The first long-durée history of large-scale violence in the Congo Basin
📙 'A Violent History: Power and Conflict in the Congo Basin from the Nineteenth Century to the Present, by Giacomo Macola'
🔗 https://lup.be/book/a-violent-history/

"Giacomo Macola fills a gap in scholarly literature on Central Africa: linking pre-colonial, colonial and the present times, he unravels the long-term mechanisms producing (extreme) violence in this troubled region." - Guy Vanthemsche, Vrije Universiteit Brussel

"A must read for all historians working on the region and on conflicts in Africa." - Karin Pallaver, University of Bologna

"Macola's book represents a fundamental contribution to the understanding of the continuities that characterise the power dynamics in the Congo Basin and that have made it, for over two centuries, one of the most violent areas in the world." - Luca Jourdan, University of Bologna

📕'Transgression in the Architectures of After-Modernity: A Paradigm at Work in Times of Crises, edited by Carmen Popescu

In our era of after-modernity, transgression emerges not just as an act of defiance, but reveals a new paradigm at work – a critical framework for reimagining the built environment, challenging established orders, and advocating for the rights of marginalised populations. Drawing on a rich array of theoretical insights and empirical case studies from multiple countries, this volume provides a unique, forward-looking perspective on transgressive acts in architecture as responses to today’s ecological, political, economic, and social crises.

Available in paperback and Open Access 🔓📗 'London Exile: Metropolis, Modernity, and Artistic Migration, by Burcu Dogramaci
🔗 https://lup.be/book/london-exile/

Dogramaci explores 1930s–40s London as a sanctuary for modern artists. She sheds light on how the arrival of exiles transformed London’s art scene and, conversely, how the experience of displacement and the city shaped the work of émigrés in fields such as art, architecture, and photography.

🗨️ 'London Exile' aims to contribute to a rewriting of the history of modern art and to expose the significance of global connections and cross-border migration movements.

✨ New volume in the 'Figures of the Unconscious' series
📕'Seduction, Drive and Repetition: Freud’s Metaphysics of Trauma', by Herman Westerink, Philippe Van Haute
🔗 https://lup.be/book/seduction-drive-and-repetition/

Trauma runs as a red thread throughout Freud’s oeuvre. It occupies a central position in both his clinical case studies and his meta-psychological speculations. Freud ultimately develops a metaphysics of trauma and a tragic view of human existence – a worldview that continues to resonate within contemporary philosophy and psychoanalysis.

Boekrecensies 📕'Archiefsporen volgen: Een inspiratiegids voor doortastende archiefonderzoekers', Eddy Put
🔗 https://lup.be/book/archiefsporen-volgen/

⭐⭐⭐ "Het aanleren van ‘archiefintelligentie’ bij archiefgebruikers is de beste manier om ervoor te zorgen dat onderzoekers het meeste uit de bronnenrijkdom onder hun handen halen. Want het vinden van informatie is van belang, maar het in context kunnen duiden van het gevondene is minstens zo belangrijk." - Wouter van Dijk, Archievenblad, 2025, nummer 4

⭐⭐⭐ Met een groot inlevingsvermogen en enkele sprekende anecdotes opent Eddy Put deuren en horizonten voor wie wegwijs wil raken in dat onbekend land van de archieven, waarvan velen de taal en de gebruiken niet of nauwelijks kennen. - Vlaamse Stam, jg 61, nr. 3, juli-augustus-september 2025
