maatschappelijke welzijn te beschermen?In welke mate roepen overheden het beeld van externe vijanden op om de maatschappij te homogeniseren en daarmee ook hun eigen machtsbasis te versterken?De uiteenlopende antwoorden op deze vragen veroorzaakten recent nog hoogoplopende politieke discussies, grimmige onlusten op straat en onverkwikkelijke vetes binnen gezinnen en vriendengroepen
The politics of consumption as discursive space
This special issue on the ‘politics of consumption’ in the modern age revisits the political approaches adopted within consumption history in the last twenty years. New directions to explore in the future study of the politics of consumption are identified, here defined as the discursive process through which consumers and consumption become framed and politicized by state- and/or market-driven actors for wider societal frameworks and goals. In w…

Die importierte Nation. Deutschland und die Entstehung des flämischen Nationalismus 1914 bis 1945
The Belgian past and present are fundamentally influenced by German politics. The sentence might sound like a truism. Yet, in his important new book, Die importierte Nation, Jakob Müller convincingly shows how determinant this German impact on Belgian history was. On the basis of painstaking and extremely rich research in various Belgian and German archives, he lays bare the degree to which Flemish nationalism was the product of German war policy…
Informing the politician
Multiple democracies in one country
Narratives of democracy have played an important part in Belgium’s self-understanding ever since the country gained its independence in the 1830–1831 revolution. In the more or less official historiography created by the Belgian political and intellectual élites, collective actors of lower and middle strata much rather than monarchs and aristocrats were presented as the forerunners of the Belgian nation. This situation stimulated a proliferation …
Linguistic Syncretism as a Marker of Ethnic Purity?
To say that the First World War was an important moment for the history of language relations in Belgium is nothing less than an understatement. Even though not all historians nowadays subscribe to the older theory that this war caused the split of the country between two largely autonomous and unilingual entities — a Dutch-speaking or Flemish one in the north, a French-speaking or Walloon one in the south — not one among them would contest that …
Greetings from Borgerokko
In November 2013, the left-wing district government of the Antwerp neighbourhood of Borgerhout organized a referendum about the name of a square which had hitherto commonly been called Terloplein . (‘Terlo square’). Apart from sticking to this old name, the citizens could choose between two options, which had emerged from a first online poll. The first of them was Maria Rosseels, a female novel writer of the post-war period who was born close to …
Thick Description beyond the Digital Space
The arrival and rapid spread of digital media can help the humanities better discern general patterns in human societies and cultures, and single out instances or moments which need an in-depth analysis. However, the process of digitization also poses certain threats to the humanities: it introduces new and possibly distorting filters between ourselves and our object of research, it can make us blind to the social, political and cultural situated…
Introduction
This book is about the local articulation of collective memories — and therefore about places. Appropriately, it starts in a very concrete place: we begin our journey in a recent past and on a busy and somewhat messy square in the very centre of the small Belgian university town of Leuven (Louvain). For tourists the square had very little to offer, but for the population of Leuven it was more or less the pulsing heart of the town. On this square …
Local Memories in a Nationalizing and Globalizing World
In historical studies, 'collective memory' is most often viewed as the product of nationalizing strategies carried out by political élites in the hope to create homogeneous nation-states. In contrast

A parricidal memory
This article examines how the Belgian patriotic collective memory in Flanders during the 20th century was supplanted by a Flemish Nationalist counter memory. The article starts with a semiotic analysis of some concrete commemorative practices and discourses surrounding the brothers Van Raemdonck, two Flemish soldiers who died during the First World War and were venerated as Flemish heroes. Next, these cases are situated in some larger themes and …

A Tribal Trinity
In the late nineteenth century, it became common to consider the Franks, the Frisians and the Saxons, three Gemanic tribes believed to have settled in the Netherlands during the Early Middle Ages, as the oldest ancestors of the Dutch people. The success of this historical theme was partly due to evolutions in the human sciences, which during that same period were stronglyinfluenced by a tribal paradigm. Being politically and geographically inclus…
