  • Literature of the Low Countries
    Literature of the Low Countries A Short History of Dutch Literature in the Netherlands and Belgium Reinder P. Meijer bron Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries. A short history of Dutch literature in the Netherlands and Belgium. Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague / Boston 1978 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/meij019lite01_01/colofon.htm © 2006 dbnl / erven Reinder P. Meijer ii For Edith Reinder P. Meijer, Literature of the Low Countries vii Preface In any definition of terms, Dutch literature must be taken to mean all literature written in Dutch, thus excluding literature in Frisian, even though Friesland is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in the same way as literature in Welsh would be excluded from a history of English literature. Similarly, literature in Afrikaans (South African Dutch) falls outside the scope of this book, as Afrikaans from the moment of its birth out of seventeenth-century Dutch grew up independently and must be regarded as a language in its own right. Dutch literature, then, is the literature written in Dutch as spoken in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the so-called Flemish part of the Kingdom of Belgium, that is the area north of the linguistic frontier which runs east-west through Belgium passing slightly south of Brussels. For the modern period this definition is clear anough, but for former times it needs some explanation. What do we mean, for example, when we use the term ‘Dutch’ for the medieval period? In the Middle Ages there was no standard Dutch language, and when the term ‘Dutch’ is used in a medieval context it is a kind of collective word indicating a number of different but closely related Frankish dialects.

  • Wonen Op Één Van De Uniekste Locaties Van België 2 | Be-Mine | Houtpark | Beringen Beringen | Houtpark | Be-Mine | 3
    URBAN VILLA’S WONEN OP ÉÉN VAN DE UNIEKSTE LOCATIES VAN BELGIË 2 | BE-MINE | HOUTPARK | BERINGEN BERINGEN | HOUTPARK | BE-MINE | 3 URBAN VILLA’S HOUTPARK De naam ‘Houtpark’ verwijst naar een plek op het mijnterrein waar men hout opstapelde. De mijn beschikte over een uitgebreide houtvoorraad, die diep onder de grond als ondersteuningsmateriaal dienst deed. 4 | BE-MINE | HOUTPARK | BERINGEN BERINGEN | HOUTPARK | BE-MINE | 5 VOORWOORD De mijnsite van Beringen omvat 100.000 m² aan bestaand gebouwenpatrimonium. Daarmee is het de grootste industriële erfgoedsite in Vlaanderen en uniek in Europa. Van alle overige mijnsites in Limburg is het de enige site waar het industriële hart van de mijn werd bewaard. De mijnsite is gelegen in het kleinstedelijk gebied van de derde grootste stad van Limburg en aan de voet van twee terrils. Onder de noemer be-MINE wordt de site nu herbestemd als een toeristisch-recreatief project. Stedelijke functies als wonen, werken en winkelen worden daarbij evenwichtig met elkaar vervlochten. Met het masterplan voor de herbestemming van 32 hectare mijnterrein, krijgt de historische locatie een waardige, waardevolle en eigentijdse invulling. Het masterplan voorziet in een belangrijke wooncomponent, een nieuwe wijk met de naam ‘Houtpark’. Anderzijds voorziet het masterplan ook een belevingscomponent in en rond de beschermde gebouwen. Daar staan toerisme, cultuur, ontspanning en winkelplezier centraal. Het project be-MINE werd door de Vlaamse Regering als toeristisch hefboomproject voor de regio erkend en kan genieten van de steun van de provincie Limburg en de stad Beringen. Een aantal stedelijke functies zoals het nieuwe zwembad ‘Mijn zwemparadijs’ en het Toeristisch Onthaal Limburg vinden er onderdak.

It is the platform of non governmental organisations and private initiatives for the study, the conservation, the interpretation and presentation of industrial and technical heritage. More than 40 regional and thematic organisations are affiliated to the VVIA, together with a number of company museums, private collections, and some local history or local heritage associations. As concerns this proposal the VVIA has concluded intensive negociations with • heritage associations in the mining area of Limburg, for example the Werkgroep Monumentenzorg Beringen (Architectural Heritage Working Party of Beringen), Stichting Erfgoed Eisden (Eisden Heritage Trust), Geschiedkundige Kring Genk (Local History Association Genk) • the Vlaams Mijnmuseum (Flemish Mining Museum Beringen) and the Museum of the Miner’s House (Eisden) • associations in charge of or campaigning for the protection of the mining heritage, e.g. vzw ‘De Koolmijn’ (Genk-Winterslag), vzw Elektriciteitscentrale Heusden-Zolder(non profit trust organizing restoration training in the former mine power plant),

  • The Aftermath of the Closure of the Dutch Coal Mines in South Limburg: Regional Economic and Social Reconstruction
    THE AFTERMATH OF THE CLOSURE OF THE DUTCH COAL MINES IN SOUTH LIMBURG: REGIONAL ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL RECONSTRUCTION Hans Kasper, Maastricht University and Etil BV This case study focuses on 35 years of economic redevelopment, reconversion or restructuring after the closure of the Dutch coal mines in the South Limburg mining district. It explicates what strategic decisions and measures were taken to solve the economic and social problems that occurred in this Dutch area after the closure of the coal mines, a process that was announced on December 17, 1965, by the Dutch government. Based on real-life experiences, this case study discusses the role and relevance of strategic planning, project management, human resource management, labor market policy, social policy, public policy and regional policy in restructuring the economic structure of an area in which a dominant player ended its activities in a rather short period. The case tackles not only the economic impact but also the social impact of the coal mine closures. The case is intended to be used as the basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of a management situation.

  • Mesolithische Vindplaatsen in Het 'Kamp Van Beverlo' (Prov. Limburg
    Mesolithische vindplaatsen in het ‘Kamp van Beverlo’ N Mesolithische vindplaatsen in het ‘Kamp van Beverlo’ otae (prov. Limburg, BE) Pr ae hi sto Anton ERVYNCK, Erwin MEYLEMANS & Marijn VAN GILS ri cae , 37 / 2017 : 25-3 2017 1. Een onverwachte vondst Prehistorische artefacten ontdekt men doorgaans bij terreinprospectie of reguliere op- 5 gravingen. Maar ook in de wereld van verzamelaars en al dan niet openbare verkopen valt een en ander te rapen. Een archeoloog met aandacht voor de deontologie van zijn bedrijf houdt zich daar doorgaans ver van maar soms moet een uitzondering worden gemaakt. Dat overkwam een van de auteurs te Drongen, deelgemeente van Gent, waar op 10 juni 2017 de jaarlijkse rommelmarkt werd gehouden. Een standje bood naast vele andere spullen een kleine verzameling van stenen voorwerpen aan. Ze zijn geordend op bordkartonnen plaatjes, waarop de artefacten op hun plaats worden gehouden met ga- ren, voorzien van Franstalige identificaties in potlood. De bijschriften vermelden telkens een vindplaats, naast coördinaten ten opzichte van geodetische meetpunten in dat gebied, en op sommige plaatjes staat een datum voor de vondsten. Deze wetenschappelijke informatie, en de verwaarloosbare prijs, maakten de kleine collectie de moeite van het aanschaffen waard. 2. Op het spoor van de vindplaatsen De collectie is gemonteerd op zeven plaatjes: vier grotere van ongeveer 20 op 8 cm, en drie kleinere van 8 op 8 cm. Ze dragen alle de vermelding ‘Camp de Beverloo’ en op twee komt een datum voor, meer bepaald 1911 en 1912. Beverlo is een gehucht dat nu bij Beringen hoort. De vindplaatsen vermeld op de plaatjes bevinden zich echter op het militair domein van Beverlo, dat zich uitstrekt over de gemeenten Houthalen-Helchteren, Hechtel-Eksel, Leopoldsburg en Beringen.
