research group text, culture, and identity
DESCRIPTION
In this program literature is considered a dynamic, discursive art form that is in constant interaction with the discourses and ideologies that structure our society.TRANSCRIPT
The Literature Project Text, Culture and Identity Keywords:
Literary Culture – Media – Constructions of Identity and Heritage – History of the Present – Topicality of the Past – Ideology – Effect/Affect – Cultural Theory
Description of research program Culture is ordinary and everywhere, yet at the same time it is highly complex, difficult to grasp, and endlessly variable. In this program, therefore, modern and contemporary culture are studied as a complex, dynamic network of signifying practices, in interaction with the discourses and ideologies that structure society at large. In our research, we explore the role of literary and other forms of production in the construction of this network, with a specific focus on discourses of identity, modernity, memory, scholarship and technology. In order to achieve this, we propose a definition of literary heritage that includes the various forms of cultural convention in different media and the tropes and narratives we live by, as well as explicit constructions of the past from a present day perspective. We argue that the dynamics of literary and cultural heritage can only be addressed when these two perspectives are studied interdependently. This twofold vision implies that we analyze literature, media and other forms of textual production as practices that constantly write and rewrite modern and contemporary culture, thereby reiterating as well as contesting dominant values and hierarchies. Hence, our approach has a societal dimension by definition and is always close up the heels of current political, ethical and cultural issues, such as debates about national, European and cosmopolitan forms of identity, conceptions of globalization, multiculturalism and pluralism, or discussions of the cultural impact of science and technology. Departing from the assumption that everyday realities are crucially shaped by the tropes and stories that people live by, we study the cultural representations that
contribute to and interact with these debates. These signifying practices, we find, do not simply consist of reflections on transformations in society, but actively contribute to them as well, precisely because they are not limited to any specific social field, discourse or discipline.
A second important implication of our vision is that we focus on the specific ability of literary texts and other cultural artifacts to establish links between the past, the present and the future. Contemporary cultural production brings the past of a society and its heritage up to date, while it at the same time reworks and remediates this heritage in the light of present-‐day developments and concerns such as globalization and cultural diversification. Here, one can think of practices of cultural memory, the construction of national identity and the formation of heritage, or ethically charged interventions in the public and/or scholarly debate on both historical legacies as contemporary issues. Cultural artifacts, in short, historicize the present, and contemporize the past. Moreover, they project versions of the present into the future; they anticipate upon and invest in developments yet to happen or never to occur at all. Thus, (re)writing culture also implies (re)writing the future.
Methodologically, the members of the research group combine the approaches of cultural history, literary theory and cultural studies. Important basic principles include, but are not limited to: intra-‐ and intertextual analysis of literary culture, discourse analysis of texts and media, and various forms of cultural and ideological critique. In the broadest sense, the initiated research focuses on the interdiscursive relations between literary and cultural phenomena on the one hand, and politics, ethics, economics, sciences, visual culture, scholarship, popular culture, journalism – et cetera – on the other. Thereby, the diverse, yet converging activities of the group aim at a reassessment of modern and contemporary culture as a common and interdisciplinary core concern in the humanities. Envisaged results The research group’s principal aim is to join forces and to develop a distinct profile for the study of modern and contemporary literary culture and heritage at our university. The coherency of the group is safeguarded in monthly meeting in which the group’s (strategic) activities are discussed, such as: joint research proposals (NWO, ERC), co-‐publications, panel proposals, research seminars, Winter/Summer Schools for PhD-‐students (Onderzoekschool Literatuurwetenschap OSL), collaborations with international partners… The research output of the group members will be actively monitored and managed with an eye to the coherence and integration of the program. Specifically, we are aiming at an a large, international conference end 2014, provisionally entitled: ‘(Re)writing the Present’. We will invite several internationally acclaimed key note speakers; a selection of the presented key notes and papers will be published in a book volume or as a special issue of an international, peer reviewed
journal. Additionally, public lectures and debates will be organized in collaboration with Spui25, Studium Generale, Perdu, de Balie, and other institutions. Research interests The research group’s shared concerns are related to urgent questions in both current scholarship as in today’s public debate in/on culture:
• Literary culture and cultural production as privileged domain for the formation and reconfiguration of national (collective) identities; culture’s role in relation to nationalisms since the 19th century on the one hand and the critique of limited notions of identity (cf. the ‘rise’ of world literature, post-‐colonial literature etc.) and of collective identities on the other hand; contextualizing intellectual debates and the role of public intellectuals;
• The topicality of the past and the extended history of the present: culture as a set of practices that construct and undo images of the past and notions of heritage; retaking and remodeling heritage to explore future vistas.
• New perspectives for comparative literary and cultural analysis: rethinking literature, culture and the humanities: not as universalizing projects, but as forms of dynamic, localized cosmopolitanism;
• Analysis of the discourses of cultural heritage and “digital humanities”: Fears of forgetting and fantasies of completeness and contemporary culture and academia; exploration of contemporary ‘archive fever’ and database aesthetics as strategies of a repositioning and reformatting of the humanities;
• Critical engagement with essentialist approaches to the past and heritage and reductive forms of contextualization;
• Opening up the space of literature: the relevance of popular culture, digital writing, non-‐fiction, therapeutic and scientific writing, and the literariness of cultural representations in general.

Paul Bijl Assistant professor, modern Dutch literature Paul Bijl’s research is on cultural memories of European colonialism. In his project ‘The Transnational Afterlives of Colonized Voices’ he focuses on the memories of the voices of colonized writers in four former colonial empires, (Belgium, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands). The project will investigate how different conditions (such as different forms of colonialism, different colonized regions and different national cultures) impact the ways in which the voices of critical writers have been remembered in the public sphere, both of the metropole of their (former) colonizers and transnationally.

Femke Essink PhD-‐student, modern Dutch literature Project: Adaptation and the Heritage of the Sixties My research project focuses on the shifting appreciation of the heritage of the sixties. The cultural transformation that commenced in this mythical decade has been of major normative influence on Western society, particularly in the socio-‐cultural domain. Many of the perceived achievements considered natural in this day and age are associated with the democratizing and emancipatory developments of the sixties. However, in contemporary society, this heritage of the sixties is subject to debate. This especially is remarkable in the Netherlands, since in this particular era, the country developed from a rather inward and paternalistic nation into a progressive and tolerant society. Using the sequential adaptations of Dutch literary texts from the sixties I will trace and explain the continuous (re)construction of the myth of the sixties. This project is hereby situated within the discipline of adaptation studies: adaptations are understood as reflexive spaces where implicit and/or explicit ideological assumptions are being reconsidered. This project outlines how literary texts from the sixties enter into a discussion with their contemporary counterparts and how adaptations pass on the heritage of the sixties in an altered form.

Lisanne Snelders PhD-‐student, modern Dutch literature Project: The Dynamics of Literary Heritage. The Case of the Dutch East Indies This project researches the cultural memory of the Dutch East Indies in literature.The remembrance of the colonial period in the Dutch East Indies, or the ‘Insulinde’ as it has been tenderly called, is a dynamic process of constant negotiation in which media such as literature play an important role. Deploying insights from both memory studies as postcolonial studies, this project takes three postcolonial authors from different ethnic and national backgrounds (Hella Haasse, Tjalie Robinson, Pramoedya Ananta Toer) as its case studies. Besides studying the way in which the work of these authors has been read and framed over time, the project aims to explore the way in which their authorships are being constructed, which factors play a role in these constructions and what the mnemonic effects of these constructions are. Using a discourse-‐analytical approach, it aims at identifying the role literature plays in debates on history and heritage and the way in which literature contributes to the construction of the changing memory of the Dutch East Indies.
