Lieselot De Taeye

Lieselot De Taeye is a PhD Fellow of the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO); she has been working for the VUB department of Literary and Linguistic Studies (TALK) since 2013. Her research is focused on the Dutch literature of the 1960s and 70s. Several literary works that were published during those years have been labelled as contributing to an experimental documentary trend, because they evoke a reality effect in a non-traditional, (neo-)avant-garde inspired way. She looks into how different textual strategies contribute to this factual rhetoric (such as: narrator strategies, montage, ready-mades, use of multiple media and references to non-fictional genres) and how factual and fictional signals interfere in these works.
