Cultural resilience and coping with disasters in the past
This article proposes a novel theoretical framework for the study of cultural resilience in the context of historical disasters. Defined as the cultural practices by which communities cope with current calamities, past disasters, and possible future threats, cultural resilience can be divided into four basic elements: sense-making, charity, commemoration, and – as a result of the previous three – community building. We further distinguish both so…
Warned by the past
The North Sea Flood of 1953 was the largest disaster to hit the Netherlands in the twentieth century. In 2023, 70 years after the catastrophe took place, Dutch media outlets commemorated the flood. Yet, their representations of the dreadful disaster were not only about the past; they also projected the catastrophe onto futures shaped by sea level rise and exacerbating weather conditions. This article analyses how Dutch journalists appropriated a …
Remembered and Forgotten
In the years 1845-48 Belgium and the Netherlands suffered from famine as a result from potato blight. This article explores the question why this famine became a building block of Flemish identity leading to its inclusion in the Flemish canon, while the Dutch potato crisis still largeley remains forgotten. It is argued that the famine in Flanders was intrinsically linked with the nineteenth-century Flemish movement, thereby contributing to the se…
Famine and ‘hongersnood’ as transnational memory
The potato blight in Ireland (1845–1849) and the dire effects of the Phytophthora infestans in the Netherlands (1845–1847) have been investigated primarily through a socioeconomical lens. The cultural practices that have shaped and transmitted the memories of these famine pasts, however, require further examination, especially in connection to the Dutch potato hunger. This article investigates the cultural legacies of these two concurrent famines…

Appropriating disasters. A framework for cultural historical research on catastrophes in Europe, 1500–1900
This article argues that ‘appropriation’ is key to understanding how communities respond to disasters, and offers a new methodological approach. It suggests that cultural representations of disasters should be studied through the prism of appropriation. Both in the past and the present, people have crafted specific representations of disasters and used them as identity markers to create a sense of community. Appropriation involves attaching meani…

Floods as shapers of Dutch cultural identity
This article offers a theoretical framework which can be used to study processes of national identity formation through the lens of nature-induced disasters, such as floods. Firstly, it discusses the current state of affairs in historical disaster studies and shows how this field may be enriched by adapting the concept of the ‘imagined community’ developed in nationalism studies. It furthermore combines insights and concepts from literary studies…
Encyclopedia of Romantic Nationalism in Europe
This encyclopedia documents the presence and impact of nationalized cultural consciousness in European nationalism. It tracks how intellectuals, historians, philologists, novelists, poets, painters, folklorists, and composers, in an intensely collaborative transnational network, articulated the national identities and aspirations that would go on to determine European history and politics, with effects that are still felt today. Edited by Joep Le…

The Roots of Nationalism
This collection brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplines to offer perspectives on national identity formation in various European contexts between 1600 and 1815. Contributors challenge the dichotomy between modernists and traditionalists in nationalism studies through an emphasis on continuity rather than ruptures in the shaping of European nations in the period, while also offering an overview of current debates in the field and…

‘See our Succumbing Fatherland, Overwhelmed by Disaster, Woe and Strife’
During the reign of Louis Bonaparte (1806–10) the Kingdom of Holland suffered three major catastrophes: the explosion in the city of Leiden (1807) and floods in the provinces of Zeeland (1808) and Gelderland (1809). This paper will illustrate the close relationship between crisis, collective identity and politics during these years and show how these crises were used as political tools by rivalling parties. On the one hand, the king took the oppo…

Images of Democracy in Danish Social Housing
The Future of Public Administration in Denmark
Public Administration research in Denmark has a relatively short history. It was first initiated in the 1970s and was developed from public law. However, from an initial homogeneity it has become increasingly pluralistic in its approach due to three factors: a strong orientation towards the study of institutional reform in the public sector, inspiration from the international literature and the specific institutional set up of the academic commun…

Cultural Theory and Democratizing Functional Domains, the Case of Danish Housing
In the last decade experiments with decentralized democratic governance and citizen involvement have been launched throughout Europe in functional domains as varied as housing, environmental planning, primary schools and care for the elderly. This article analyses such democratization processes through the lense of cultural theory as formulated by Thompson, Ellis and Wildavsky (1990). It argues that cultural theory provides a framework for unders…
