fun-loving society using art and literature to adapt to a new
situation.

A corpus is easily accessible for analysis by computer.
This module offers students an opportunity to work with such
corpuses representing texts from various periods of Dutch from the
Middle Ages to the nineteen-eighties, and to subject them to various
computer routines, such as doing word-counts, building a concordance
and analysing contexts.

- Brief
Description of Aims and Content:
This module aims to provide a historical overview of the
literature in Dutch related to the colonial past and its present
ramifications. A discussion of literary texts will investigate the colonial
confrontation with the Other, analysing both the Dutch (and
occasionally Belgian) and the Indonesian or Surinamese (and
occasionally Zairese) reaction to the alien culture.
- Probable
Number Attending Module: 15
- The
following topics will be discussed:
-
- a historical overview of Dutch Colonial history
-
- the concepts 'colonial literature', 'postcolonial
literature', 'other
literatures
in Dutch'
-
- the colonial 'Other'
-
- the loss of 'Dutchness' in Couperus' De
Stille Kracht
-
- the relationship between race and gender
-
- the voice of the Other (the Indonesian author Pramoedya
Ananta Toer)
-
- exile and return (Marion Bloem)
-
- The
research into literature connected with the colonial experience is at
present undergoing a tremendous boost.
The module will consequently involve recent theory, both by
English and Dutch critics, to benefit from a highly interesting
current discussion concerning the clash of two cultures.

Description of Aims and Content: This
module will concentrate on written transfer skills, ie translating.
The emphasis will be on practice with a wide
variety of texts and registers.
Some theoretical aspects of translation will also be dealt
with.
-
- The module
will also involve a brief introduction to technical translation, e.g.
the translation of texts stemming from biotechnology or medicine, so
that students can sample the methodology involved in this highly
specialised area of translation practice.
-
- In order
to cover the theoretical aspects of translation, the module will
include a brief historical overview of
the evolution of our attitudes to the practice of translation.
- Coming
towards the end of the course, this should stimulate a discussion
about present-day
conventions, misapprehensions and concerns around translation,
suggesting why, during the last decades, translation theory and
practice have increasingly moved towards a central position in our
thinking around literature and writing.
-
- Above all,
however, the course will depend on the practical experience of
translating. As
part of their continuous assessment,
students will submit a number of short translations, while the assessment mark
will be made up by two assessed translations.

political systems and cultures, corporatism, industrial relations,
demography, and education. The
course then turns to economics issues, and after a survey of the Low
Countries’ economies since the War, we take a thematic approach
focussing on regionalism, capital investment, tourism, energy,
transport, and current economic problems and policies.
