The Dutch Language in Japan (1600-1900)
Our starting point is the authoritative judgement by Marius B. Jansen, Professor Emeritus of Japanese History at Princeton University, in his The Making of Modern Japan: ‘The story of the struggle
Doing Justice in a Plural Society
This essay focuses on 400 years of colonial contact between the Dutch and the Indonesians, and on the legal history that developed as a consequence. Discussing a number of specific episodes serves to delineate the characteristic features of the legal legacy of the colonial Netherlands Indies, its historical development, its actual practice and its postcolonial continuities. Against this background, the explorations undertaken here produce new rea…
Young Man Go East! Investigating colonial topoi in Dutch literature
Dutch colonial literature of the East Indies has its roots in the seventeenth century, in the famous mariner's Journal (1646) of Willem Bontekoe no less than in the exotic tale of Javanese black magic contained in Johan van Heemskerck's learned and elegant Batavische Arcadia (1637), the first attempt at a novel in Dutch literature. The colonial themes and topoi first presented in these two early works have found a clear literary echo in the early…
The case of the missing empire, or the continuing relevance of Multatuli's novel Max Havelaar (1860)
I discuss the Dutch maritime and colonial empire in South East Asia (1600–1950) and its literature. Focusing in particular on its absence from most postcolonial debate today, my aim here is to explore why and how this missing Dutch empire and its literature matter to postcolonial theory. I will consider a range of recent reactions to the 19th-century Dutch author Multatuli and his classic novel Max Havelaar or the Coffee Auctions of the Dutch Tra…
Language diversity and international communication
Some reflections on why English is necessary but not enough. On 11 May 2001, as part of the EU-Japan Friendship Week, and on the occasion of the European Year of Languages, a one-day symposium on ‘The Future of Linguistic Diversity’ was held at the Japan Foundation in Tokyo: see ET 67, Jul 01. In his contribution to this symposium, Professor Reinier Salverda of University College London (as the representative of the Netherlands) discussed how it …
Multilingualism in Metropolitan London
A description and discussion of the vast linguistic diversity in the capital of the United Kingdom. LONDON today is an enormous Tower of Babel, where in addition to the common language, English, many other languages are spoken. On Tuesday 13 March 2001, as part of the Lunch Hour Lecture Series at University College London, Professor Reinier Salverda discussed the linguistic diversity of contemporary London, presenting recent data on the other lan…
