Wat zijn kernbegrippen van de teksten van vandaag?
Wat vond je de moeilijkste begrippen?
Kern van de tekst?
o = de claim is dat er geen breuk is tussen de faculteiten maar continuiteit in de
geesteswetenschappen
Introduction: The quest for Principles and Patters
Humanities = geesteswetenschappen? andere worden, niet dezelfde betekenis in beide
talen.
Humanities since the 19th century… the disciplines that investigate the expressions of the
human mind (p.1 – Dilthey)
Wat is er voor de universiteiten relevant aan (het begin van) de 19 e eeuw?
Denk aan Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835) = Bildung
o Iedereen die burger is zou iets moeten weten over de gemeenschap, dit leren ze via de
uni en geesteswetenschappen horen bij elkaar, Bod kiest ervoor om humanities te
gebruiken door te accepteren dat hij een anachronisme gebruikt (19 e eeuw met
antiquiteit)
, Bods belangstelling: the research function = the empirical dimension of the humanities
o 4 belangrijke punten over the different forms of the humanities
Memory function = keeping alive the works from the past and present, often
through collections.
Educational function = by teaching these works to new generations
Critical function = by interpreting these works for public at large
Research function = by asking questions and posing hypotheses regarding
humanistic artefacts.
o Empirie? Empeira = ervaring
o Leezenberg = zintuigelijke ervaring
o Wat hoort dus niet bij de empirische geesteswetenschappen?
Metaphysics
Bod heeft het over concrete waarneminden, wat je waarneemt is relevant =
daardoor kan hij in de research function uitleggen wat er in
geesteswetenschappen is gedaan.
The humanities have become increasingly fragmented
o There is no central humanistic discipline… there are common humanistic practices and
methodologies
Humanistic practices = in nederlands humanistiek betekend iets anders, hier
betekent het geesteswetenschappelijke praktijken
Verstehen vs. Erklaren
o Bods stelling, continuiteit is een metapattern, interesse in philosophers die op
empirische basis informatie vinden omdat grote lijn = continuiteit
o Gaat tegen wat Dilthey zei: prescriptive back to descriptive again at the end of the early
modern period.
o Daartegenover: humanities is a continuous tradtion
Classical division
o Antiquity (Ancient Greece + Roman times)
o Middle ages (500 tot 1500)
o Early modern era
Begint met Descartes (1596-1650) with “cogito ergo sum”, Descartes gaat weg
uit de kerk = zekerheden van de middeleeuwen zijn weg doordat de kerk een
minder grote rol speelt
1500 tot 1789
Renaissance
o Modern era
Overgang tussen vroegmodern en modern is belangrijk doordat daar vaak
veronderstelde breuklijn zit.
The study of all media and culture: from film studies to new media
o Film + TV: from structural to cultural patterns
Structuralisme?
Semiology: syntagma-paradigma
Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913)
o The rise of media studies
, Benjamin + McLuhan
o Cultural studies: eclecticism
Cultural studies (CS) niet specifiek geestesetenschappelijk
Wel behorend tot the humanities?
CS lacks a clear basis that guarantees any controllability
New Media: rhizomatic
o ‘new forms of encyclopedias’
o Stemmatic philology?
Hybridity: new humanistic disciplines
o Hybridity of methods … in all beginning disciplines
Wat we nodig hebben: detachment
o Waarschuwing: interdisciplinary mules
Conclusie BOD: Is there a break in the modern humanities?
Breuk
o Alleen in de modern geesteswetenschappen?
Toch progress in the modern humanities?
o Of tussen Early moden and Modern humanities zoals zo vaak wordt beweerd?
o Hij wilt deze schreiding voorkomen door de empirische kant van geesteswetenschappen
te benadrukken
Wanneer zijn geesteswetenschappen modern?
o René Descartes (1594-1650)
o Plaats postmodern?
Anders dan “deconstructivistisch’ en ‘poststructuralistisch’
Bods these: vooruitgang in cyclische tendens
o From descriptive to perscriptive and back to descriptive (p.6)
Volgens bod is er sprake van een continuous humanistic tradition… no clear-cut conceptual
break
o Maar niet in de nieuwe disciplines: film, cultural studies, new media
o Want geen early modern counterpart
o Cumulative progress in termen van problem-solving capacity + greater refinement + new
techniques
Dichotomy in the post-war humanities ?
o Stylistic and computational analysis… is a long way from the poststructuralist and
deconstructivist approach (351)
De studie van alle Media & Cultuur
Van Filmwetenschap tot nieuwe media
Film en televisie wetenschap: van structurele naar culturele patronen
Structuralistische filmtheorie: zoektocht naar de onderliggende filmstructuur de filmische
verhaalstructuur zichbaar maken
