Literair laboratorium gaat over de vraag hoe postmoderne mensen, ondanks de fragmentering van leven en wereldbeeld, zichzelf en elkaar kunnen ‘opvoeden’ tot samenlevende wereldburgers. Martien Schreurs schetst de ideeën van Peter Sloterdijk en Paul Scheffer over ‘Bildung’ en werpt dan de stelling op dat het niet de filosofen of politici zijn die deze ‘bildende’ rol kunnen vervullen in onze cultuur, maar veel eerder bepaalde hedendaagse literaire meesterwerken. In deze zin analyseert Schreurs op verfijnde wijze Rushdie’s Duivelsverzen en Mulisch’ De ontdekking van de hemel. In tegenstelling tot Sloterdijk, die stelt dat de humanistische traditie geen antwoorden biedt op de vragen die zich in onze multimediale en technologische maatschappij aandienen, laat Schreurs in dit boek zien dat een revitalisering van de kernbegrippen uit de humanistische traditie juist mogelijk is. Schreurs betrekt ten slotte in zijn opvoedkundig ‘laboratorium’ ook de huidige context van het middelbaar onderwijs.

This book opens up an understudied area within the field of literary spatiality: the question of geographical emergence. A study of contemporary literary representations of place, it draws on phenomenological, poststructural, and postcolonial theories of space and place to show how literature contributes to the formation of new geographical identities. With chapters devoted to the in-between spaces of Samuel Beckett, France's suburban ghettoes, and the postcolonial proto-nations of France's Caribbean territories, this study emphasizes literature's ability to subtly but decisively shape readers' attitudes toward the world around them, making it possible to see such places not as defective or derivative versions of established modes of dwelling but as laboratories for the ways of life of tomorrow.

Over the past century, narratives of travel changed in response to modernist and postmodernist literary innovation, world wars, the demise of European empires, and the effect of new technologies and media on travel experience. Yet existing critical studies have not examined fully how the genre changes or theorized why. This study investigates the evolution of Anglophone travel narrative from the 1920s to the present, addressing the work of canonical authors such as T. E. Lawrence, W. H. Auden and Rebecca West; best-sellers by Peter Fleming and H. V. Morton; and texts by Colin Thubron, Andrew X. Pham, Rosemary Mahoney, and others. It argues that the genre's most important transformation lies in its reinvention as a means of narrating the subjective experience of violence, cultural upheaval, and decline. It will interest scholars and students of travel writing, modernism and postmodernism, English and American literature, and the history and sociology of travel.
