Fine-tuning the usability of a crowdsourced indoor navigation system
This paper describes the development of a crowdsourced indoor navigation system named SoleWay. Because the input of volunteers is crucial, special attention was paid to the usability of the system at different stages throughout its development. Besides a user-friendly system, this has resulted in a number of important insights that can facilitate the development of future systems: the importance social motivation of potential users, integration o…
De Congo Codes
Ik heb dit boek met zeer veel plezier en aandacht gelezen. De Congo Codes is een boek dat heel vlot leest en dat voor een blanke Afrikanist als ikzelf voortdurend momenten van herkenning oproept. Allemaal proberen we Congo, en bij uitbreiding het Afrikaanse conti- nent, te vatten en we staan ook wel open voor andere gebruiken en cultuuruitingen. Noch- tans maken velen van ons dezelfde fouten als Dirk-Jan Koch: we maken op een naïeve ma- nier foto…

Congo, een geschiedenis David Van Reybrouck De Bezige Bij Amsterdam, 2010
The monograph Con,go, a history was written on the occasion of the 5oth anniversary of Congolese independence. The author's main point of departure was to search for the local perspective, in an attempt to avoid as far as possible a Eurocentric approach. And indeed, throughout this book we are confronted with the life stories of a great many Congolese citizens. Some of them have met key figures from the national history of Congo, others have cont…
Dealing with a traumatic past
In the final years of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first century, there has been a worldwide tendency to approach conflict resolution from a restorative rather than from a retributive perspective. The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), with its principle of ‘amnesty for truth’ was a turning point. Based on my discursive research of the TRC victim hearings, I would argue that it was on a discursive level in p…
The audience as actor
In this article Goffman's theories on participation framework and change in footing are applied to discursive material from the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The main finding is that a discursive setting such as the public hearings of a truth and reconciliation commission can be highly intricate and layered when considering the role of the various discourse participants. The testifying victims, the TRC commissioners and the a…
Reconciliation Discourse
This volume is a research monograph analysing the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) from an ethnographic/linguistic point of view. The central proposition of this book is that the TRC can be regarded as a mechanism that leads to the hegemony of specific discourses, thus excercising power. The analysis illustrates how, through a certain type of reconciliation discourse constructed at the TRC hearings, a reconciliation-oriente…

De Zuid-Afrikaanse Waarheids- En Verzoeningscommissie als Modelvoor Conflictverzoening
The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission as a model for conflict resolution After the fall of apartheid in 1994, the new South African government got confronted with the necessity to deal with the crimes committed in the past. Apartheid had been a system of institutionalized discrimination by the white minority and this apartheid past could not be ignored when trying to build a unified and peaceful society. The question was how the a…

Media representations of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission and their commitment to reconciliation
The success and prestige of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa can largely be attributed to the media attention. The extensive media coverage has been very positive for the TRC, especially with regard to the aspect of transparency. However, a drawback of such an elaborate media representation is that the media often tend to cover a phenomenon in a biased way. By studying the linguistic and visual aspects of the media discours…

The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Belgian Lumumba Commission

In Belgium in 1999, the Lumumba Commission was put into place to research the circumstances of the murder of Patrice Lumumba, the first prime minister of the independent state of Congo. In this articl…
