15 November 2011: De woonplaats van de faam

Op donderdag 15 december om 16.15 uur verdedigt Eddy Verbaan zijn proefschrift getiteld: De woonplaats van de faam. Grondslagen van de stadsbeschrijving in de zeventiende-eeuwse Republiek. De promotor is prof.dr. Simon Groenveld en de co-promotor dr. Karel Bostoen. De plechtigheid vindt plaats in de Senaatskamer van het Academiegebouw, Rapenburg 73 te Leiden. Na afloop is er een receptie.  

Samenvatting

In de zeventiende-eeuwse Republiek verschijnen opmerkelijk veel stadsbeschrijvingen: omvangrijke boeken waarin één enkele stad tot in detail voor het voetlicht wordt gebracht. Niet alleen vertellen ze het verhaal van de lotgevallen van de stad, maar ze besteden ook ruim aandacht aan de opvallende gebouwen, de instellingen en de manier waarop de stad wordt bestuurd. De eerste voorbeelden gaan over de Hollandse kopstukken Amsterdam en Leiden en zijn uitgegeven tijdens het Twaalfjarig Bestand (1609-1621). Ze vormen het begin van een eeuwenlange traditie die doorloopt tot de stadsgeschiedenissen van nu.

Dit is de eerste diepgaande studie naar dit verschijnsel in al zijn rijkdom. Aan bod komen de stadsbeschrijvingen zelf en ook de chorografie, stedenlof, reisliteratuur en geschiedwetenschap, die dienden als grondslagen van het genre. Het blijkt dat de beschrijvingsmethode van deze boeken teruggaat op ideeën over het juiste reizen, de geschiedschrijving en het lezen en onthouden van belangrijke lectuur. Die bepaalden de keuze van de onderwerpen, de structuur van het betoog en de nauwkeurige, naar waarheid strevende manier van beschrijven. Die methode gebruikten de stadsbeschrijvers om hun lezers een spiegel voor te houden en om de stad te loven en te prijzen.

Van het proefschrift verschijnt een handelseditie bij Uitgeverij Verloren, ISBN 978-90-8704-246-2, gebonden, €35:

14 November 2011: Lecture Lawrence Venuti and Abdelkader Benali in Nottingham

To mark the launch of the University of Nottingham's new Centre for Translation and Comparative Cultural Studies Lawrence Venuti, Professor of English at Temple University, and Dutch author Abdelkader Benali will give lectures on translation on Thursday 17 November 2011 at 5.15 pm in Clive Granger Building room A48, University Park Campus.

Professor Venuti is a leading authority in translation studies, whose ground-breaking research into the issues of translating cultures has illuminated the impact of power relations - economic, political, and intellectual - on the exchange of ideas and words . His publications include The Translator's Invisibility: A History of Translation (2nd ed., 2008) and The Scandals of Translation: Towards an Ethics of Difference (1998). Professor Venuti also translates from Italian, French, and Catalan; his translations have won numerous prizes, including from the Guggenheim Foundation in 2007 and the Robert Fagles Translation Prize in 2008.

The Lecture will be followed by a reception, after which the prize-winning Moroccan-Dutch writer Abdelkader Benali will speak about his own experience of "being translated". His novels Bruiloft aan zee (Wedding by the Sea, 1996), De langverwachte (2002), and De stem van mijn moeder (My Mother's Voice, 2009) have all been translated in numerous languages.

4 November 2011: The Sound of Kale

The Sound of Kale: 65 Years of Dutch in Cambridge
Het Geluid van Boerenkool: 65 Jaar Nederlands In Cambridge

In 2012 it will be 65 years ago that the teaching of Dutch language and Literature began in the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and it has been part of the Faculty’s provision for all those years. From 1947 to 1977 Dr. Peter King, later assisted by a number of language assistants, taught a full Tripos programme with papers in the History of the Dutch Language, in the Medieval Literature, Thought and History of the Low Countries, in the Literature, Thought and History of the Golden Age of the Republic and in the Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Literature, Thought and History of the Netherlands and Flanders.

Murray Edwards College, Cambridge

Students reading other subjects in the Faculty could learn Dutch by, initially, taking the Certificate in Competent Knowledge in Dutch and later in the Certificate and/or the Diploma in Dutch. This programme continued in effect when Mrs Strietman followed professor King, who took up the Chair in the Department of Dutch Studies in the University of Hull. In 1989 Mrs Erna Eagar joined the Section Dutch, then still part of the Department of Other Languages , where she taught most of the Language Papers and a number of Literary Papers as well. In 2007, as the result of a reorganization in the Faculty the Section Dutch merged with the Department of German. On the retirement of Mrs. Strietman in 2014 it seems likely that the Dutch Section will cease to exist, at least in its present form.

These are the bare bones of 65 years of history but we would like to bring together the individuals who have, over the years, given a very special form to a small part of the Faculty: the students, the assistants, the colleagues. We would like to celebrate those 65 years and we hope that as many alumni, assistants and colleagues as possible will be joining us that day.

A provisional programme has been drawn up:

18 June 2011: Conference on Communication and Exchange

From 19-20 July 2011, the Early Modern Research Centre at the University of Reading will be hosting its annual Conference in Early Modern Studies. The informal theme this year is ‘Communication & Exchange’. The ALCS has generously agreed to sponsor the Dutch presence at this conference, which has been growing steadily over the past few years. This year, the conference will be accompanied by an exhibition with material from the University’s Special Collections and Typography & Graphic Communication collections.

The University of Reading’s Special Collections contains a wealth of material from the Low Countries as well as texts relating to these parts. The Cole Library of printed books and scientific papers on the history of early medicine and zoology and the Overstone Library, a collection of nearly 8000 printed volumes in the humanities and social sciences, are especially strong on Dutch printed books. The majority of material in this exhibition has been brought together to illustrate the role of the Dutch Republic as a hub of knowledge and exchange in the early modern period. Choice pieces include Les voyages de Jean Sruys (Amsterdam, 1681), the travel account of Jan Struys, sail maker employed by the VOC , which was reprinted in many languages in the later seventeenth century, Jan Swammerdam’s Bijbel der Natuure (1737-1738), and Georgius Rumphius’ D'Amboinsche Rariteitkamer (Amsterdam, 1741), as well as works by Junius, Vossius, Huygens, De la Court, Boxhorn, Boerhaave and many others.
In addition to Dutch material, books relating to Anglo-Dutch exchange and competition, cultures of knowledge and printed material from the Ephemera and Otto and Marie Neurath Isotype collections will be on display. The latter is especially rich in early modern material, most notably the extensive series of (continental) battle plans and (Dutch) maps and town plans. This will be a unique opportunity for students of the early modern period to have a first look at this material, which is normally used for typographic research.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a ‘featured item’ on the Special Collections website, which will give an in-depth insight into Les voyages de Jean Sruys and which will be accompanied by photographs of this richly illustrated work. The featured item will be available shortly on the University of Reading’s Special Collections website: http://www.reading.ac.uk/special-collections/. For more information on the conference, exhibit or any of the collections mentioned please contact e.mijers@reading.ac.uk.

22 September 2010: The Dutch Trading Companies as Knowledge Networks

Siegfried Huigen, Jan L. de Jong & Elmer Kolfin (eds.)

• August 2010

• ISBN 978 90 04 18659 0

• Hardback (xxiv, 448 pp., 49 illustrations) • List price EUR 99.- / US$ 141.- • Intersections; 14

For more than a century, from about 1600 until the early eighteenth century, the Dutch dominated world trade. Via the Netherlands the far reaches of the world, both in the Atlantic and in the East, were connected. Dutch ships carried goods, but they also opened up opportunities for the exchange of knowledge. The commercial networks of the Dutch trading companies provided an infrastructure which was accessible to people with a scholarly interest in the exotic world. The present collection of essays brings together a number of studies about knowledge construction that depended on the Dutch trading networks.

Readership: All those interested in the relationship between science and colonialism in the early modern period.

Siegfried Huigen is Associate Professor of Dutch Literature and Cultural History at the University of Stellenbosch, in South Africa. His research interests are early modern travel writing and the history of colonial science and scholarship. He is the author of De weg naar Monomotapa (1996) and Knowledge and Colonialism; Eighteenth-Century Travellers in South Africa (2007 and 2009), and (co)editor of several books on South African politics of memory and colonial discourse. He is currently researching eighteenth-century Dutch representations of the ‘East Indies’.

Jan L. de Jong did his Ph.D. at Leiden University and now teaches Italian Renaissance art at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. He has published numerous articles on Italian painting and has a manuscript on papal propaganda in the Renaissance set for publication. He edited several volumes of Intersections: Interdisciplinary Studies in Early Modern Culture. His current research focuses on reports of visitors to Italy in the sixteenth century.

11 May 2010: Colonial and Post-Colonial Connections in Dutch Literature

CALL FOR PAPERS

Colonial and Post-Colonial Connections in Dutch Literature

The 2011 Berkeley Conference on Dutch Literature

September 15-17, 2011

Dutch literature is more than just literature about a tiny piece of land at the estuary of the Rhine. From the Caribbean to South-Africa, from Southeast-Asia to Western Europe, the Dutch language forms a common bond in a literature that was and is deeply marked by intercultural connections. In recent decades, considerable attention has been given to Dutch colonial and postcolonial literature, but the importance of intercultural connections within the Dutch colonial network has been neglected. What were the cultural and literary networks between Batavia, Galle, Nagasaki, and the Cape Colony? How did the slave trade connect authors in Willemstad and Paramaribo with Gorée and Elmina at the African West Coast? How did Jewish communities link Recife in Dutch Brazil to New Amsterdam on the American East Coast? And how did Amsterdam, Leiden or The Hague function as intellectual intermediaries between the Netherlands and the different colonies?

This pluricentric perspective on Dutch literature remains relevant in modern times. After the colonial era ended, the Dutch language continued to produce literature that fostered intellectual bonds between the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, South Africa, and Western Europe. These intercontinental contacts were even intensified and grew in diversity when three centuries after the first Dutchmen ventured out into the wide world, the world came to the Netherlands. Inhabitants of the former colonies first, followed by immigrants and refugees, transformed the Dutch literary landscape to the point that an international perspective on Dutch literature has become a necessity.

The 2011 Berkeley Conference in Dutch Literature at the University of California, Berkeley, intends to bring together a selection of literary scholars and cultural historians from all over the world to debate Dutch literature within the framework of intercultural connections in Dutch colonial and post-colonial studies. Please send a ca. 500 word abstract for a 20 minute paper to Jeroen Dewulf at jdewulf@berkeley.edu by February 1, 2011. The conference will take place on the UC Berkeley campus and the proceedings will be subsequently published. Details about the conference will be presented shortly on the UC Berkeley Dutch Studies website, dutch.berkeley.edu.

13 January 2010: Visual Physical

Visual Physical
Discourses on Sport and Performance Cultures

The University of Sheffield, UK
1-2 July 2010 (with additional events on 30 June and 3 July)

The School of Modern Languages and Linguistics and the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Sheffield is hosting an international conference on the Visual Physical in world cultures (European, Hispanic, Anglo- and Lusophone, amongst others) in July 2010. We are looking to build on our very successful 2002 'Sporting Cultures' event via a specific focus on the visual dimension of the physical, and broadening the disciplinary base to include sociological, historical, philosophical and anthropological approaches to, for example, cinema, theatre, dance, burlesque and sport.

We would like to invite proposals for papers of 20 minutes' duration on the visual dimension of sport, theatrical and 'leisure' performance, staging, projection and representation. We are particularly interested in cross-cutting discourses and less established perspectives which might illuminate and reinvigorate our understanding of how sport and diverse theatrical and performance arts, as well as other visual interpretations of physical culture, impact on everyday consciousness or challenge traditional notions of behaviour and identity.

Keynote speakers include Professor Lynda Nead (Pevsner Professor of History of Art, Birkbeck, University of London), and Dr George Rodosthenous (School of Performance and Cultural Industries, University of Leeds, UK). The evening before the conference start proper will feature a Mitchell & Kenyon film showing, with musical accompaniment, in conjunction with Dr Vanessa Toulmin (Founder and Director of the National Fairground Archive).

For further information or to submit a proposal, please contact Dr Louise Johnson or Dr David Wood. Proposals of 250–300 words should include name, email, postal address and professional affiliation. Please note the revised deadline for proposals is 1 March 2010 .
