De zeer geslaagde bundel Een wereld van verschil? voorziet in een leemte in de bestaande historiografie over de zuidelijke rijksuniversiteiten in de periode tussen 1815 en 1835 en articuleert tegelijkertijd overeenkomsten en verschillen met de noordelijke universiteiten in datzelfde tijdvak
Regeneration: Generations remediated
This paper proposes a model for a dynamic and constructivist perspective on generations. To study synchronous, contemporary interrelations between technology, media and generations, many different methodologies are available. Yet many historical, diachronic studies are marred by flaws and ambiguities in their use of 'generation' as a concept. To counter those problems, this paper argues for a process-oriented approach of generations - one which i…

Frustrating Desire: On Repens and Repositio , or the Attractions and Distractions of Digital games
In the emerging academic field of game studies, Roger Caillois' Les Jeux et les hommes has already received the status of an obligatory reference. It is honoured as one of the few classic texts in game theory, but some also argue that it is not useful for analysing digital games. Caillois' book is of particular interest for cultural theorists, though, because it presents a theory of games and play while also addressing the meaning of play. After …

Democratizing Science: Various Routes and Visions of Dutch Science Shops
Science shops were established at universities throughout the Netherlands in the early 1970s with the avowed aim of democratizing science and contributing to social change. During the past few years, science shops have met with significant challenges. For one thing, they have had to adapt to various changes directly associated with the Dutch political climate, the organization of higher education, national research policies, and so on. Moreover, …

TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 611 of the Brigittine order had carried on large-scale iron production in the late Middle Ages. “Peder Mansson, Vadstena Abbey and the Iron Trade” discounts the claim that the 16th-century mining manual of Brigittine monk Mansson shows that Vadstena was heavily engaged in the iron industry.
