Monastic groups incorporated elements of play from secular culture and transformed them to make them suitable for use inside the monastery and usable in the dissemination of monastic attitudes in the secular world.

Organisations: • Centre for Metaphysics and Philosophy of Researchers: • Martin Moors Reason and Religious Consciousness in Schelling's Later Philosophy K.U.Leuven Abstract: Mythology and revelation rarely enter the scene of philosophical reflection, but Schelling#s later thought is a marvellous exception. His philosophical clarification of the conception of revelation and of mythology as its presupposition helps us understand human religiosity on the basisof historical sources of religious notions. Nevertheless, Schelling#s endeavour remains a philosophical enquiry, not an empirical-historical induction. Schelling calls his philosophical approach #positive philosophy# in distinction from the #negative# one, which only moves within the field of conceptual possibilities without being able to deal with actuality. Therefore, my study must elucidate how Schelling, through his critical appropriation of the Kantian reason, is able to deal with such comprehensive religious phenomena and also with man#s actual consciousness of God. In other words, this project considers how philosophical reason finds itself dissatisfied in its negative stage and therefore welcomes Organisations: • Centre for Metaphysics and Philosophy of Researchers: • Ludovicus De Vos The Epistemic Puzzle of Perception K.U.Leuven Abstract: No English Abstract Organisations: • Centre for Logic and Analytical Philosop Researchers: • Stefaan Cuypers
A relationship of reciprocity? The changing position of teaching and research wiithin the nineteenth-century history professorship. K.U.Leuven Abstract: Studies in the research activities of nineteenth-century history professors have greatly multiplied in recent years. There has been shown that those activities were stimulated by the creation of a solid job market for historians, the formation of academic communities, the rise of archives, and the many professional and friendly relations between historians world-wide. However, there has been relatively little analysis of the part history professors played as teachers. The literature almost ignores one of the most substantial aspects of the nineteenth-century history professorship. Besides conducting research in an increasingly specialized way, nineteenth-century history professors devoted a lot of their time to education activities. They did not only teach their own students. By publishing textbooks and writing more popular works, they did also instruct the pupils from secondary schools and even the whole nation. My project explores how history professors in Belgium combined their rese Organisations: • Cultural History since 1750 Researchers: • Tom Verschaffel • Katelijne Wils • Matthias Meirlaen Writing and Reading Greek Myth: the Importance of Authors and Readers in Defining the Mythographical Genre.

K.U.Leuven Abstract: The turn of the nineteenth century saw a remarkable change in the perception and representation of women in both Britain and Colonial India. Moreover, in the fictional and non-fictional writings of these times, feminism, domesticity and imperialism emerge as dominant subjects. While there has been quite some research on these writings in a strictly British context, it has not yet been analysed how this change in climate affected the perception and representation of Indian and Anglo-Indian characters. This study, therefore, aims to investigate the imperialised portrayalof Indian womanhood in the fictional work of Flora Annie Steel (1847-1929), in the context of the issues and changes that took place in Britainregarding women and feminism. It will do so by comparing the changes inthe moral framework, the norms of domesticity, and imperialism in the work of Steel with that of Sarah Grand (1854-1943) and George Egerton (1859-1945). Organisations: • Text and Interpretation Researchers: • Elke D'hoker Overforminghe as deification? The theme of deification in the work of John of Ruusbroec in light of the older mystical tradition of the Low Countries and the condemnation of Marguerite Porete. K.U.Leuven Abstract: The project will research the theme of transformation in love in the works of John of Ruusbroec, specifically Ruusbroecs critical reworking of the central theme in the work of Marguerite Porete, who was condemnedby the Inquisition in 1310. The investigation of this case study will shed new light on the broader theme of deification in Christian thoughtin the Western Middle Ages. This theme occupied a central place in Patristic and Eastern Christian reflection, but very few studies have focused on its later development in the medieval West. The objective of the research is twofold. First, to investigate the development of the theme ofdeification in the tradition inherited by John of Ruusbroec (William ofSaint-Thierry, Beatrice of Nazareth, (Pseudo-)Hadewijch and Marguerite Porete, among others), which had become problematic resulting from Poretes condemnation. Second, to investigate the extent to which Ruusbroec, influenced by Porete, with whose work he was undoubtedly familiar, re Organisations: • Research Unit History of Church and Theo Researchers: • Robertus Faesen Lost (and found).

An inquiry into the lives and deeds of episcopal leadersin Western Francia and into the nature of their authority (Church province of Rheims). K.U.Leuven Abstract: The goal of this research is to provide a new insight into the complexity of the episcopal office in post-Carolingian Western Francia (c. 900-c.1050). To improve our understanding of the role played by the bishop inthis period of transition in European history, this project will focus on the singularity as well as on the entirety of the episcopal function within the archdiocese of Rheims. Any new and unprejudiced research, on the one hand, has to depart from a thorough study of the post-Carolingian episcopate in its own right. Reiteration of the tenor of the eleventh-century
