5 NNUL OT IOG Introduction The Groningen esearch Institute for the Study of ulture (Instituut voor ultuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek Groningen (IOG)) is a research institute embedded in the Faculty of rts of the University of Groningen. ll members of the institute are affiliated with this faculty and do research in the fields of history, literature, film/tv, theatre, music, visual arts and architecture, as well as journalism, political, socioeconomic, cultural and intellectual history and international relations. IOG participates in a number of esearch Schools, to wit, the Groningen esearch School for the Study of the Humanities (GSSH), the Netherlands esearch School for Medieval Studies (NSMS), the Netherlands esearch School for conomic and Social History (NW osthumus Institute) and the Dutch National Graduate School in lassical Studies (OIKOS). It is a great pleasure to present the annual report 2007 of IOG, which summarizes the institute s activities. In 2007 as in previous years, these focused upon three fields, namely, (i) strengthening internationalisation, (ii) institutionalising pivotal research activities, and (iii) extending external fund raising. They have been particularly successful in external fund raising. For example, dr. Marcel Broersma was awarded an NWO-VIDI grant for his research project on Form, Style and Strategy in uropean Journalism, Furthermore in the NWO program Shifts in Governance dr. ick eters was awarded a grant for his project: ontested Democracy. xploring the Foundations of Modern Democracy. The German Mercator Stiftung granted a four year project on contemporary political and literary cabaret in Germany, which will be supervised by professor dr. Wara Wende. It is the intention of IOG to continue working along the lines of the aforementioned initiatives. Hopefully, this annual report 2007 serves the purpose to put the activities of IOG further in the picture. rof. dr. Herman W. Hoen Scientific director of IOG 3

11 NNUL OT IOG esearch rofile and esearch Groups esearch at IOG is characterised by its interdisciplinary nature, which means that the research groups are organised in such a way as to encourage links both synchronic and diachronic between them. esearch at IOG focuses on the study of cultural processes, their various manifestations and discussion of these subjects in urope, the regions of the astern Mediterranean Basin, the merican continent (read: Mexico, United States, and anada), and a recent development several sian countries. The research area covers the period from Babylonian civilisation (c B) to the present. The following periods may be distinguished: a) Hellenistic civilisation (3rd century B to the early-oman imperial period) and the history of the astern Mediterranean Basin, and of the period between the oman mpire and the transition from Late ntiquity to the early Middle ges. b) The Middle ges, with the emphasis on the Late Middle ges/arly Modern Times ( ). c) The Fin de Siècle and the Belle Époque (c ), and linked to this, the so-called Long Nineteenth entury ( ). d) The period from the old War to the present, with the emphasis on the period from World War II to the present. esearchers at IOG represent not just many periods, but many disciplines as well: the history and theory of literature, film/tv, theatre, music, the visual arts and architecture, research into the artistic media and into the history and theory of artistic policy-making and organisation, journalism, and political, socio-economic, cultural and intellectual history, etc. esearch is organised into three multi-disciplinary research groups, all of which to varying degrees relate to the core theme of ultural hange. The three main research groups are olitics, Media and Nation-building, ultures and Identity and Society and the rts 4.1 olitics, Media and Nation-building s soon as society becomes organised and in particular hierarchical, power must be manifested publicly in order to maintain and legitimise itself. ll authority structures seeking to maintain their position must use arguments to convince the public of the natural and independent character of the socio-political, socio-economic and cultural constructs to which all belong. very social context, local, national or international, has its own politico-administrative instruments and organisations, and distinguishes itself through its own political culture and political history. The central question for this research is how authority structures deal with the increasingly interwoven social trends towards globalisation on the one hand and the tendency among certain groups to emphasise a desire for individuality or autonomy on the other. It is not only the politico-administrative organisation that plays a role in political organisation and culture (including the delineation of different administrative responsibilities); socio-economic factors in particular help determine political behaviour (the political culture ). The research focuses on political culture and its history in the abovementioned areas (local, national and international). The notion of political culture embraces the two following domains of historical research: what definitions have been given in the course of time to the domain of the political ( das olitische ) and what linguistic, argumentative, organisational and rhetorical strategies have been adopted in order to define the domain of the political? Self-evidently, the media have importantly contributed to this, especially in more recent times. The research in this group is centered around three main focus points: Historical aspects 9

Kossmann Institute. ontacts are rof.dr. D.F.J. Bosscher and Dr. D.J. Wolffram. Focus points are political philosophy and theory, political organisations, politics and media - mediatisation, and the history of policy-making. Staff dr..h.m. De Baets, dr. D. Bos, prof. dr. D.F.J.

The concept media is here to be interpreted in the broadest sense of the word as textual and visual material (both fictional and non-fictional), as ritual, ceremonial entries, courtly and popular festivals, demonstrations spontaneous or otherwise, as well as modern means of communication such as daily newspapers, radio, television and the Internet. In modern times they have become inseparable. very age has its own preferred media when it comes to processes of identity formation, regionalisation, living in multicultural societies, etc. esearch into representation by the various media is important to uncover not only the intentions of interested parties, but the prevailing norms, values and spheres of interest as well. In other words, media do not just have an instrumental function, they also have an illustrative and above all a guiding or even manipulative one, in the sense that they not only reflect reality but can also generate it. 20

23 NNUL OT IOG 2007 The projectgroup has four subgroups: ntiquity - co-ordinator rof. O.M. van Nijf (ncient History ); Middle ges and arly Modern Times - co-ordinator Dr J.W. Koopmans (arly Modern History); Nineteenth entury (Fin de Siècle and Belle Époque) - co-ordinator rof. W.. Krul (ultural History); Second half of the Twentieth entury to the present - co-ordinator rof. H.L.M. Hermans (omance Languages). ll four subgroups study elements related to the administrative and economic dimensions of politics, the specific cultures that manifest themselves at a given time and the ways media are used in order to enhance feelings of identity. lthough constants do exist in the way in which people shape social activity and link it (or do not link it) to their ideology, it is also regularly subject to processes of change. elevant here are the sociological aspects of the political system and process as well as the behaviour (voluntary or otherwise) of the participants. Focal oints are: How do constants and changes in the politico-administrative domain and the related political culture(s) operate and what is the role of behavioural change in relation to them? To what end do dominant political groupings use media (in the very broad sense described above, e.g. to foster feelings and ideas of unity) and what effect does this have in various cultural, sociological and political contexts? What are the limitations on the use of media in specific sociopolitical circles? ultures and Identity: ntiquity Staff dr. J.W. Drijvers, dr. W.M. Jongman, prof. dr.
