Pictet We publish below the text of an address delivered at the formal cente­ nary commemoration of the Brussels Declaration of 1874 concerning the laws and customs of war. This celebration took place in Brussels on 12 December 1974. The concept that man must be protected against the ills of war is not a recent one. It may be likened to a clear spring gushing out from time immemorial, increasing gradually in volume as it surges forth until its swollen waters are borne down upon us today. The sum of efforts that idea has aroused has grown, parallel to the rise of civilization with which it is indissolubly linked. The course of every civilization is marked by leaps and bounds; at times, there is a sudden quickening in the pace ofits advance, which may be followed by periods of stagnation and temporary regression, like milestones, some white, some black, on the long road of mankind. One could imagine life on our planet as if it were under the sway of a gigantic, relentless pendulum, oscillating from one extreme to another. A similar phenomenon may be observed in the evolution of war, and again in the long series of successes and set-backs in the age-long struggle undertaken for the protection of the human person against the dangers of hostilities. These are but episodical engagements in the battle waged since the dawn of time between those who wish to preserve, to unite, to liberate and their opponents who wish to dominate, to destroy, to enslave, and may be 1 The historical facts in this article were obtained mainly from the excellent work by the late Pierre Boissier: Histoire du Comite international de la Croix-Rouge, Paris, 1963. 111 seen as aspects of the eternal opposition between the instincts of "Eros"· and "Thanatos", of preservation and of destruction. The history of Europe provides several instances of this dichotomy. In the Middle Ages, our life on earth was viewed as only a stage on our journey to the great hereafter; the value attached to life was not so great that its span on earth was considered to be worth prolonging. More im­ portance was given to the saving of souls than of bodies and it was not the business of society to change the fate of human beings. While the religious orders set admirable examples of self-denying devotion, the masses remained cold to the afflictions suffered by their fellow-creatures. The alliance of Church and State, on which the Edict of Milan set its seal in 313, gave birth to the medieval theory of the just war. This formi­ dable myth, which introduced an emotional and esoteric element in the art of war, put a brake on the progress of humanitarianism for centuries. It led belligerents to pursue their combat to the point of utter exhaustion, as, in their zeal to have right on their side at all costs, they sought to vindicate their deeds by invoking faith, morality, justice or honour. It was on the basis of this article of faith that they justified all the many crimes com­ mitted during that period. The Crusades provided the most horrible instances of such acts. In those times, wars were decided upon the issue of a single battle, after which those who had been thrown into the fight like pawns were forsaken. Happy the prisoner whose life was spared on payment of a ransom! The civilians were not treated more kindly and were thrown upon the mercy of the victors. As for the wounded, they were abandoned to a cruel fate, unless they were dispatched by a blow with a mallet. Towards the end of the fourteenth century, there was a swing marking a turning-point in military history: the appearance of firearms made the dwarf a match for the giant. The new invention revolutionized the art of war and at the same time it caused a radical change in the social order. Cannons were dear and only monarchs could afford to have them made. Thus it came about that armies belonged to the king and consisted of mercenaries. The feudal system was succeeded by state power, and pri­ .vate wars and serfdom gradually disappeared. The release of prisoners on payment of a ransom became common practice; the wounded were taken care of and medical services worthy of the name were set up. The founders of natural law - Vitoria, Suarez and later Grotius - met with attention and their influence was deeply felt. 112 In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, however, armed conflict gradually degenerated into total war: blood flowed freely in a Europe ravaged by the wars of religion and the Thirty Years War. Living on pillage, in the territory of friend or foe, soldiers massacred the peasants, who were avenged when the tide of battle turned. To mention but one instance, the population of Bohemia in those sombre times fell from three million to seven hundred and fifty thousand. But the spirit of scientific invention was stirring in the west. Man was probing the laws of physics which governed his universe and his own person. Life was becoming an end in itself, and from then onward, society took its destiny into its own hands.

  • Antwerp in 2 Days | the Rubens House
    Antwerp in 2 days | The Rubens House Rubens was a man of many talents. Besides being the gifted painter we all know, he was also a diplomat, a devoted family man, an art collector and an architect. Where better to begin this immersion in Rubens’s city than the house in which he lived and worked? Rubens as an architect Rubens was talented in many areas of life. Besides being the gifted painter we all know, he was also a diplomat, a devoted family man, an art collector and architect. Where better to begin this immersion in Rubens’s city than the house in which he lived and worked? When Rubens returned from Italy in 1608, at the age of 31, he came back with a case full of sketches and a head full of ideas. He purchased a plot of land with a house near his grandfather’s home (Meir 54) and converted it into his own Palazzetto. Take an hour to visit the Rubens House and to breathe in the atmosphere in the master’s house before setting off to explore his city. Rubens’s palazzetto on the Wapper was not yet complete when the artist was commissioned to work on the Baroque Jesuit church some distance away, at Hendrik Conscienceplein. On your way to Hendrik Conscienceplein, we would suggest you make a brief stop at another church: St James’s Church (St Jacobskerk) in Lange Nieuwstraat. This robust building dooms up rather unexpectedly among the houses, but its interior presents a perfect harmony between Gothic and Baroque: the elegant Middle Ages and the flamboyant style of the 17th century go hand-in-hand here.

  • 1 Unmasking the Fake Belgians. Other Representation of Flemish And
    Unmasking the Fake Belgians. Other Representation of Flemish and Walloon Elites between 1840 and 1860 Dave Sinardet & Vincent Scheltiens University of Antwerp / Free University of Brussels Paper prepared for 'Belgium: The State of the Federation' Louvain-La-Neuve, 17/10/2013 First draft All comments more than welcome! 1 Abstract In the Belgian political debate, regional and national identities are often presented as opposites, particularly by sub-state nationalist actors. Especially Flemish nationalists consider the Belgian state as artificial and obsolete and clearly support Flemish nation-building as a project directed against a Belgian federalist project. Walloon or francophone nationalism has not been very strong in recent years, but in the past Walloon regionalism has also directed itself against the Belgian state, amongst other things accused of aggravating Walloon economic decline. Despite this deep-seated antagonism between Belgian and Flemish/Walloon nation-building projects its roots are much shorter than most observers believe. Belgium’s artificial character – the grand narrative and underpinning legitimation of both substate nationalisms - has been vehemently contested in the past, not only by the French-speaking elites but especially by the Flemish movement in the period that it started up the construction of its national identity. Basing ourselves methodologically on the assumption that the construction of collective and national identities is as much a result of positive self-representation (identification) as of negative other- representation (alterification), moreover two ideas that are conceptually indissolubly related, we compare in this interdisciplinary contribution the mutual other representations of the Flemish and Walloon movements in mid-nineteenth century Belgium, when the Flemish-Walloon antagonism appeared on the surface.

  • A German William of Orange for Occupied Flanders: Frans Haepers, Groot-Nederland, and the Invention of Tradition1
    A German William of Orange for Occupied Flanders: Frans Haepers, Groot-Nederland, and the Invention of Tradition1 Simon Richter (University of Pennsylvania) Abstract: During the Nazi occupation of Belgium, an effort was launched by Frans Haepers and the editorial staff of the weekly journal Volk en Kultuur to invent a Flemish tradition around the Dutch cultural icon William of Orange. The effort was based on two German-language historical novels, Wilhelm Kotzde-Kottenrodt’s Wilhelmus and Rudolf Kremser’s Der stille Sieger, which were subsequently translated into Dutch. The article argues that the Flemish recourse to William of Orange as mediated through the novels and their translation was a way to negotiate the conflicting collaborationist politics of Groot-Nederland, favored by Flemish nationalists, and the Großgermanisches Reich, favored by Flemish Nazis. Keywords: Willem van Oranje / William of Orange – Groot Nederland / Greater Netherlands – Vlaanderen en het ‘Derde Rijk’ / Flanders and the ‘Third Reich’ – Frans Haepers – Wilhelm Kotzde-Kottenrodt – Rudolf Kremser 1 The author is grateful to Prof. Dr. Uwe Puschner and his colleagues at the Friedrich Meinecke Institute of the Free University of Berlin and to the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for making possible a research stay in Berlin. Journal of Dutch Literature, 9.2 (2018), 76-91 Simon Richter 77 The 11 July 1942 issue of Volk en Kultuur: Weekblad voor Volksche Kunst en Wetenschap [Folk and Culture: Weekly for Völkisch Art and Science], a rightwing, semi-collaborationist Flemish nationalist journal, identified itself as the ‘Willem van Oranjenummer’ [William of Orange issue] and featured a full-size portrait of the ‘father of the fatherland’ on the cover.

  • Nobel Peace Speech
    Nobel peace speech Associate Professor Joshua FRYE Humboldt State University USA [email protected] Macy SUCHAN Humboldt State University USA [email protected] Abstract: The Nobel Peace Prize has long been considered the premier peace prize in the world. According to Geir Lundestad, Secretary of the Nobel Committee, of the 300 some peace prizes awarded worldwide, “none is in any way as well known and as highly respected as the Nobel Peace Prize” (Lundestad, 2001). Nobel peace speech is a unique and significant international site of public discourse committed to articulating the universal grammar of peace. Spanning over 100 years of sociopoliti- cal history on the world stage, Nobel Peace Laureates richly represent an important cross-section of domestic and international issues increasingly germane to many publics. Communication scholars’ interest in this rhetorical genre has increased in the past decade. Yet, the norm has been to analyze a single speech artifact from a prestigious or controversial winner rather than examine the collection of speeches for generic commonalities of import. In this essay, we analyze the discourse of No- bel peace speech inductively and argue that the organizing principle of the Nobel peace speech genre is the repetitive form of normative liberal principles and values that function as rhetorical topoi. These topoi include freedom and justice and appeal to the inviolable, inborn right of human beings to exercise certain political and civil liberties and the expectation of equality of protection from totalitarian and tyrannical abuses. The significance of this essay to contemporary communication theory is to expand our theoretical understanding of rhetoric’s role in the maintenance and de- velopment of an international and cross-cultural vocabulary for the grammar of peace.

  • De Gedaantewisselingen Van De De Keyserlei
    Aangeboden door Info Antwerp™© De gedaantewisselingen van de Keyserlei Historiek van de Keyserlei Een laan krijgt gestalte Vanhees Benoit Inleiding: Een laan zonder bomen Ondanks protestacties van milieuactivisten en nogal wat persaandacht, werden in november 2011 de 96 lindebomen in de Antwerpse Keyserlei gerooid. De majestueuze bomen waren een dertigtal jaren eerder aangepland. Op bevel van het stadsbestuur moesten ze wijken in het kader van de heraanleg en de dringende herwaardering van de eens zo bruisende stadsader. Zoals altijd in zo’n emotioneel geladen debatten kwamen voor- en tegenstanders aandragen met zowel zinvolle als met wat vergezochte argumenten. Lokale politici en hun raadgevers hadden daarbij uiteraard al meer dan louter één oog op de komende gemeenteraadsverkiezingen. Sommigen wierpen zich met hartstocht op als een soort patroonheiligen voor de fel geplaagde horecasector. Hun tegenstanders spelen dan weer in op de zucht van de burger naar wat groen en propere longen. Het mocht niet baten: terwijl het stadsbestuur nog maar eens een Spaanse architect een deel van Antwerpen ingrijpend liet hertekenen, speelde de Metropool haar eigenste Ramblas kwijt. De Keyserlei is voorlopig dus een laan zonder bomen. Dit is trouwens niet de eerste maal. Wie oude postkaarten op chronologische volgorde zou leggen (bv. aan de hand van datumstempels op postzegels, of aan de hand van de modellen auto’s in het straatverkeer) zou kunnen zien dat zo’n algemene kapping reeds eerder plaatsvond. Het einde van een tijdperk en een lei zonder bomen... We laten hier in het midden, wie het tot op welke hoogte bij het rechte eind moge hebben. Wat wel zo is, is dat de radicale ingreep als voorbereiding op de heraanleg van de Keyserlei een onbedoeld interessant neveneffect had.

  • Reconstructions of the Past in Belgium and Flanders
    Louis Vos 7. Reconstructions of the Past in Belgium and Flanders In the eyes of some observers, the forces of nationalism are causing such far- reaching social and political change in Belgium that they threaten the cohesion of the nation-state, and may perhaps lead to secession. Since Belgian independ- ence in 1831 there have been such radical shifts in national identity – in fact here we could speak rather of overlapping and/or competing identities – that the political authorities have responded by changing the political structures of the Belgian state along federalist lines. The federal government, the Dutch-speaking Flemish community in the north of Belgium and the French-speaking commu- nity – both in the southern Walloon region and in the metropolitan area of Brus- sels – all have their own governments and institutions.1 The various actors in this federal framework each have their own conceptions of how to take the state-building process further, underpinned by specific views on Belgian national identity and on the identities of the different regions and communities. In this chapter, the shifts in the national self-image that have taken place in Belgium during its history and the present configurations of national identities and sub-state nationalism will be described. Central to this chapter is the question whether historians have contributed to the legitimization of this evolving consciousness, and if so, how. It will be demonstrated that the way in which the practice of historiography reflects the process of nation- and state- building has undergone profound changes since the beginnings of a national his- toriography.
