Abstract

Rector en voormalig senator Rik Torfs bundelt zijn beste columns en opiniestukken van de afgelopen vijf jaar. Daarin gaat hij geen enkel heet hangijzer uit de weg. In zijn kenmerkende, poëtische maar bevlogen stijl heeft Torfs het over heilige huisjes zoals het geloof, het biechtgeheim, de nationale en de internationale politiek, theologie en euthanasie, maar evengoed over meer wereldse onderwerpen zoals Brussel, reizen met de trein, manchetknopen, kunst en literatuur. Het leven en hoe het te leiden volgens een van Vlaanderens scherpste pennen.

Abstract

This book presents the first anthology of Flemish prose on the Congo, the former colony of Belgium, in English translation. Because of the Dutch language barrier, Flemish literature on the Congo has traditionally remained inaccessible to and thus neglected by international scholarship, as opposed to French or English prose on this part of the African continent. That this particular perspective has thus far remained underexposed, or even disregarded, is all the more regrettable in light of the fact that the vast majority of Belgians who went to work in the African colony came from Flanders. The Congo in Flemish Literature now represents a key step towards filling this lacuna by providing an overview of the different societal attitudes towards the colonial undertaking prevailing in Belgium during and after the colonial era, the way the relationship between Belgium and the Congo changed over time, subject to the zeitgeist and sociopolitical and economic developments, and the individual authors' varying points of view with regard to the colonisation. Flemish Congo prose offers a fascinating glimpse into Belgium's colonial past and legacy, primarily during the colonial era, but also at the time of its violent aftermath following Congolese independence on 30 June 1960, and well into the following decades.

Abstract

Par cet ouvrage, né de l’initiative des Facultés universitaires Saint-Louis, de nombreux collaborateurs et amis rendent hommage au travail et à la personnalité de l’abbé Daniel Coppieters de Gibson. Leurs textes rassemblés autour de la question : Qu'est-ce que Dieu ? font écho à sa préoccupation majeure en théologie et en philosophie, comme en littérature et en sciences humaines. Au-delà du mémorial, ils attestent, chacun à sa manière, du bien-fondé de cette question impérieuse, quoique impertinente, et de l’attente d’une réponse qui ne peut qu’emprunter des voies obliques.

Abstract

Why are so many speakers interrupted in Luke and in Acts? For nearly a century, scholars have noted the presence of interrupted speech in the Acts of the Apostles, but explanations of its function have been limited and often contradictory. A more effective approach involves grounding the analysis of Luke-Acts within a larger understanding of how interruption functions in a wide variety of literary settings. An extensive survey of ancient Greek narratives (epics, histories, and novels) reveals the forms, frequency, and functions of interruption in Greek authors who lived and wrote between the eighth-century B.C.E. and the second-century C.E.This comparative study suggests that the frequent interruptions of Jesus and his followers in Luke 4:28; Acts 4:1; 7:54-57; 13:48; etc., are designed both to highlight the pivotal closing words of the discourses and to draw attention to the ways in which the early Christian gospel was received. In the end, the interrupted discourses are best understood not as historical accidents, but as rhetorical exclamation points intended to highlight key elements of the early Christian message and their varied reception by Jews and Gentiles.
