverse phenomena of circulation, transformation and reinterpretation of cultural goods across space and time, and are among the driving forces in opening up the field of translation studies.
