The Chaplain-Researcher
In March 2016 the Dutch Case Studies Project began in which about fifty chaplains participated as co-researchers in collecting practice-based evidence on what chaplains aim for, how they pursue it, and with what results. The chaplain-researchers produced case studies which were discussed collaboratively in research communities which were chaired by academic researchers. The engagement of chaplains in research can be understood from the development in the profession of integrating research into chaplaincy. While it is presumed that research benefits chaplains’ practices, so far the impact of research on chaplains’ practice had not been studied. Based on mixed-methods (observation, interviews, survey, focus groups), this dissertation describes, analyzes and reflects on the perceived change of chaplains’ professionalism as a result of their participation in the Case Studies Project. This practical theological research provides insight in the value of the double role of chaplain-researcher for chaplains’ professionalism.
Contemporary Legend
First published in 1996. For most of the time since the Grimm brothers first contrasted the fairy tale (Märchen) and the legend (Sage), the former has enjoyed the greater reputation among folklorists. Only in recent years, and with the work of such scholars as Gillian Bennett and Paul Smith, has it been recognized that—both as art and as news—the legend is now central to contemporary culture in a way that the Märchen no longer is. The present book is the first collection of essays on legend to appear in English since 1971. Nevertheless, its publication consolidates a gradual shift which has taken place over the last two decades, in which English-language scholarship has taken the lead in the study of certain kinds of legends—variously dubbed modern horror legends, urban legends, urban myths or, here, contemporary legends.
Bloot zijn en beginnen
Kristien Hemmerechts was in de jaren ’80 en ’90 van de vorige eeuw de bekendste, meest geliefde en meest gehate schrijfster van België. Met "Bloot zijn en beginnen" werd voor het eerst een heel boek gewijd aan haar en haar boeken. In de eerste twee hoofdstukken wordt de schijnwerper op de schrijfster zelf gericht: eerst gezien door de ogen van haar vrienden, bekenden en familieleden, later door de ogen van pers en critici. Het grootste deel van het boek wordt in beslag genomen door een chronologische analyse van haar werk, de thema’s, verbindingslijnen en ontwikkelingen. Helder en toegankelijk wordt gewezen op de diepgang in het werk van een schrijfster die vaak werd weggewuifd als een mediaverschijnsel. Mark Cloostermans (1977) studeerde Nederlandse en Engelse literatuur. Hij werkte als journalist en recensent, totdat hij naar Spanje verhuisde. In Barcelona is hij actief als grant consultant en schreef de stadsgids "The 500 hidden secrets of Barcelona". In 2020 debuteerde hij als romanschrijver met "De terugkeer", het eerste boek in een reeks misdaadromans rond detective Henri Conscience.
