De negatief-polaire uitdrukkingen van het Nederlands

Een lexicon van de Nederlandse woorden en uitdrukkingen die thuishoren in ontkennende zinnen, maar niet in bevestigende hoofzinnen. In Groningen is het (niet) pluis, je hoeft vanavond (niet) te werken, Piet heeft hoegenaamd (n)iets op zijn geweten, Machteld is (g)een gemakkelijke tante, Ik had haar in jaren (niet) gezien: al deze zinnen hebben gemeen dat ze zonder het gedeelte tussen haken niet helemaal kloppen. Dit lexicon stelt ze aan u voor, met tal van voorbeelden uit kranten en boeken, en een toelichting bij de contexten waarin de uitdrukkingen gebruikt kunnen worden, en soms iets over veranderingen die ze in de loop der jaren hebben ondergaan.

Skate/worlds

Skate/worlds brings together writers, educators, and activists who research skateboarding as a prefigurative learning tool. Can skateboarding be therapeutic? Does it align with efforts to queer and decolonise education? And how to parent as a skater? As the ecology of skateboarding expands and diversifies,
the sensation of moving sideways gains socio-political and pedagogical relevance.
This edited volume chronicles how we both learn to skate and learn from skateboarding – zooming in on topics including gestalt therapy, care work, motherhood, and grassroots advocacy.

Reconstructing Mosul
Occupation, destruction and rebuilding

Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, has great historical and cultural significance. After Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi used Mosul’s Al Nuri Mosque to declare the caliphate in 2014, the city was captured and occupied by the Islamic State. After a fierce battle, the city was liberated in 2017, however, large parts of the city, including most of the old city, were completely destroyed. Currently, the city is undergoing reconstruction.
This book focuses on that reconstruction by zooming in on the cultural heritage sites, the residential areas and the camps outside of the city where former residents now live, awaiting their return to the city. This book shines a light on how certain projects are prioritized, how other projects are neglected or postponed, and the consequences for the city’s residents.
