The ‘Successions of Philosophers’. The Origins, Functions, and Development of a Hellenistic Historiographical Genre KU Leuven
Handbooks of Western philosophy commonly start with a chapter on Thales of Miletus and go on with Thales’ pupil Anaximander, Anaximander’s pupil Anaximenes, and so on. The history of Greek philosophy is thus commonly considered as an unbroken chain of master-pupil relationships. Even when it comes to modern philosophy, we tend to think in terms of ‘successions’.

The Anxiety of Genre. Horror between craft, theory and the screen idea work group. KU Leuven

In contrast to his fellow Northern Netherlandish genre painters, there has barely been any scholarly attention paid ...
Greek Mythography in the Byzantine World. Investigations into the Remnants of an Age-old Genre. KU Leuven
The proposed project seeks to shed light on the evolution of Greek mythography after antiquity, more particularly in the Byzantine era. Despite the common interest in classical mythology, the genre of mythography (“writing about myth”) did for a long time not receive the scholarly attention it deserved. During the past two decades, however, we have witnessed a revival of interest in this classical genre. The proliferation of studies about ...
Representing Blackness: Metatheater and Genre Remediation in 21st-Century African American Plays Vrije Universiteit Brussel

aspirations of their work, they have not yet considered the aesthetic
strategies that underpin these political purposes. Yet, in these plays,
metatheatrical devices such as audience address, rewriting and roleplay self-reflexively theatricalize blackness, and remediations of
