Leiden University Press is delighted to present its Spring 2012 catalogue.The new LUP Academic titles reflect scholarship in various fields of research: political science, art and literature, codicology, philosophy and physics. Furthermore, we are very pleased to inaugurate two new LUP series: Islam & Society and Human Evolution, a series that Spinoza Prize-winning archaeologist Wil Roebroeks is launching in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute, Leipzig.

Now at the start of its third year, the list of titles at Leiden University Press shows continuous growth:• The LUP list reflects the interdisciplinary approach promoted by

Leiden University, crossing the borders of traditional research areas.

• In addition to LUP Academic, the list is moving in new directions with peer-reviewed imprints such as LUP Textbooks (see our textbooks on Classical and Modern Chinese), LUP General, and LUP Reference. Further developments are slated for 2012.

• LUP publishes a number of titles supported by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) in the Open Access Library of OAPEN.org.

• LUP Journals publishes a third open access e-journal on Turkish Studies.

• LEIDEN Publications is an additional imprint for books that are targeted to a wider audience. These titles are not peer-reviewed but are nevertheless of high quality. Gedachten op papier, a booklet about De Gheyn’s drawings by art historian Gert Jan van der Sman, and the Energy Survival Guide by physics professor Jo Hermans, the writer of witty pieces on physics in daily life, illustrate the quality of this new imprint.

From our place at the heart of the university, Leiden University Press continues to be inspired by the image of the reading Pallas as we go forward to disseminate international research of the highest quality and scholarly work aimed at reaching the widest audience. We invite you to follow us at www.lup.nl and on Facebook for our backlist and new titles.

Frits van der Meer, Caspar van den Berg and Gerrit Dijkstra De ambtenaar in een veranderend openbaar bestuurNaar een inhoudelijke en juridische herpositionering van ambtenaren in internationaal perspectief

The civil servant’s place within public administration is a frequent subject of discussion. Not only is their legal position a matter of debate, but also their position relative to politics and society. In this book the authors examine the position of the civil servant based on a historical analysis (from the early 19th century to contemporary new public management and joined-up government) and an international comparison (the debate and experiences of the other EU member states).This analysis shows that the current and future multi-level governance state requires a type of civil servant who confidently serves the political and societal spheres, grounded in his or her profes-sionalism. From this insight follows that a ‘new-style civil-servant status’ is needed, with greater attention to public law arrangements regarding issues such as integrity, morality, political neutrality and the protection of civil service professionalism from political and management arbitrariness.

Hermeneutics and the Humanities

Dialogues with Hans-Georg Gadamer

Hans-Georg Gadamer’s Wahrheit und Methode (1960) is one of the most influential books on interpretation to have appeared in the past half century. Scholars across the humanities have applied, discussed, and criticized its hermeneutical insights. This volume aims to continue this conversation between hermeneutics and the humanities, but also tries to map Gadamer’s influence on the humanities so far. In which domains of study has Wahrheit und Methode made its greatest impact? Where and for which reasons have other disciplines hardly engaged with Gadamer’s work? In a more pragmatic sense, the volume also suggests possibilities for further interaction between Gadamer and the humanities. Written by an international team of authors, this bilingual collection of essays (English and German) is essential reading for scholars throughout the humanities interested in issues of methodology, theory, and philosophy.

Madeleine Kasten, Herman Paul, and

Rico Sneller are lecturers at Leiden University.

DéJà VuHerhaling in culturen wereldwijd

Repetition has a major role in human culture. In lullabies and prayers, in protests and war cries: from the cradle to the grave, repetition is the companion to life’s essentials. In a constantly revolving world there is no pure repetition. Events never repeat themselves precisely. This is equally true of repetition in Literature and Art, where the use of repetition is varied and frequent. How does repetition work? And how can it be of use?

Déjà Vu unravels these questions in fifteen chapters ranging from film remakes and Baudelaire to the offer of Abraham and David Lodge, Small World. Déjà Vu shows that repetition has been used worldwide through all times and cultures in visual arts, poetry, music, literature and motion pictures.

assemblages, the models of local evolution, diffusion, and stimulus diffusion are tested against the archaeological record of the Middle Danube region that shows a variability of EUP technocomplexes (Szeletian, Bohunician, Aurignacian). The results suggest that the development of the Szeletian is not an independent process but rather results from diffusion at the time of the modern human dispersal into Europe as manifested by the Bohunician.

Wil Roebroeks (ed.)

l u p a c a d e m i c

How did humans evolve? Why do we have

such large brains, and how can we af-

ford the high energetic costs? The con-

tributors to this volume focus on the

suggestion that ‘we are what we eat’,

and that diet played a role in the evo-

lution of a number of distinctive human

characteristics. The volume draws to-

gether results from a wide range of

disciplines, for example, studies of

foraging activities of hunter-gatherers

compared with primates, the energy

requirements of extinct hominins, the

energetics of reproduction for female ho-

minins, evidence for hominin diets from

bone chemistry, and the archaeology of

Neandertal foraging behaviour. Perhaps

more importantly, this volume shows

that a focus on diet provides an excellent

opportunity to integrate these diverse

sources of evidence with models of human

evolution.

NEW SERIES AT LEIDEN UNIVERSITY PRESS

The Early Upper Palaeolithic (EUP) record throughout Europe is characterized by major changes in human behavior. Different models explaining these changes and the emergence of the EUP have been proposed over the past decades. The research presented in this volume focuses on answering the question of whether the EUP changes in human behavior are due to local evolution or diffusion processes.

The Archaeology of the First Farmer-Herders in Egypt

The Archaeology of the First Farmer-Herders in Egypt explores how and why farming and herding started in a particular time period in a particular region of Egypt. The earliest Neolithic farming in combination with herding in Egypt is known in the Fayum, which is a large oasis with a permanent lake in the Egyptian Western Desert. Farming and herding started at the transition from the Epipalaeolithic to Neolithic in the 6th millennium cal.BC owing to the arrival of Levantine domesticates. The Neolithic farmer-herders in the Fayum relied heavily on hunting and fishing, which had been the major subsistence activities since the Epipalaeolithic period. There are no remains of substantial dwellings to indicate that these farmer-herders lived a sedentary way of life. Previous researchers have thus asserted that the Fayum people were nomadic and moved seasonally. Noriyuki Shirai’s research on lithic artefacts used by the Epipalaeolithic hunter-fishers and Neolithic farmer-herders in the Fayum gives a clue as to the mobility and residential strategy of the Fayum people and their time and labour investments in tool production. Lithic evidence suggests that the Fayum people were not nomadic but were tethered to lakeshores. The introduction of farming and herding would not have taken place in the Fayum without a lakeshore-tethered if not fully sedentary way of life. But the success of a farming-herding way of life in the Fayum would not have been possible without the reorganisation of mobility, which led to decreased moves of residential bases and increased logistical moves of individuals. Lithic evidence also suggests that the Fayum People kept exerting special efforts to make farming and herding reliable subsistence and to maximise the yield. The introduction of farming and herding in the Fayum would have been a solution to mitigate growing population/resource imbalances when the climate became drier and more people had to aggregate around permanent water sources in the 6th millennium cal.BC.

Rethinking Ostia:

A Spatial Enquiry into the Urban Society of Rome’s Imperial Port-Town

Rethinking Ostia presents an archaeological and spatial approach to Roman urbanism, focused on Rome’s port city. This ‘spatial investigation’, offers a detailed insight into the past society and the built environment of this port town. A reconstruction of the city block Insula ii’s development over the first three centuries AD reveals the way everyday life was structured in the city, and how this evolved over time in response to internal and external influences on the lives of its inhabitants.

Books before print – manuscripts – were modified continuously throughout the medieval period. New scripts and materials were introduced and scribes crafted new tools that helped the reader find his way in the book, such as running titles and chapter numbers. In the ninth and twelfth centuries such changes are pronounced and perhaps more evident than in other times. This volume explores such changes as well as the varying circumstances under which handwritten books from the ninth and twelfth centuries were produced, used and collected. An important theme that runs through this volume is the relationship between the physical book and its users. Can we reflect on readers and reading practices through an examination of the layout of a text? How and to what extent can we use the contents of libraries to understand the culture of the book? The volume explores such issues by focusing on a broad palette of texts and through a detailed analysis of manuscripts from all corners of Europe.

Photography is clearly not a mirror of daily life: that images are constructions is especially obvious in19th-century studio portrait photography. This book explores how indigenous Iranian photographers constructed their own realities in contrast to how foreign photographers constructed Iranians’ realities.Through an in-depth comparative visual analysis of 19th-century Iranian portrait photography and Persian painting, the author arrives at the insight that aesthetic preferences correlate with socio-cultural habits and practices in writing, reading and looking. Subsequently, she advocates for a place in a global history of photography for those unknown, local photo histories (such as the Iranian one) and for the indigenous photographers who produced them.

International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS) prize winner 2011

The Rubáiyát by the Persian poet ‘Umar Khayyæm (1048-1131) is used in contemporary Iran as a resistance literature, symbolizing the secularist voice in cultural debates. While Islamic fundamentalists criticize Khayyæm as an atheist and materialist philosopher who questions God’s creation and the promise of reward or punishment in the hereafter, secularist intellectuals see in him an example of a scientist who scrutinizes the mysteries of the world. Others see a spiritual master, a Sufi, who guides people to the truth. This volume collects eighteen essays on the history of the reception of ‘Umar Khayyæm in various literary traditions, exploring how his philosophy of doubt, carpe diem, hedonism, and in vino veritas has inspired generations of poets, novelists, painters, musicians, calligraphers and film-makers.

Opinions on Islam in delicate debates seem readily formed, but what are they based on? This book highlights some of the nagging questions from policymakers like Job Cohen, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer and Nikolaos van Dam who face complex issues in their day-to-day operations. It shows that the picture of Islam is often distorted. Delicate Debates on Islam offers the reader academic responses by researchers like John Esposito, Dalia Mogahed to a selection of hotly-contested issues including democracy, the position of women and human rights. The book addresses the relation between academics

and policymakers in a debate dominated by media and politics that will continue to dominate in the years to come.

Before the birth of Rembrandt, Leiden was already home to another exception-ally talented artist: Jacques de Gheyn II. As a late 16th-century citizen, De Gheyn stood at the cradle of the Golden Age. While drawing, De Gheyn explored the fickleness of nature and the “Grounds for Art”, and consequently his voice had a presence in the scientific community with scholars such as Carolus Clusius and Hugo de Groot. As a creative artist Jaques de Gheyn was both versatile and inimitable. His drawings of animals and flowers were true-to-nature, but he also interlaced the world of nature with fantasy by drawing ghostly apparitions, for example in his most famous drawing: Preparation for the Witch Sabbath.

If we are to describe the Japanese culture in one word, the word kawaii, or “cuteness” is most apt. “Cuteness” is ubiquitous. It dominates the street scene and public places like train stations and offices. Well-known exponents of Japanese cuteness are the trendy “Gothic Lolitas”, the fashionable “Lolitas” and the world-famous character of Hello Kitty. In Japan “cuteness” is no longer reserved for children, schoolgirls and women. Men and even the police in Japan have embraced it as part of their everyday lives. Japan is no longer the country of cherry blossoms and geisha. Modern Japan is ‘Cool Japan’, and cool can very well be “cute”.

This is the first publication in Dutch on the phenomenon of the Japanese

culture of cuteness. Published in collaboration with the Japanese museum SieboldHuis in Leiden for the “kawaii/cute” theme and exhibition “Hello Kitty, Hello Holland”.

Alternatives for the post-fossil-fuel era are reviewed. Can solar energy provide the entire world’s electricity? Should we stop building nuclear power plants after Fukushima? Why don’t we use wave power? Do huge windmills really make sense? How much do I save by installing double glazing? What’s wrong with electric cars? To these kind of questions, and many more, the Energy Survival Guide provides the answers. Talking about energy without using numbers is futile. The Energy Survival Guide is a guide for all of us facing rising energy costs. It comes to the rescue of anyone who wants to know the facts. It makes the world of energy accessible to all.

Het onderwijsrecht is een tamelijk onbekend specialisme. Dat is verbazing-wekkend. Iedereen in Nederland komt op een of andere wijze met onderwijs in aanraking: als leerling of student, als ouder, docent of anderszins. Onderwijs is van wezenlijk belang voor de ontwikkeling van mensen, voor de overdracht van kennis, van normen en waarden, van cultuur. Onderwijs is essentieel voor de economie van ons land. In het onderwijs gaat veel belastinggeld om. Toch is de belangstelling voor de juridische kant van het onderwijs, het onderwijsrecht, niet erg groot. Ook de kennis van het onderwijsrecht zowel bij de overheid als bij de universiteiten en hogescholen laat te wensen over.

Binnen het onderwijsrecht is het hoger onderwijsrecht een superspecialisme, nog onbekender dan het onderwijsrecht in het algemeen. Over het hoger onder-wijs is veel gepubliceerd maar over de juridische kant van het hoger onderwijs betrekkelijk weinig, uitgezonderd een enkel gevoelig onderwerp zoals de numerus fixus en de gewogen loting.

In de onderhavige studie staat de vraag centraal of de onderlinge bevoegd-heidsverdeling van overheid en instellingen voor hoger onderwijs binnen de constitutionele uitgangspunten van het Nederlands bestel nog wel adequaat is en of de zelfstandigheid van die instellingen ten opzichte van de overheid kan worden vergroot zonder afbreuk te doen aan de verantwoordelijkheid van de overheid zoals deze naar thans heersende opvattingen wordt gezien. Voor de beantwoording van deze vraag wordt in deze studie het geldende hoger onder-wijsrecht en met name de belangrijkste bron daarvan, de Wet op het hoger onderwijs en wetenschappelijk onderzoek (WHW), thematisch beschreven en geanalyseerd. Een nevendoelstelling van deze studie is meer bekendheid te geven aan en meer inzicht te verschaffen in het hoger onderwijsrecht.

De suggesties die in dit boek zijn gedaan, zijn geconcretiseerd in een proeve van een Wet op het hoger onderwijs en onderzoek met bijbehorende memorie van toelichting, die als bijlage is toegevoegd.

Dit is een boek in de Meijers-reeks. De reeks valt onder verantwoordelijkheid van het E.M. Meijers Instituut van de Faculteit der Rechtsgeleerdheid van de Universiteit Leiden. De studie werd verricht in het kader van het facultaire onderzoeksprogramma Hervorming van sociale regelgeving.

leiden universit y pressLUP

In Transforming for Europe. �e reshaping of national bureaucracies in a system of multi-level governance, Caspar van den Berg explores the implications of the increasingly multi-level nature of governance for the French, British and Dutch national bureaucracies.Power and competencies in Western Europe are shared by various layers of government as well as multiple types of state and non-state actors. What does this mean for the organisation and func-tioning of national bureaucracies?While the civil service has become less bureaucratic (in the Weberian sense) in some respects, it is more bureaucratic in others: task-separation and record-keeping for oversight have increased, while permanence of o�ce and political neutrality in various places have decreased.�e eu is not a single direct source to any of these developments yet its presence is certainly felt and cross-national distinction is less stark. Nevertheless, deeply ingrained national structures and cultures have thus far prevented the convergence of national bureaucracies into a single European administrative model.

Caspar van den Berg (1980) studied International Relations at the London School of Economics and has a PhD from Leiden Univer-sity. He currently works as an assistant professor at Leiden Univer-sity and as a public management consultant at Berenschot.

In 2006 Leiden University has initiated a series Leiden Dissertations at Leiden Univer-sity Press. This series a�ords an opportunity to those who have recently obtained their doctorate to publish the results of their doctoral research so as to ensure a wide distribution among colleagues and the interested public. The dissertations will become available both in printed and in digital versions. Books from this LUP series can be ordered through www.lup.nl. The large majority of Leiden dissertations from 2005 onwards is available digitally on www.dissertation.leidenuniv.nl.
