Through a nuanced exploration of qualitative and quantitative dimensions, the research aims at enhancing grammar learning outcomes. The qualitative aspect employs purposeful sampling, capturing the perspectives of language learners …
Linen Boxes and Slices: Raoul De Keyser and American Modernism in Belgium in the 1960s and 1970s
Before his international breakthrough shortly before the turn of the century, Belgian painter Raoul De Keyser (1930–2012) had a long career that reaches back to the 1960s, when he was associated with Roger Raveel and the so-called Nieuwe Visie (New Vision in Dutch), Belgium’s variation on postwar figurative painting that also entails Anglo-Saxon Pop Art and French nouveau réalisme. Dealing with De Keyser’s works of the 1960s and 1970s, this artic…
A Museum of Moving Images: Mid-Twentieth-Century Art Documentaries on the Louvre
Between the late 1930s and the early 1950s, the Louvre has been the subject of several interesting documentary films that have fallen into oblivion and that have been overlooked by both art-historical and film historical scholarship. This article focuses on four of these films: Louvre curators Jacques Jaujard and René Huyghe’s Rubens et son temps (Rubens and His Era, 1938), Pierre Kast’s Les Femmes du Louvre (Women of the Louvre, 1951), Maurice C…
Photography and the Spatial Transformations of Ghent, 1840-1914
During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the photographic visualization of the Belgian city of Ghent is closely connected to its urban planning. On one hand, the city is transformed according to the logics of industrial modernization with its functional and spatial zoning. On the other hand, the city’s historical heritage is rediscovered and many medieval buildings were preserved and restored. The planning history of Ghent is usually …
Screening Statues: Sculpture and Cinema
This is the first book to focus on the relationship between sculpture and the silver screen. It covers a broad range of magical, mystical and phenomenological interactions between the two media, from early film's eroticized tableaux vivants to enigmatic sculptures in modernist cinema. Sculptures are literally brought to life on the silver screen, while living people are turned into, or trapped inside, statuary. The book examines key sculptural mo…
Frankfurter Slapstick: Benjamin, Kracauer, and Adorno on American Screen Comedy
Scrutinizing the writings by Walter Benjamin, Siegfried Kracauer, and Theodor W. Adorno and connecting them to specific comedy scenes and tropes, this essay explores the fascination for American slapstick comedies and comedians by the philosophers of the Frankfurt School. Although often critical of mass entertainment, Benjamin, Kracauer, and Adorno admired the way slapstick film elevated motion and speed to an art form that answered to the rhythm…
Rethinking Amalek in This 21st Century
Twice in the Hebrew Bible-Exodus 17:14-16 and Deuteronomy 25: 17-19-the ancient Israelites were commanded to "blot out" the memory of Amalek, their enemy for all time (as God intended to do as well). Yet, because these texts are a part of Jewish (and Christian) religious traditions, annually these passages are read in the synagogue on the appropriate Sabbath occasions in the annual reading cycle, and linked to the Festival of Purim that is based …

Testing Cognitive Ethnography: Mixed-Methods in Developing Indicators of Well-Being in Fishing Communities
Research was initiated in 2008 with the objective of developing social indicators for well-being of fishing communities. Initial steps included development and testing indicators for the concepts of dependence, gentrification, vulnerability, and resiliency in relation to nine fishing communities on the Texas Gulf Coast. Procedurally, a mixed methods design was employed, using quantitative analyses of large secondary data sets to rank coastal comm…
The sculptor’s dream: Tableaux vivants and living statues in the films of Méliès and Saturn
Tableaux vivants, or living pictures, were an important part of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century popular entertainment. In this article, we carefully analyze the presence and function of living pictures and/or statues in two different generic contexts in early cinema to reveal the importance and continuity of nineteenth-century motifs and traditions with regard to tableaux vivants as they were presented on the legitimate stage, in magic, i…

The History and Aesthetics of the Classical Film Still
Dealing with the film still of classical Hollywood films, this article traces the historical development of this photographic genre through an investigation of statements made by 'stillmen' in trade journals such as International Photographer throughout the 1930s and 1940s. In addition, the article discusses the aesthetics of the film still, which implies a specific kind of dealing with light, focus, narrative, time, temporality and the instantan…
Amor Vacui: Photography and the image of the empty city
This article reviews the portrayal of the city in photography as deserted space, from Daguerre to the present day. The photographic rendering of the urban scene as architectonic and unoccupied originated with the early mechanical limitations of the medium. After photography became more sophisticated technically, photographers elected to depict the urban landscape as a ‘void’ for symbolic, aesthetic and artistic purposes. The author places this ph…
