Wat kunnen we leren van de Griekse democratie? Waarom kondigt zich reeds in de late middeleeuwen onomkeerbaar de moderne tijd aan? Is de verwarring van Hamlet ook de onze? Of waarom net niet? Is het decadentisme van het hoofdpersonage in Tegen de Keer van Huysmans eigentijds of out of place? En wat kan Heart of Darkness van Joseph Conrad ons leren in tijden van dekolonisering? Wat was de invloed van het koloniale imperialisme op onze geschiedenis? Wat vertellen fenomenen als het pretpark van Coney Island ons over de moderniteit?In Cultuurgeschiedenis. Een handboek reis je door de westerse cultuurgeschiedenis, van de Griekse democratie tot aan de crisis van het postmodernisme. Dit didactisch opgevatte handboek op inleidend niveau besteedt aandacht aan de belangrijkste culturele ontwikkelingen binnen die cultuurgeschiedenis en hun verwevenheid met hun politieke, sociale en economische context. Daarbij wordt geenszins encyclopedische volledigheid nagestreefd. Elk tijdsgewricht wordt vanuit een specifieke culturele invalshoek belicht: via romans, schilderijen, theater, films stap je een tijdsgewricht binnen. Doorheen het boek wordt bijzondere aandacht besteed aan de hedendaagse relevantie van transhistorische ontwikkelingen binnen de cultuurgeschiedenis. Ook de historische bepaaldheid van het ‘historisch spreken’ zelf vormt een belangrijk aandachtspunt.Cultuurgeschiedenis. Een handboek is niet het definitieve overzicht van de westerse cultuurgeschiedenis. Het is wel een didactisch instrument dat zich richt op beginnende studenten in het hoger onderwijs (kunsten, geesteswetenschappen, journalistiek e.a.)

Debating civilisations offers an up-to-date evaluation of the re-emerging field of civilisational analysis, tracing its main currents and comparing it to rival paradigms such as Marxism, globalisation theory and postcolonial sociology. The book suggests that civilisational analysis offers an alternative approach to understanding globalisation, one that focuses on the dense engagement of societies, cultures, empires and civilisations in human history. Building on Castoriadis’s theory of social imaginaries, it argues that civilisations are best understood as the products of routine contacts and connections carried out by anonymous actors over the course of long periods of time. It illustrates this argument through case studies of modern Japan, the Pacific and post-Conquest Latin America (including the revival of indigenous civilisations), exploring discourses of civilisation outside the West within the context of growing Western imperial power.

Unlike works inherited from Greek or Roman Antiquity, no text of Mesopotamian civilization has come down to us directly. The Onsriologist works from texts inscribed in cuneiform characters on clay tablets. He must reconstitute the texts from fragments, put them in chronological and geographical order to gradually develop a history not only political, but also social, economic and cultural of Mesopotamia. The task is immense and involves a multidisciplinary approach combining archeology and epigraphy, philology and history.
