This volume of the bdmp analyses the genesis of one of Beckett's most important works, the novel L'Innommable / The Unnamable, written in French in 1949-50 and translated into English by Beckett in 1956-8. Through an examination of the surviving manuscripts and typescripts, as well as the French and English pre-book-publication extracts, this study locates the novel within Beckett's developing aesthetic, especially his interest in Fritz Mauthner's 'critique of language' (Sprachkritik). It aim...

Outcome of the multifaceted project In and Out of Brussels - book & DVD

The construction of gender in Belgian Catholicism.

Although women were called the 'pious sex' much earlier, it was during the nineteenth century, when the differences between men and women were being made more explicit, that an intense bond between women and religion was developed. Religiosity was thought to be a 'natural' part of femininity and turned religious masculinity into an oddity. This clear-cut gender ideology, however, remains an ideology (prescribed and contested) that needs to be...

Does working abroad appeal to you? Does it sound like a great adventure or a perfect get away from your home country? Or perhaps the opportunity to experience a new country and a new culture? Do not underestimate the situation: career hunting abroad requires more than translating your CV! Different cultures all require their own approach.

An ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach will not work. Stop sending out hundreds of more or less similar applications every week. Each job, employer and count...

Zoals het aura van het kunstwerk in de twintigste eeuw al talloze malen is afgebrand, maar keer op keer uit zijn as herrees, zo komen ook oude clichés over de visionaire kunstenaar en diens soevereine schepppingsdrang steeds weer terug, zij het in nieuwe, aangepaste vormen.

Het kunstenaarschap is dus ook vandaag nog een mythe. Zit de kunstenaar per definitie gevangen in deze mythe? Is een gedemystificeerde kunstpraktijk voorstelbaar? Of heeft het kunstenaarschap zonder mythische lading geen ...
