Titel Deelnemers "Korte inhoud" "Samuel Beckett's manuscripts" "Olga Beloborodova, Dirk Van Hulle, Pim Verhulst" "This chapter combines genetic criticism and digital scholarly editing to offer an alternative perspective on Samuel Beckett’s manuscripts, nuancing the dominant one-directional dynamics of ‘undoing’ or ‘vaguening’ and suggesting a dialectics of accretion and taking away. This is made possible thanks to the Beckett Digital Manuscript Project (BDMP), which functions as an archive as well as an edition. It unites the author’s globally dispersed manuscripts in an online environment with facsimiles, transcriptions, bilingual version comparison, automatic collation and search function. The BDMP also includes the Beckett Digital Library, which serves as a tool to study how intertextuality figures across his work and how it has evolved over time. Because navigability can become an issue in the digital realm, the chapter also explores ways to enable both micro- and macro-analysis, on the level of the individual work or the oeuvre at large, in connection to Beckett’s other creative activities."

It draws on a large body of examples from authors from the nineteenth century onwards, including Samuel Beckett and Ian McEwan, and applies the framework of genetic criticism to core notions in literary criticism, including authorship and intertextuality." "The intertextual condition" "Dirk Van Hulle" "This essay reassesses the notion of intertextuality, arguing that, in Joyce studies, genetic criticism has played and continues to play a revitalising role in the debate between two paradigms: influence and intertextuality." "Beckett y Shakespeare acerca de la nada, o lo que sea que acecha detrás del velo" "Dirk Van Hulle" "Beckett and Shakespeare, or, Whatever Lurks Behind the Veil" "‘Learn by heart’: Beckett’s schoolboy copy of Shakespeare’s 'Macbeth'" "Dirk Van Hulle, Pim Verhulst" "This article discusses a recently discovered copy of William Shakespeare’s play 'Macbeth' that once belonged to Samuel Beckett when he was a student at Portora Royal in 1922. Although the volume is in private hands, scans of the annotated pages are freely available in the Beckett Digital Library of the Beckett Digital Manuscript Project. Compared to other surviving works by and on Shakespeare in Beckett’s possession, the 'Macbeth' schoolboy copy shows an unusual abundance of reading traces and marginalia. However, passages that are not underlined or otherwise marked turn out to be equally important for an assessment of the play’s impact on Beckett’s writing, in addition to a grey zone of indeterminate or conceptual references that are harder to classify as allusions. This is especially the case when Beckett’s style becomes sparser, and he explores other dramatic genres such as radio or television alongside prose and theatre. By way of introduction, the article analyses some of these instances in detail while providing more context about the book’s provenance." "A poetics of the Doppelgänger" "Dirk Van Hulle" "Dynamic facsimiles: note on the transcription of born-digital works for genetic criticism" "Dirk Van Hulle" "Born-digital works of literature sometimes present genetic critics with so much data that it becomes possible to analyse not just the microgenesis but even the nanogenesis of small textual units such as sentence versions (textual versions of one single sentence). This ‘work in progress’ essay is a suggestion to visualize these nanogenetic analyses as dynamic facsimiles, a filmic replay of logged keystrokes in parallel with a transcription, by analogy with the popular and effective format of juxtaposing digital facsimiles with their transcription in digital scholarly editions of analogue works." "Stratégies de lecture exogénétiques: approches de l’intertextualité invisible" "Dirk Van Hulle" "Cet article tente d’évaluer les tensions et les correspondances entre exogenèse et intertextualité, en abordant notamment l’érosion intertextuelle et le phénomène selon lequel un intertexte agit sur la genèse d’un texte, mais reste invisible dans sa version publiée – ce qu’on pourrait appeler l’intertextualité invisible. J’examine dans quelle mesure l’exogenèse diffère de la « critique des sources » (que Julia Kristeva rejetait comme un sens banal et mal compris d’intertextualité) et propose cinq stratégies de lecture exogénétiques pour traiter de l’intertextualité invisible : une approche exogénétique directe, une approche endogénétique, une approche intratextuelle, une approche indirecte via les marginalia et une approche épigénétique."
