The Sublime in the Visual Culture of the Seventeenth-Century Dutch Republic

By: Stijn Bussels,Bram Van Oostveldt

Contrary to what Kant believed about the Dutch (and their visual culture) as “being of an orderly and diligent position” and thus having no feeling for the sublime, this book argues that the sublime played an important role in seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture. By looking at different visualizations of exceptional heights, divine presence, political grandeur, extreme violence, and extraordinary artifacts, the authors demonstrate how viewers were confronted with the sublime, which evoked in them a combination of contrasting feelings of awe and fear, attraction and repulsion. In studying seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture through the lens of notions of the sublime, we can move beyond the traditional and still widespread views on Dutch art as the ultimate representation of everyday life and the expression of a prosperous society in terms of calmness, neatness, and order. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, architectural history, and cultural history.

Why Psychosis Is Not So Crazy

A Road Map to Hope and Recovery for Families and Caregivers

By: Stijn Vanheule

An expert’s guide to humanizing psychosis through communication offers key insights for family and friends to support loved ones during mental health crises. Are we all a little crazy? Roughly 15 percent of the population will have a psychotic experience, in which they lose contact with reality. Yet we often struggle to understand and talk about psychosis. Interactions between people build on the stories they tell each other—stories about the past, about who they are or what they want. In psychosis we can no longer rely on these stories, this shared language. So how should we communicate with someone experiencing reality in a radically different way than we are? Drawing on his work in psychoanalysis, Stijn Vanheule seeks to answer this question, which carries significant implications for mental health as a whole. With a combination of theory from Freud to Lacan, present-day research, and compelling examples from his own patients and well-known figures such as director David Lynch and artist Yayoi Kusama, he explores psychosis in an engaging way that can benefit those suffering from it as well as the people who care for and interact with them.

A Living Landscape

Bronze Age Settlement Sites in the Dutch River Area, C. 2000-800 BC

By: Stijn Arnoldussen

Today, half the Netherlands is below sea level. Because of this, water-management is of key importance when it comes to maintaining present-day habitation of the Dutch low-lands. In prehistory, however, large parts of the Dutch landscape were highly dynamic due to ongoing fluvial sedimentation. Vast deltaic areas with ceaseless river activity formed the backdrop against which prehistoric occupation took place. Although such landscapes may seem inhospitable, the often excellently preserved archaeological evidence indicates that people lived in these lowlands throughout prehistory. This book describes why Bronze Age farmers were keen to settle here and how these prehistoric communities structured the landscape around their house-sites at various scales. Using a vast body of evidence from several large-scale excavations in the Dutch river area, the author reconstructs the changes in the cultural landscape over time. Starting from the Middle Neolithic, changing preferences for settlement site locations and changes in domestic architecture are traced in detail to the Iron Age. However, for proper understanding of the cultural landscape, not only settlements but also graves and patterns of object deposition - and their landscape characteristics - are discussed. By using evidence from over 50 major excavations, yielding over 300 house plans, this book contains by far the richest data-set on Dutch Bronze Age settlements. Most of these results have not previously been published in English, making this book of over 500 pages a true academic treasure for an international audience. The in-depth presentation of Bronze Age settlement sites, as well as the critical discussion of models and premises current in later prehistoric settlement archaeology, have an important relevance stretching beyond the Dutch lowland areas on which it is based. The wealth of high-quality Dutch data is presented as a synthesized (yet well-annotated) narrative, that rises above mere site interpretation, even more so due to its landscape-scale focus. Therefore this book is a must-have for those interested in later prehistoric cultural landscapes and settlement archaeology.

Van Dyck

The Anatomy of Portraiture

By: Stijn Alsteens,Adam Eaker,Xavier F. Salomon,Bert Watteeuw

The first major examination of Anthony van Dyck's work as a portraitist and an essential resource on this aspect of his illustrious career This landmark volume is a comprehensive survey of the portrait drawings, paintings, and prints of Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641), one of the most celebrated portraitists of all time. His supremely elegant style and ability to convey a sense of a sitter's inner life made him a favored portraitist among high-ranking figures and royalty across Europe, as well as among his fellow artists and art enthusiasts. Showcasing the full range of Van Dyck's fascinating international career with more than 100 works, this catalogue celebrates the artist's versatility, inventiveness, and influential approach to portraiture. Works include preparatory drawings and oil sketches that shed light on Van Dyck's working process, prints that allowed his work to reach a wider audience, and grand painted portraits. Some of the masterpieces are drawn from the exceptional holdings of The Frick Collection, while other works are presented here for the first time. Also included are drawings by some of Van Dyck's contemporaries--including his teacher Peter Paul Rubens--that illuminate the lineage of his working method. With insightful contributions by a team of international scholars, this unparalleled study of Van Dyck offers a compelling case for the distinctiveness and importance of the artist's work.

Extending Offender Mobility

Investigating Mobile Offenders Through the Case Study of 'itinerant Crime Groups'

By: Stijn Van Daele

Environmental criminology brings together a range of theories and areas for study. One of these domains is the study of offender mobility: how offenders move to (and sometimes from) crime sites, how they select their targets, where they start, the distance they cover, and the direction they move in. Inspired by routine activity theory, rational choice perspectives, and pattern theory, as well as principles of human ecology and foraging behavior, offender mobility studies have come to a number of recurrent findings. However, most of these studies use similar data samples and settings, as they deal with local offenders operating in urban neighborhoods. This book extends this line of research by examining another sample in another setting. Through the study of so-called 'itinerant crime groups' in Belgium, the mobility of a sample of foreign offenders is investigated in a nation-wide setting. Mobility patterns of these offenders are studied through a variety of methods and techniques, including quantitative and qualitative analyses of crime statistics, case files, and offender interviews.

Internering anders belicht

By: Natalie Aga,Kurt Audenaert,Sara Rowaert,Els Schipaanboord,Tom Vander Beken,Freya Vander Laenen,Wouter Vanderplasschen,Stijn Vandevelde,Sofie Van Roeyen,Ciska Wittouck

Dit boek is het resultaat van twee projecten. Een eerste project was erop gericht om gedurende vijf jaar (2014-2019) met elf onderzoekers uit drie faculteiten van de Universiteit Gent wetenschappelijk onderzoek te verrichten om sterktegerichte strategieën te ontwikkelen voor mensen onder een interneringsstatuut en hun familie. In het onderzoeksproject stond wat zij als mensen kunnen en willen centraal, eerder dan waar zij niet toe in staat zijn of welk risico zij zouden kunnen betekenen. Een tweede project werd uitgewerkt door Natalie Aga en Lieven Nollet. Zij vonden elkaar in een idee voor een bijzonder fotoproject rond mensen onder een interneringsstatuut en hun familie. Geboeid door een benadering met de klemtoon op sterktes, zag Lieven samen met Natalie mogelijkheden voor een studie met geheel nieuwe en andere beelden van mensen onder een interneringsstatuut. De meesten onder hen zitten immers niet opgesloten in een beveiligde omgeving maar proberen hun leven, vaak na een periode van fysieke vrijheidsberoving, verder te zetten en uit te bouwen. Dit boek is dan ook zowel een verslag van een wetenschappelijk project als van een fotoproject, met één gemeenschappelijke dragende lijn: mensen onder een interneringsstatuut en hun familie zijn ook sterke mensen van wie de verhalen en beelden mogen worden gehoord en gezien. Alle teksten zijn ook in het Engels opgenomen in het boek.
