Rethinking journalism and ideology in contemporary media and political cultures (RejournID). University of Antwerp

Pieter Maeseele
Antwerp Media in Society Centre (AMSoC)
The RejournID project will rethink the relationship between journalism and ideology in contemporary media and political cultures. The concept of ideology has been a longstanding concern of media and communication researchers ever since the Frankfurt School. However, the importance of the concept to the field has been displaced in recent decades, despite a revived interest in ideology among political theorists. This project will reinvigorate the ...

The role of managers in social work: uncovering their ideology and its meaning for social work. Ghent University

Michel Vandenbroeck
Department of Social Work and Social Pedagogy

For the last few decades, the role of managers in social work has increased in unprecedented ways.

In doing so, their leadership styles as well as their ideology (i.e. perception on the use of discretion) seems to play a pivotal role. To date, we can gain insight into their
leaderships styles by building on research from ...

Philippe Crombé
Department of Archaeology

The research proposal consists of the application of the new anthropological paradigm to the study of northern European prehistoric hunter-gatherers with specific focus on the relationship between ecology - the reality of the world in which human beings must survive - and ideology - the human cognition and perception of that world.

Jan Dumolyn

The Excellente Cronike van Vlaenderen is one of the most important, and rather complex, late medieval vernacular manuscript traditions.

Schelling's Philosophical Theology KU Leuven

Henning Tegtmeyer
Centre for Metaphysics, Philosophy of Religion and Philosophy of Culture
Schelling’s philosophy has attracted an increasing scholarly interest recently. What previous genera-tions of philosophers found irritating, i.e., that this philosophy cannot easily be categorized as a vari-ety of German Idealism, is precisely what many contemporary scholars find attractive. For them, Schelling is important not only as a sharp critic of German Idealism but also a precursor of much later philosophical paradigms such as ...

Comparative theology beyond religionization? KU Leuven

Marianne Moyaert
Research Unit of Systematic Theology and the Study of Religions
Throughout history, Christian claims to the uniqueness and finality have been formulated by means of religionized processes of selfing and othering, with the result that the religious other (Jew, Muslim, etc.) was reduced to a hermeneutical or rhetorical figure that exists only in the Christian imagination (Nirenberg, 2014). Where such imaginary constructs are institutionalized and thus acquire power, symbolic violence can lead to real violence ...
