OSL Research Day Seed Money and OSL Awards
/in News and Events /by Alberto GodioliOSL regrets to announce that the Research Day will not take place in 2020. The OSL Research Day normally serves as the official opening of our academic programme, and provides a valuable platform for dialogue and research collaborations between literary scholars within and beyond the Netherlands. However, the situation of uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has made it quite difficult to plan physical events in Fall 2020; and since an online Research Day would defeat the very purpose of the event, this seemed like the safest decision at this stage. On a brighter note, both our seed money grant and the OSL Awards will be normally assigned this year; please find more information below.
OSL Seminar: Africa beyond “Africa”: Literary explorations
/1 Comment/in News and Events, Training programme - Archive /by Alberto GodioliOnline seminar | 6 October, 20 October, 27 October, 3 November, 17 November, 24 November 2020 (15:00 – 17:00)
Although political, sociological, ethnographical or anthropological perspectives from, on and about Africa are frequently examined and discussed, African artistic domains remain relatively underexposed in the Netherlands. This is remarkable, especially when taking into account that African artistic practices are booming – both at home and around the world. In this course, we will problematize a number of assumptions about Africa and explore how contemporary African literature and film invite us to imagine and rethink Africa as part of the world and the location of the future.
OSL Workshop: Generalizations, Hypotheses, Evidence in Literary Studies
/in News and Events, Training programme - Archive /by ChantalOnline workshop | Friday 23 October 2020
How do we move from particular examples to more general statements about the literary world? This is what I will be calling the practice of generalization, and it effects all knowledge domains. While other fields have long grappled with this problem, literary studies has yet to engage in sustained discussion surrounding the principles and procedures through which we produce generalized knowledge about the world.
OSL Course: Creative Writing ‘Poetics – A Practioner’s Guide’
/in News and Events, Training programme - Archive /by ChantalOnline skills course | 2, 9, 16 and 30 October 2020, 15:00-18:00 | Coordinator: Dr David Ashford (Groningen) | 5 EC
This course will introduce participants to poetic genres, forms and metres, enabling them to develop, or to expand upon their own practice, as creative writers. Participants will study poetry from a variety of traditions, in order to understand how poetic form is determined by its original context in performance, and by the information, musical and theatrical technologies necessary to that original performative context.

We would like to share with you a couple of links that might be useful in the context of our current transition to online teaching:
From Distant Reading to Distant Viewing: Using Computer Vision to Enrich Historical and Literary Research
/in News and Events /by Alberto GodioliThe Hague | NB: Postponed to February – March 2021; more details will follow as soon as possible.
Digital humanities research has long been strongly textually oriented (Arnold and Tilton 2019). Increasingly, however, methods are being developed to incorporate the visual into DH analyses. This workshop will introduce participants to the basics of “distant viewing”: cutting-edge computer vision techniques in humanities research.
