UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Film Imag(in)ed Diversity in a Small Nation: Constructing Ethnic Minorities in Dutch Cinema by Arne Saeys Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2018 ii UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Film Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT Imag(in)ed Diversity in a Small Nation: Constructing Ethnic Minorities in Dutch Cinema Arne Saeys This thesis investigates how non-Western ethnic minorities have been represented in Dutch cinema mainly during the last two decades. While it has been argued that national cinema contributes to the imagination of a cohesive national identity, migration and the resulting ethnic diversity in contemporary societies urges us to rethink the role of cinema in the construction of national identities. Whereas migration and minorities are often seen as a threat to the unity of a bounded and homogeneous nation, I argue that national cinemas can contribute to the imagination of a culturally diverse society. In debates about national cinemas, small nations like the Netherlands have largely been neglected. My original contribution to the field is the argument that even the cinema of a small nation like the Netherlands can represent cultural diversity. Not only because of its small size but also because it is one of the first European countries that developed multicultural policies, the Netherlands forms an interesting case to study the representation of ethnic minorities, particularly in times of reviving nationalism. A crucial research question is whether this increased attention to cultural diversity debunks or confirms prevailing stereotypes about the ethnic Other(s). Ethnic minorities are not just a demographic given but also a construct of government policies. For this reason, I examine how Dutch media and integration policies have influenced the representation of ethnic minorities in television and cinema. In order to analyse how diversity is imagined in the Netherlands, I focus on the cinematic representation of the largest minority groups as identified by the Dutch ethnic minorities policies: the Moroccans, the Turks, the Surinamese and the Antilleans. Besides policy efforts to represent ethnic minorities in the media, I claim that the representation of ethnic minorities in Dutch cinema is also a market-driven phenomenon. Even if the Dutch film industry engaged in the production of films targeting ethnic minority audiences, I argue that directors with an ethnic minority background can introduce a more personal perspective on ethnic minorities in the Netherlands. Finally, through historical dramas about (post)colonial migrants I will demonstrate how Dutch filmmakers reimagine the colonial past of the nation. Highlighting the increased attention paid to ethnic minorities in Dutch cinema, I conclude that even in a small nation like the Netherlands the cinematic imagination is not limited to a homogeneous and bounded nation but can also produce a multicultural and transnational world cinema. iii Notes All translations from Dutch are mine if not otherwise stated. For reasons of consistency and clarity, the first time I refer to films is by their original title, followed by their English language title. On subsequent references I use the English title. iv Contents ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................. iii List of Figures ......................................................................................................................... vii Declaration Of Authorship ..................................................................................................... ix Acknowledgements .................................................................................................................. xi 1.

  • Religious Diversity As a Media Regulation Issue: the Changing Frameworks in German and Dutch Public Broadcasting Regulation
    Religious Diversity as a Media Regulation Issue: The Changing Frameworks in German and Dutch Public Broadcasting Regulation Tim KARIS It is a truism that societies, particularly in the Western world, are diver- sifying. It is probably less obvious that this is also true for the religious field. Contrary to the assumption popularized in the secularization thesis, religion has not lost all societal significance and many individuals continue to make sense of the world through religious terms (e. g. Casanova 1994; Berger 1999; Graf 2004). The persistence of religion in Western societies is not only related to migration processes, but also to a growing individual- ization of religious beliefs. With regards to migration, the last decades have witnessed a large number of Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and, most notably in numerical terms, Muslims migrating to Western Europe, particularly to larger metropolitan areas. These migrants, their children and their grand- children have often created or maintained their own religious communities, considerably diversifying the hitherto largely Christian religious field in the process. However, religious diversification does not result from migration alone. Rather, it can also be understood as a consequence of religious indi- vidualization, for an increasing number of people today live religious lives outside traditional religious institutions. Many of them develop their own belief-systems by syncretizing elements and symbols from existing tradi- tions, a phenomenon that has been called "patchwork-religion" (Wuthnow 1998) or "bricolage" (Hervieu-Leger 2005). This, of course, increases reli- gious diversity to unprecedented extends. The religious diversification of society provides a challenge for many public institutions, such as schools, prisons or hospitals that have tradition- ally often been either run by the Christian churches or, for historic reasons, have been tailored to their needs.

Daarom opent dit voorjaarsnummer met een beschouwing over Indië in haar werk. Pieter Korver, die in ons blad al eerder zijn licht over het werk van Friedericy liet schijnen, zet zijn reeks over deze auteur en Zuid-Celebes voort met een beschouwing onder de titel ‘De wereld van Djongaja, Friedericy's grote inspiratiebron’.
