Transit 'Norden' och 'Europa'
The IASS (International Association for Scandinavian Studies) is the international organization for the research of Nordic literature, culture and linguistics. Since 1956 the IASS conference has been organized every other year. In 2016, the 31th IASS conference took place in Groningen (Netherlands). This 2016 conference revolved around the 21st century as an era characterized by dynamics with different implications. These ongoing global transitions are reflected in the humanities; the dichotomy between centre and periphery has invaded the literary discourse. In many small language areas, more translated literature is being published than literature written in the national language. This implies that cultural mediators play a major role in the production of literature. Their efforts are made visible in a transnational approach to the history of literature.

Battles and Borders
Battles and Borders. Perspectives on Cultural Transmission and Literature in Minor Language Areas is about literature on the fringes of Europe. The authors all discuss the often unique ways in which literary history and cultural transfer function in peripheral and central regions against the background of shifting national borders in the last two centuries. Special attention is paid to minority and migrant groups in Northwest Europe. The present volume aims to prompt a reconsideration of the concepts of ‘minority' and ‘migrant' cultures and literatures in the past and the present day. It also suggests a new topic for further study: the importance of cultural transfer for migrant groups (...

Literary Prizes and Cultural Transfer
Literary Prizes and Cultural Transfer addresses the multilevel nature of literary and translation prizes, with the aim of expanding our knowledge about them as an international and transnational phenomenon. The contributions to this book analyse the social, institutional, and ideological functions of such prizes. This volume not only looks at famous prizes and celebrities but also lesser known prizes in more peripheral language areas and regions, with a special focus on cultural transmitters and their networks, which play a decisive role in the award industry. Cultural transfer and translations are at the heart of this book and this approach adds a new dimension to the study of literary and ...

'Mijn Vak Werd Mijn Leven'
Dutch description: Van Marken was de eerste hoogleraar Scandinavistiek aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. Ze was een charismatische en inspirerende leermeester. Ze leidde enkele generaties scandinavisten op en bracht de Groningse Scandinavistiek tot bloei. Als wetenschapper bestreek ze vele terreinen binnen haar vakgebied en bereikte ze een breed publiek. Ze publiceerde in uiteenlopende media, van vooraanstaande internationale wetenschappelijke tijdschriften tot landelijke dagbladen. Ze promoveerde aan de Universiteit van Gent op Knut Hamsun en de vrouwenfiguren in zijn werk (1970) en zorgde er voor dat zijn romans in de jaren zeventig opnieuw in Nederlandse vertaling beschikbaar kwamen. Naast haar werk voor de wetenschap, was ze actief als vertaler van poëzie, drama en non-fictie. Ook in Scandinavië was Van Marken een bekende cultuurpersoonlijkheid. Van 1970 tot 1982 had ze zitting in het presidium van de International Association of Scandinavian Studies. Een portret van een dynamische wetenschapper.
