Introduction: Debating Desirable Aging Futures through Technology

Progress across empire: Entanglements between Indian and European reformers before the First World War
This article argues that the field of social reform was a flourishing sphere of encounter between progressive Indian and European intellectuals in the years leading up to the First World War. By building personal networks, sharing intellectual reference points and exchanging information in internationally oriented journals, reformers could develop the sense that they belonged to a globe-spanning vanguard of like-minded intellectuals who, by ident…

Introduction: Covid19 and Aging Bodies - What Do We Mean When We Say That Older Adults Are Most 'Affected' by Covid-19
How We Talk About Aging During a Global Pandemic Matters: On Ageist Othering and Aging 'Others' Talking Back
Étudiants étrangers à l’Université de Gand vers 1900
Starting from the case of the Armenian poet Daniel Varoujan (1884-1915), this article successively provides a quantitative overview and a discussion of the presence of foreign students at the University of Ghent before the First World War, as well as a number of explanations for the attractiveness of Belgium to foreign students and finally a discussion of the passage from Varoujan in Ghent. Varoujan was a student at the University of Ghent from 1…
Transnational Brokering. The Case for Symbolism and Surrealism in Flanders
Transgenerationele bemiddeling. Het geval van symbolisme en surrealisme in Vlaanderen In de zelfdefinitie van schrijvers en literaire critici worden literaire ‘ generaties’ en ‘ bewegingen’ niet zelden als synoniemen gebruikt. In deze bijdrage gaan we dieper in op de theorievorming rond literaire generaties en het fenomeen van de transgenerationele bemiddeling. Uitgaande van de casussen van het symbolisme en surrealisme in het algemeen en P. G. (…
Beyond the Metropolis: French and Belgian Symbolists between the Region and the Republic of Letters
In 1892, the editors of the journal La Jeune Belgique – the bell-ringer of Belgian modernism –made a claim that seemingly contradicted the publication’s central role in the country’s so-called ‘literary renaissance’.1 They asserted that their periodical had ‘never promoted a national literature, that is to say, “Belgian literature”’.2 Instead, they portrayed themselves as French writers, comparable to authors in Brittany and the South of France
Belgium on the Move: Transnational History and the Belle Époque
This article pursues a dual agenda: it argues that transnational approaches can shed fresh light on Belgian history, and that Belgium provides a fitting test case for an enquiry into the nature and workings of transnational exchanges. This focus draws particular attention to the sites where activists and academics gathered, and to the organizations which sustained such processes. Thus, the authors consider those factors, which facilitated transna…
Elements of the Modernist Creed in Henri Pirenne and George Sarton
Schrijverschap in de Belgische belle époque. Een sociaal-culturele geschiedenis: Een Sociaal-Culturele Geschiedenis
This book studies literary sociability during the belle époque (1890-1914) by comparing and relating organizations of authors with intellectual sociability in general. Drawing on a combination of methods including social network analysis, existing histories of Dutch and French speaking literature are questioned. This study shows, for instance, how author’s societies and literary journals were functional in the symbolic struggle between ‘dilettant…
An entangled history of ideas and ideals: Feminism, social and educational reform in children’s libraries in Belgium before the First World War
This article examines one of the first children’s libraries in continental Europe, founded by Belgian feminists in Ghent around 1910. The transnational cultural transfer and transformation of the American children’s‐library paradigm is studied from the perspective of “entangled history”. The authors reveal a history entangled in transnational processes and partially overlapping intellectual networks of feminists, social and Lebens‐reformers and p…
Ego and the International: The Modernist Circle of George Sarton
The early years of Isis are examined in the light of George Sarton’s connection with Paul Otlet (1868 –1944) and Henri Lafontaine (1854 –1943), founders in 1895 of the International\nOffice of Bibliography and in 1907 of the Union of International Associations, both in Brussels. Otlet, known as one of the fathers of the Information Age, invented the science of information, which he called, in French, documentation. Lafontaine, a socialist senator…
