There is, however, an important earlier history here. Throughout the late colonial period, many wealthy ‘Indies’ families maintained close and organic relations with the Dutch metropole. Some of these families (or branches of them), though originally Indies-based, relocated permanently to the Netherlands and established themselves among the Dutch bourgeoisie. This paper examines the history of such a family, one of mixed Scots-Javanese-Dutch ancestry, which settled in The Hague in the last decade of the nineteenth century. In so doing, it demonstrates the extent to which the plethora of recently available genealogical data can be used in the reconstruction of family histories to create a picture that can exist alongside – both complementing and complicating – any trend towards discourse-based approaches to the subject.","PeriodicalId":41997,"journal":{"name":"Dutch Crossing-Journal of Low Countries Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75970713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing the histoire croisée approach, this contribution discusses the reception of Olive Schreiner’s Woman and Labour in the Netherlands. It argues that the profile of Aletta Jacobs, who translated the text into Dutch, was decisive in forming Dutch public’s reactions to the book. Schreiner, however, an influential South African writer and social theorist, was a radical voice among both South African and European feminists and her social vision was not entirely compatible with Jacobs’s views. This article proposes that reviews of Schreiner’s book in Dutch socialist and feminist press reflect the tensions between these two movements which played out in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and do not take into account Schreiner’s actual non-European perspective and her global approach to social processes where gender, class, and race function as intersecting concepts.","PeriodicalId":41997,"journal":{"name":"Dutch Crossing-Journal of Low Countries Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86801279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Select Papers from the XIXth Biennial Interdisciplinary Conference on Netherlandic Studies","authors":"Marsely L. Kehoe, J. Sadler","doi":"10.1080/03096564.2019.1656792","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03096564.2019.1656792","url":null,"abstract":"The following articles were originally presented at the 19th biennial Interdisciplinary Conference on Netherlandic Studies. Held in Bloomington at Indiana University in June 2018, the conference was organized by the American Association for Netherlandic Studies (AANS). The four articles published here approach the conference theme of the Changing Low Lands from a variety of angles that corresponds with the assortment of topics and disciplines presented at Bloomington. Isabella Lores-Chavez underscores the diversity of the Dutch Republic in the early seventeenth century and how Hendrick Avercamp’s charming winter scenes both reflect and actively shape this new identity. Sarah Dyer Magleby’s consideration of Adriaen van de Venne’s humorous image of ice-skating owls, taking on human characteristics, is of its seventeenth-century Dutch moment as it alludes to a series of proverbs and other visual culture to produce a multi-layered moral message. Derek Kane O’Leary’s paper takes us outside the geographical boundaries of the Low Countries in detailing the efforts of nineteenth-century New Yorkers to integrate the region’s Dutch history into the developing national narrative of the antebellum United States. Finally, Joshua Sander examines the National Socialist effort to shape expatriate Germans and Dutch citizens in the image of the Reich through the German Schools in the Netherlands in the 1930s and 1940s. Our two art historical papers together illustrate the variety of methodologies and potential readings in this discipline, with very different approaches to that celebrated Dutch sport of ice skating. With television host Katie Couric’s much-mocked 2018 explanation of why the Dutch Olympic team dominated in speed-skating (because frozen canals are a major mode of transport in the Netherlands, she argued), it’s clear the world associates ice skating with the Netherlands, but these papers show that ice skating is about more than sport in the Dutch Golden Age. Read as anthropology or allegory, the scholars consider the solidity of the ice, the placement of the skates, the costumes of the skaters, and the setting of the frozen surface, and provide context from the historical and cultural moment to elucidate this imagery and speak to Dutch seventeenth-century morals and identity. The two historical papers plunge into archival sources to investigate the ways in which educational institutions attempted to shape national identities in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Though the antebellum New York Historical Society differed greatly from educational ministers who oversaw German International Schools in the Netherlands prior to and during Nazi rule, both saw education as a central component to the development of narratives of national unity. Where a succession of German education ministers attempted to mold the German Schools into a bulwark against ‘Dutchification,’ while constantly redefining what it meant to be German, the New York DUTCH CROSSING 201","PeriodicalId":41997,"journal":{"name":"Dutch Crossing-Journal of Low Countries Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82984783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Avercamp’s ice-skating scenes offer a vision of a prosperous society emerging in the Northern provinces in the midst of the Dutch Revolt against Spain. This paper argues that Avercamp’s work, rather than simply celebrating a quaint pastime, invites a more political reading. Avercamp’s use of nascent symbols of Dutch identity – particularly the tricolour flag – tie his paintings inextricably to the political cause of Dutch autonomy, and suggest the political consciousness of the citizens of the young Republic.","PeriodicalId":41997,"journal":{"name":"Dutch Crossing-Journal of Low Countries Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89456306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He also created images with great moralistic and comic value, such as his painting Hoe dienen wij bij een!, made between c. 1614 and 1662. This painting portrays two brown and black-spotted owls in the guise of humans skating on a frozen lake. As other more conventional birds soar above the distant skeletal trees, these feathered creatures both wear contemporary clothing. The male owl also clenches a rope in his beak with a pair of glasses knotted at the end. This same rope attaches behind him to the female owl’s chest, but instead of spectacles, her end holds several dead mice. Above the two anthropomorphic animals floats a banderole, which translates to ‘How well we go together!’ Although scholars believe van de Venne intended this work as lighthearted with only a vague message of foolishness, I contend that through the artist’s use of iconographic imagery and well-known proverbs and themes, van de Venne produced a humorous painting with a moralizing and didactic message which condemned the vice of adultery and warned the male audience about the dangers of a cunning woman.","PeriodicalId":41997,"journal":{"name":"Dutch Crossing-Journal of Low Countries Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90437046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior to the Nazi assumption of power, the Weimar government and local German community leaders in the Netherlands saw the schools as bastions of German culture and as tools to prevent the ‘Dutchification’ of Germans living abroad. With Hitler’s accession to the Chancellorship, the purpose of these schools changed to include the inculcation of a National Socialist and Germanic worldview among the students. Finally, with the German occupation during the Second World War, these schools, which the Nazi occupiers significantly expanded, were seen as models for the future development of Dutch education. Although the ultimate Nazi defeat limited the effect of these German International Schools upon the larger Dutch educational establishment, the changes the German Schools underwent in the 1930s were largely mirrored by Dutch institutions during the occupation. The German International Schools therefore stand as further evidence of the Nazis’ larger designs for the Netherlands after the hoped-for German victory.","PeriodicalId":41997,"journal":{"name":"Dutch Crossing-Journal of Low Countries Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91141498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
