Playing empire at home: Het Beursspel and Dutch popular colonial geopolitics in the 1940s
How is the geopolitical imaginary of colonial spaces produced in popular culture? This question is at the heart of this contribution which seeks to analyse how board games, as a popular culture artefact, are a venue to research the modes by which such spaces are not only represented but also 'at play’. Games are a window to people's geopolitical imaginaries and practices not only through games' representations and imaginaries, but also their leve…
Een succesverhaal: Beleid en beleving rondom aids in Nederland sinds 1982
A success story? Policy and experiences of AIDS in the Netherlands since 1982 The existing historiography on HIV/AIDS in the Netherlands can be characterised as a positive evaluation of policies adopted in the 1980s and 1990s.

This way, the Netherlands’ consensus c…

Introduction: Imagining Communities, Multilingually
I Heard Homer Sing”: Tsjêbbe Hettinga and the Paradoxes of European Multilingualism
Europe has always been multilingual, but since the Romantic era, this empirical truth has been denied, erased, or ignored. Contemporary globalization reconfigures the standard language ideology that has long been central to the continent’s self-understanding and political organization. This article explores some of the paradoxes of European multilingualism in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries by way of the work and authorship of…

Narrating into Europe: Female Migrant Writers’ Voice and Representation
Cet article étudie The Embassy of Cambodia de Zadie Smith et L’últim patriarca de Najat El Hachmi, qui thématisent ce que Stuart Hall appelle “être dans, mais pas de l’Europe”.

Both novels cast the…
