The body in the renewel of the Dutch novel on the borders of modernism and postmodernism (1960-1970)
This project aims to examine the presentation of the body, and its innovative function in the renewal of the Dutch novel 1960-1970. On the basis of nine novels, which represent the different innovative tendencies, I first analyze the thematic description of the body by way of metonymy and metaphor, and the narratology of the body. Secondly, I investigate how innovative this thematical and narratological body has been.
