Narratives of Low Countries History and Culture
This edited collection explores the ways in which our understanding of the past in Dutch history and culture can be rethought to consider not only how it forms part of the present but how it can relate also to the future. Divided into three parts – The Uses of Myth and History, The Past as Illumination of Cultural Context, and Historiography in Focus – this book seeks to demonstrate the importance of the past by investigating the transmission of culture and its transformations. It reflects on the history of historiography and looks critically at the products of the historiographic process, such as Dutch and Afrikaans literary history. The chapters cover a range of disciplines and approac...
The Dawn of Dutch
The Low Countries are famous for their radically changing landscape over the last 1,000 years. Like the landscape, the linguistic situation has also undergone major changes. In Holland, an early form of Frisian was spoken until, very roughly, 1100, and in parts of North Holland it disappeared even later. The hunt for traces of Frisian or Ingvaeonic in the dialects of the western Low Countries has been going on for around 150 years, but a synthesis of the available evidence has never appeared. The main aim of this book is to fill that gap. It follows the lead of many recent studies on the nature and effects of language contact situations in the past. The topic is approached from two different angles: Dutch dialectology, in all its geographic and diachronic variation, and comparative Germanic linguistics. In the end, the minute details and the bigger picture merge into one possible account of the early and high medieval processes that determined the make-up of western Dutch.

Research Ethics for Students in the Social Sciences
This open access textbook offers a practical guide into research ethics for undergraduate students in the social sciences. A step-by-step approach of the most viable issues, in-depth discussions of case histories and a variety of didactical tools will aid the student to grasp the issues at hand and help him or her develop strategies to deal with them. This book addresses problems and questions that any bachelor student in the social sciences should be aware of, including plagiarism, data fabrication and other types of fraud, data augmentation, various forms of research bias, but also peer pressure, issues with confidentiality and questions regarding conflicts of interest. Cheating, ‘free riding’, and broader issues that relate to the place of the social sciences in society are also included. The book concludes with a step-by-step approach designed to coach a student through a research application process.
Vrijheid, Gelijkheid en Broederschap
In Frankrijk zorgde de revolutie van 1789 voor een keerpunt in de geschiedenis, waarbij de adel en de kerk plaats moesten maken voor de burger. Na de inval door de Fransen in 1795 werd door de patriotten ook in Nederland een eind gemaakt aan de macht van de aristocraten en stadhouder Prins Willem V. Tijdens de Bataafse Omwenteling van 1795 werd onder de leus ‘vrijheid, gelijkheid en broederschap’ stemrecht verleend aan mannen die hadden verklaard ‘een onveranderlijke af keer te hebben van het stadhouderlijk bewind, de aristocratie, het federalisme en de regeringloosheid.’ Prinsgezinden, andersdenkenden en vrouwen werden van stemrecht uitgesloten. Voordien hadden alleen grondeigenaren...

Griezelig gewoon
Hedendaagse Nederlandse auteurs putten naar hartenlust uit het repertoire van de 'gothic novel'. In dit boek analyseert Agnes Andeweg zes gotieke romans van auteurs als Frans Kellendonk, Gerard Reve, Thomas Rosenboom en Renate Dorrestein. Deze romans laten zich lezen als een commentaar op de moderniseringen van de Nederlandse samenleving in de jaren zestig en zeventig. Op grond van deze analyses kan het bestaande beeld van de Nederlandse roman in de jaren tachtig bijgesteld worden. Literatuur uit die periode is wel beschuldigd van een gebrek aan engagement. Gelezen door de lens van het gotieke blijken de hier gepresenteerde romans niet onmaatschappelijk te zijn, maar juist zeer betrokken bij de fricties over nieuwe definities van sekse, seksualiteit, sociale mobiliteit, vriendschap en religie.
Evart van Dieren
This remarkablpe title describes the life of one of Holland’s most remarkable figures: medical practitioner Van Dieren (1861-1940), Amsterdammer and prolific writer who caused quite a stir in his days. The author recounts the life and times of Van Dieren in the form of a series of narratives about the fights of this Dutch Don Quixote with his particular windmills. Individual chapters deal with his life, work, personal style, friendships and enmities, his discussions with psychoanalysts, socialists, scientists and above all of his tragic-comical failures. Unique source material is used to reconstruct this picture, such as the correspondence between Van Dieren and a large number of well-known Dutchmen, including novelist Van Eeden, Nobel laureate C.Eijkman, the philosopher Bolland, politician De Savornin Lohman, Queen Emma, and many others. Marginality and non-conformity are the key themes that run through the life of this observer which made him one of the most successful failures in Dutch history.
Master of Galactic Astronomy: A Biography of Jan Hendrik Oort
This accessible and entertaining biography chronicles the life and triumphs of astronomer Jan Hendrik Oort, who helped lay the foundations of modern astronomy in the 20th century. The book puts into context some of Oort's most significant achievements, including his discovery that the Milky Way rotates, as well as his famous hypothesis that our Solar System is surrounded by a reservoir of comets — now simply known as the Oort Cloud. Written by Oort’s former student, this fascinating story also delves into Oort’s pivotal role in the foundation of major astronomical facilities, including radio telescopes in the Netherlands and the European Southern Observatory (ESO), which now operates t...
