Bringing the Bard Back Home? The English Translation of German Shakespeare Criticism in the Long 19th Century. KU Leuven

Raphaël Ingelbien
English Literature, Leuven

Unlike translations of Shakespeare’s texts, translations of Shakespeare criticism have attracted no scholarly attention. Shakespeare critics in different countries often used to read each other in the original, but their writings also reached wider foreign audiences through translations. By analysing English translations of French and German writings on Shakespeare in the long 19th century (an age of popular Bardolatry or ...

Bringing the Bard back home? The English translation of foreign Shakespeare criticism in the long 19th century KU Leuven

Raphaël Ingelbien
English Literature, Leuven
Unlike much discussed translations of Shakespeare’s texts, translations of Shakespeare criticism have attracted no scholarly attention. Shakespeare critics in different countries often used to read each other in the original, but their writings also reached wider foreign audiences through translations.

Comic Modernism: The Reception of Aristophanes in British Poetry, Fiction, and Criticism, 1900-1940 KU Leuven

Sascha Bru
Cultural Studies Research Group

This research project aims to examine the presence and effect of ancient Greek comedy in British modernist literary culture. The dominant view of modernist literature as a profoundly serious endeavor has so far prevented a sustained study of the status of comedy in modernism’s literary legacy. By focusing on the reception of Aristophanic comedy, this project proposes an untrodden path into this field. It uncovers the keen interest modernist ...

Textual Ambiguity and Identity in Genesis 18-19: A Narrative Critical Reading KU Leuven

Brian Doyle
Research Unit of Biblical Studies

The prevalence of ambiguity in Gen 18-19 is undeniably problematic to a precise definition of the identity of the visitor(s) of Abraham and Lot in Gen 18:1-22/19:1-29. Ambiguity occurs in the pericope (Gen 18:1-22/19:1-29) by obscuring the identity of the visitor(s) with a transition from 'the Lord' to 'three men' and 'men' throughout 18 and in 19 from 'two angels' to 'men' as well as 'the Lord'. Abraham and Lot appear to have been visited by ...

Silent voices: A Digital Study of the Herne Charterhouse as a Textual Community (ca. 1350-1400). University of Antwerp

Mike Kestemont
Antwerp Centre for Digital humanities and literary Criticism (ACDC)
The Carthusian monastery of Herne has had a profound impact on the cultural history of the Low Countries, as a true hotspot in the production, negotiation and dissemination of vernacular literature for lay audiences, in a time where most written texts were still in Latin. In a short time span (ca. 1350-1400), the members of the community collectively copied a fantastic collection of 25+ Middle Dutch and Latin manuscripts, many of which contain ...

From the Textual to the Digital University. A philosophical investigation of the mediatic conditions for university thinking KU Leuven

Maarten Simons
Education, Culture and Society, Education and Society

Starting from the current trend to digitise the university, this thesis aims to clarify the specific relation between university thinking and its use of media. This thesis is an investigation concerning the sensorial and medial conditions which enable the event of thinking to emerge at the university, i.e. conditions which do not make thinking necessary, but possible. Thinking is approached as an event which can happen while studying at the ...

Antwerp Centre for Digital humanities and literary Criticism (ACDC), Centre for Computational Linguistics and Psycholinguistics (CLiPS), Research centre Ruusbroec Institute
The aim of this project is to merge traditional methods of literary analysis with those of stylometry to provide tools to translate nuanced perceptions into verifiable observations. The study of the particular case of Arnhem mystical texts has a double objective: (1) to gain a deeper understanding in the textual culture and the interconnectedness of original texts of the Arnhem mystics; (2) to further the effectiveness, applicability and ...
