Onthoud de gebiedende wijs
‘A peculiar type of finite verb’ is what Van den Toorn (1984: 12) calls the imperative mood. A finite verb is, after all, a verb that agrees with its subject and indicates whether an event or situation is simultaneous with or prior to the moment of speaking. However, in the imperative mood, the subject of the sentence is not expressed, and according to traditional grammar, in Dutch the imperative mood does not have tense. This contribution focuse…

De schoonheid van een imperfecte robot
This paper presents a creative writing approach that is aimed at critical literacy with regards to large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT. We propose to connect creative writing with digital literacy on the one hand, and ‘literary literacy’ on the other. By appealing to students’ literary imagination, we teach them to engage creatively and critically with (dominant discourses surrounding) LLMs, empowering students to understand the (im)poss…
The Crisis of Criticism in a Changing Media Landscape
The ‘crisis of criticism’ is a recurring motif in the discourse on literary criticism. Due to digitalization and the rise of amateur criticism, however, the crisis of criticism is being actively re-articulated in the 21st century. In this article, we trace this re-articulation in Dutch and Swedish newspapers since 2007. Based on a qualitative inquiry of metacritical statements we analyze what crisis is referred to and who or what is considered to…
Met open armen
This paper focuses on the resources Dutch literary authors are prepared to mobilize in order to strengthen their (financial, artistic, moral and societal) position. Using gift theory to tie in with the growing social and scientific attention to the subject of care, we first examine what conditions authors place on accepting care from governments, literary stakeholders, and each other. Our results show a clear need for and appreciation of care, as…
Worstelen met een briljante boef
Summer 2021. The discovery of thousands of handwritten pages by Louis-Ferdinand Céline is causing quite a stir, both in France and beyond. The author of Voyage au bout de la nuit (1932) and Mort à crédit (1936) is, after all, known as a scandalous writer, whose reputation is marked by his anti-Semitic pamphlets from the years 1937-1941. The personal and social backgrounds of Céline’s thought has been the subject of much speculation. This article …
Van veld naar netwerk
This article explores how the infrastructure of Dutch-language literature – the material, social and organisational basis for the actions of actors in the literary field – could be studied through Actor-Network Theory (ANT). The term infrastructure has occasionally been used in field-theoretical contributions to Dutch Studies, but is usually used only to indicate the place of institutions in the literary field, and not to refer to means of commun…
Wandelend op weg naar geluk
This article provides a comparison of happiness discourses in walking stories published in the Van Oorschot Terloopsseries by millennial and non-millennial authors. In order to chart how authors reflect on the interrelatedness of walking and well-being in their walking narratives, we have analysed three stories by millennial-writers – Omwegen (2023) by Thomas Heerma van Voss, Bergje (2020) by Bregje Hofstede and De groef (2021) by Maartje Wortel …
Zwerfverzen
In literary studies, intertextual theory stresses that works are co-dependent. Because the concept of intertextuality is generally defined only vaguely, it covers a variety of phenomena, ranging from exact quotations over subtle allusions to higher-level genre constraints. Philologists have been studying textual correspondences between medieval works long before these connections were called intertexts. Most famously, K.H. Heeroma uncovered many …

De vele islams van Kader Abdolah
In the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the popular Dutch author of Iranian origin, Kader Abdolah, felt compelled to respond to the anti-Muslim discourse prevailing in the Dutch public debate and to publicly justify his position towards Islam. In doing so, he explicitly took up the role of a cultural intermediary between the West and Islamic culture. This article explores how he set off to accomplish this goal in his novels written during…
Onbetrouwbare vertellers binnen en buiten het boek
On social media platforms, we are bombarded with small stories, which end up in unpredictable contexts with unforeseen recipients, who actively shape the narrative and become co-authors. As an effect, the unreliable narrator – once a concept reserved for literary criticism – is everywhere. I argue for an expansion of narratological frameworks to better understand the dynamics of trust and unreliability in platformed attention economies, by lookin…
Translation from periphery to periphery
Translation flows involving peripheral literatures have been comparatively understudied in comparison to those involving exclusively English and other literatures. In attempting to fill this gap, this study examines the translation flow between two peripheral literatures, namely Turkish and Dutch literatures, with a particular focus on the translation flow from Turkish to Dutch in the 20th and 21st centuries. We aim to identify the (f)actors invo…
Taal beschouwen met chatbots
The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) has profound implications for both research and education, also within linguistics. This article explores how chatbots can serve as innovative tools for the didactics of reflection about language and language use. Using concrete examples from interactions with LLMs, it demonstrates how these technologies make the four perspectives on language formulated by the Dutch Meesterschapsteam Nederlands (2016, 2018…
