Het surrealisme in België. Histoire de ne pas rire is een rijkelijk geïllustreerd wetenschappelijk werk met bijdragen van auteurs die gespecialiseerd zijn in verschillende domeinen (schone kunsten, geschiedenis, literatuur en film). De surrealistische activiteit in België was hedendaags, maar onderscheidde zich van die van de surrealistische groep in Frankrijk. Ze ontwikkelde zich gedurende meer dan zestig jaar. Drie opeenvolgende generaties spanden zich in om een verandering van de wereld tot stand te brengen via taal en representatie, en hielden zich tegelijkertijd ook bezig met de esthetische kernpunten van hun tijd. Dit boek werd gemaakt in het kader van de honderdste verjaardag van het surrealisme (1924–2024) en van de gelijknamige tentoonstelling in Bozar-Paleis voor Schone Kunsten. Het vestigt de aandacht op de beeldende, literaire en poëtische activiteit van deze groep kunstenaars, waartoe onder anderen Paul Nougé, Marcel Mariën, Jane Graverol, Tom Gutt en Rachel Baes behoorden. Artiesten die zich in de kringen rond sleutelfiguren met een grotere internationale bekendheid bewogen – zoals René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, Yves Tanguy, Paul Delvaux en Giorgio de Chirico – maar ze waren net zo essentieel voor de wereld van het surrealisme door de originaliteit en specifieke kenmerken van hun werk.

This substantial and ambitious dictionary explores the languages and cultures of visual studies. It provides the basis for understanding the foundations and motivations of current theoretical and academic discourse, as well as the different forms of visual culture that have come to organize everyday life. The book is firmly placed in the context of the 'visual turn' in contemporary thought. It has been designed as an interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary introduction to the vocabularies and grammars of visuality that inform thinking in the arts and humanities today. It also offers insight into the philosophical frameworks which underpin the field of visual culture. A central theme that runs throughout the entries is the task of moving away from a narrow understanding of visuality inherited from traditional philosophy toward a richer cultural and multi-sensorial philosophy of concrete experience. The dictionary incorporates intertextual links that encourage readers to explore connections between major themes, theories and key figures in the field. In addition the author's introduction provides a comprehensive and critical introduction which documents the significance of the visual turn in contemporary theory and culture. It is accompanied by an extensive bibliography and further reading list. As both a substantive academic contribution to this growing field and a useful reference tool, this book offers a theoretical introduction to the many languages of visual discourse. It will be essential reading for graduate students and scholars in visual studies, the sociology of visual culture, cultural and media studies, philosophy, art history and theory, design, film and communication studies.

In Gardens of Love and the Limits of Morality in Early Netherlandish Art, Andrea Pearson charts the moralization of human bodies in late medieval and early modern visual culture, through paintings by Jan van Eyck and Hieronymus Bosch, devotional prints and illustrated books, and the celebrated enclosed gardens of Mechelen among other works. Drawing on new archival evidence and innovative visual analysis to reframe familiar religious discourses, she demonstrates that depicted topographies advanced and sometimes resisted bodily critiques expressed in scripture, conduct literature, and even legislation. Governing many of these redemptive greenscapes were the figures of Christ and the Virgin Mary, archetypes of purity whose spiritual authority was impossible to ignore, yet whose mysteries posed innumerable moral challenges. The study reveals that bodily status was the fundamental problem of human salvation, in which artists, patrons, and viewers alike had an interpretive stake.
