Literary Archives - digital projects

​

Project Anthologies (Funded by FWO - Vlaanderen, and KU Leuven)
 

People: Carmen Van den Bergh

This project dedicated to literary anthologies aims to collect published studies and those still in progress, opening  the debate from an international perspective to an exchange of ideas between experts in the field and young researchers. Here you will find abstracts and fulltext articles, interviews and an archive where various types of "anthological genres" are organised. In addition to the study of the anthology as a genre, this website also intends to offer an original contribution to the debate on literary historiography, and the various attempts to rethink the combination of literature and history in a broader framework.

L-SEVIR : Literary Segments to Visualize Italian Realism
(Funded by LUCDH, Leiden University)

People: Annelotte Franke and Carmen Van den Bergh
 

This project aims to be a first step towards redefining the concept of "realism" in the panorama of Italian literature of the first half of the Twentieth Century (1900-1950) based on the study of a very peculiar genre, the "Elzeviro". This is a hybrid literary segment that can be compared with  journalistic essays on the one hand, and with literary short stories on the other. These segments were mainly published in newspapers as editorials of the cultural page and have, therefore, have been under-studied by literary scholars. For these reasons one can speak of a neglected genre, or also “cinderella-genre”. (Ansary & Esmat Babaii 2005).
