Miraculous Realism
An authoritative study of this postsecular film movement from the French-Belgian border region that rose to prominence at the turn of the twenty-first century. At the 1999 Cannes Film Festival, two movies from northern-Francophone Europe swept almost all the main awards. Rosetta by the Walloon directors Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne won the Golden Palm, and L’humanité by the French director Bruno Dumont won the Grand Prize; both won acting awards as well. Taking this “miracle” of Cannes as the point of departure, Niels Niessenidentifies a transregional film movement in the French-Belgian border region—the Cinéma du Nord or “cinema of the North.” He examines this movement within ...
Confronting the Yugoslav Controversies
This book presents the findings of an international research initiative of over 160 leading historians, social scientists, and jurists that brings together in one volume key evidence presented by all sides in the recent Yugoslav conflicts. It represents a direct assault on the proprietary interpretations that nationalist politicians and media have impressed on mass culture in each of the entities of the former Yugoslavia. Given gaps in the historical record and the existence of sometimes-contradictory evidence, the volume does not pretend to resolve all of the outstanding issues that divide the peoples of the former Yugoslavia. Yet, a combination of original research, the validation of existing evidence, and the exposure of widely held, bogus myths that anchor public perceptions should narrow considerably the parameters within which opposing sides can still engage in reasoned debate.
Narrating Europe
Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes haben eine Reihe von Reden von Spitzenpolitikern zur europäischen Integration aus einer großen Zeitspanne (1946-2020) analysiert, wobei sie jede Rede in ihren zeitgeschichtlichen Kontext gestellt und in den biographischen Hintergrund des Redners eingeordnet haben. Die vergleichende Analyse zeigt, dass es notwendig ist, wieder zu entdecken, dass das Ideal des europäischen Einigungswerks genauso spannend sein kann wie andere nationale geschichtliche Kontroversen. Angesichts eines grassierenden Euroskeptizismus kann eine historische Einordnung und Kontextualisierung der Rolle der Kommunikation der europäischen Integration ein nützliches Instrumentar...
A History of Political Trials
"This is a formidable and well-documented counterblast to a developing modern orthodoxy, expressing a point of view that many readers will not even have suspected existed, let alone read."--Anthony Daniels, Spectator "A useful and controversial contribution to the debate about victor's justice, and a valuable warning that international war crimes tribunals need to operate with precision and care."--Jonathan Steele, Guardian The rapid development of the use of international courts and tribunals to try heads of state for genocide and other crimes against humanity has been welcomed by most people, because they think that the establishment of international tribunals and courts to try notorious d...
Defending French in Flanders, 1873–1974
This book examines the efforts of the French-speaking minority in Flanders, Belgium, to maintain a legal and social presence of the French language in Flemish public life. Chronologically, the study is bookended by two developments, almost exactly a century apart. In 1873, the first laws were passed which required the use of Dutch in some aspects of public administration in Flanders, challenging the de facto use of French among the Flemish ruling class. One hundred and one years later, the last French daily newspaper in Flanders collapsed, marking the end of a once-vibrant French-language public sphere in Flanders. The author contends that the methods and arguments by which French speakers d...
Mark Rutte
In 2006 won Mark Rutte de lijsttrekkersstrijd van de VVD maar nét van Rita Verdonk. In de partij bleven er daarna zoveel twijfels over hem dat hij in 2009 bijna door het hoofdbestuur naar huis werd gestuurd en in 2010 ook niet de officiële premierskandidaat mocht zijn van de VVD. Tien jaar later lijkt zijn positie onaantastbaar, en niet alleen in de VVD.0In 'Mark Rutte' laat 'NRC'-journalist Petra de Koning zien wat hem maakte tot wie hij is, hoe zijn manier van denken en doen zich ontwikkelde. En misschien ook wel vooral al die jaren hetzelfde bleef.0Hoe kan het dat iemand die bekend kwam te staan als politicus-zonder-opvattingen, die met rechts en links regeerde, een rij van verkiezingsb...
Adjuvant Therapy of Breast Cancer V
We often hear physicians, health care professionals, poli ticians, and patient advocates that "nothing has happened in the treatment of breast cancer," since patients with breast cancer, the most frequent neoplastic condition in women in industrialized countries, are continuing to suffer relapse and succumb to this dreadful disease! This negativistic attitude does not seem to be justified, but, why is the transmission of clinical trial results into general practice, and with it progress, such a slow process? After many decades of frustrating stagnation of long-term survival expectations, in all stages of early, oper/lble breast cancer treated only by surgery and locoregional radio therapy, a...
De gelukkigste man van Nederland
Wie is de echte Mark Rutte? Who cares? Interessanter dan hoe Rutte uitgroeide tot de onaantastbare premier die hij nu is (of waar en met wie hij met vakantie gaat), is de vraag wat het zegt dat Nederland zich al een decennium laat leiden door een politicus die er prat op gaat geen langetermijnvisie te hebben en geen grote overtuigingen. Heeft Nederland die dan ook niet? In De gelukkigste man van Nederland schrijft Joost de Vries over hoe politiek onze cultuur beïnvloedt - en omgekeerd. In speelse, wervelende essays over onder meer Mark Rutte en Badr Hari, Voetbal Inside en De luizenmoeder, Rutger Bregman en Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer portretteert De Vries een land dat graag klaagt, maar als het...
