De ongelofelijke successtory van tennis in België
De geschiedenis en de opmars van de tennissport in België.
Regarding the Popular
Regarding the Popular charts the complex relationship between the avant-gardes and modernisms on the one hand and popular culture on the other. Covering (neo-)avant-gardists and modernists from various European countries, this second volume in the series European Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies explores the nature of so-called “low” culture, dealing with aspects as diverse as the everyday and the folkloric. Regarding the Popular charts the many ways in which the allegedly “high” modernists and avant-gardists looked at and represented the “low”. As such, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in the dynamic of modern experimental arts and literatures.
Literature without Frontiers
This volume explores the indispensability of a transnational perspective for the construction and writing of literary histories of the Low Countries from 1200- 1800. It looks at the role of mediators such as translators, printers, and editors, at characteristics of literary genres and the possibilities they offered for literary boundary crossing and adaptation, and at the role of regions and urban centers as multilingual hubs. This collection demonstrates the centrality of transnational perspectives for elucidating the complex inter-relationship between Netherlandic and European literary history. The Low Countries were a dynamic site for new literary production and transnational exchange that shaped and reshaped the intellectual landscape of premodern Europe. Contributors include: Lia van Gemert, Lucas van der Deijl, Feike Dietz, Paul Wackers, David Napolitano, James A. Parente, Jr., Frank Willaert, Youri Desplenter, Bart Besamusca, Frans R.E. Blom, and Jan Bloemendal.

Modernism Today
This book manifests at least four recent shifts and tendencies within Modernist studies in general that point at the expansion of this increasingly interdisciplinary field. First, Modernist studies has seen a temporal expansion, to the extent that scholars in the field have come to turn to both the pre- and posterior history of Modernism. Second, the field has witnessed a spatial expansion, in that increasingly so researchers have also come to scrutinize the Modernisms of regions at the fringes of Europe, and beyond. Thirdly, a vertical expansion too has marked Modernist studies in recent decades, not only by further expanding the canon of women writers and exploring the continuum between high- and lowbrow, but also by looking at the artistic and mediatized hierarchies and cross-fertilizations operative in the period. A fourth conceptual expansion of the field shows that whereas concepts such as “middlebrow”, “arrière-garde”, and to some extent even “avant-garde”, were once exotic notions of at best marginal importance in European Modernist studies, they now form part and parcel of the field, complicating and expanding it conceptually.
The Novel and the Multispecies Soundscape
The contemporary novel is not as silent as we tend to believe, nor does it only attend to human plots and characters. As this book shows, writers in a range of subgenres have devoted considerable attention to the voices of nonhuman animals, and to the histories and technologies of listening that shape twenty-first-century cultures and environments. In doing so, their multispecies novels illuminate the cultural meanings we attach to creatures like dogs, frogs, whales, chimpanzees, and Tasmanian tigers – not to mention various bird species and even plants. At the same time, these stories explore the attitudes of distinct communities of human listeners, ranging from vets and musicians to chim...
Neue Sachlichkeit and Avant-Garde
One of the aims of the book is to shed more light on the notion Neue Sachlichkeit in its appearance in a variety of fields as painting, architecture, music, photography and literature, in order to get a clearer idea of its scope. Several contributions will do so by analysing the heterogeneity in the use of the term concerning its function in the fight for recognition in the art-fields around 1930 - in other words, Neue Sachlichkeit will be analysed as a positioning strategy. Especially its participation in the broader discourse on modernity, as well as its international and intermedial dimension will be highlighted, often using the historical avant-garde as point of reference. From this perspective, the present volume wants to be read as a plea for a differentiated description of the many shared aspects and some differences between the avant-garde and Neue Sachlichkeit.
De publieke man
De criticus, journalist en schrijver Dr. P.H. Ritter Jr. (1882-1962) groeide in het interbellum uit tot een nationale bekendheid, een fenomeen. Hij publiceerde het ene boek na het andere, sprak iedere zondag voor de AVRO over literatuur, recenseerde wekelijks boeken voor het Utrechtsch Dagblad en reisde het hele land door om colleges en lezingen te geven. In De publieke man worden zijn uiteenlopende werkzaamheden voor het eerst in samenhang bestudeerd en in een cultuurhistorische context geplaatst. Alex Rutten laat zien hoe Ritter en andere bevlogen bemiddelaars met behulp van opkomende media en organisaties een groot publiek probeerden te bereiken en op te voeden. Filmvertoningen, krantenrubrieken, radioprogramma’s en volksuniversiteiten werden aangewend om het volk warm te maken voor goede boeken en waardevolle kennis. In een bewogen tijd waarin veel mensen ter ontspanning graag onderuitzakten in bioscopen, pulpblaadjes lazen en naar opwindende jazzmuziek luisterden, bleek dat geen eenvoudige opgave.
Uit de marge
In Uit de marge buigen 29 letterkundigen, historici, filosofen en een jurist zich over fenomenen in de kantlijn van de cultuurgeschiedenis: van Olympische kunstspelen tot een zombie-serial, van negentiende-eeuwse dagbladfeuilletons tot naoorlogse paperbackreeksen, van lesbische romanpersonages tot toneelschuwende gemeentebestuurders en van krantencolumns tot Sinterklaasgedichten. Leidmotieven zijn de spanning tussen high, middle en lowbrow, de argwaan jegens bestsellers, het grillige verloop van reputaties en de tijdloosheid van de culturele omnivoor. De bijdragen zijn geïnspireerd door Erica van Bovens pleidooi voor onderzoek naar populaire cultuuruitingen en vormen samen een kleine geschiedenis van de smaak van het brede publiek.
