Literary concepts of the Dutch juridical and political elites in the 20th century and their relevance for literary history and field theory

政治和法律领域的专业人士对文学是什么的看法，通常只有在文学领域出现某种丑闻或司法/政治干预时才会引起文学学术界的注意-不仅仅是在荷兰。在这些情况下，作家、评论家和文学学者大多将关于文学的司法或政治声明定性为不充分或过时。然而，对政治和法律领域专业人士的文学概念进行系统的历史重建，在荷兰尚不存在。这就是申请人的DFG项目的原因。这个项目有两个部分，其中一个着眼于二十世纪荷兰政治家的文学概念（集中在荷兰议会的辩论），另一个着眼于法律的专家的概念（集中在荷兰所有已知的文学审判中积极倡导者）。直到2024年8月，该项目将首次系统地重建二十世纪荷兰政治和法律领域专业人士的主导和不太主导的文学概念。这里提出的更新建议将侧重于两个主要重点。第一，重建能在多大程度上有助于强化二十世纪荷兰文学发展的既定形象。在此背景下，也将讨论荷兰文学史的调整或更正的潜在需求。不仅涉及政治和司法专家的代表性，而且还涉及在特定历史时刻被普遍认为是占主导地位的文学群体的既定观念。其次，本文所申请的更新项目旨在创建一个与权力领域相关的文学、政治和法律三个领域的理论模型。一个试图超越荷兰案例的模式。由此产生的模型应该有助于更准确地分析文学、政治和法律之间的相互作用，在不同的领域内和之间。此外，它应该有助于将该项目的结果与其他国家和理论模型联系起来。

The ideas of professionals in the fields of politics and law on what literature is, usually find the attention of literary scholarship only when there are some kind of scandals or judicial/ political interventions in the field of literature - not only in the Netherlands. In those cases, writers, critics and literary scholars mostly characterize the judicial or political statements about literature as not adequate or outdated. However, a systematic historical reconstruction of the concepts of literature of professionals in the fields of politics and law does not yet exist with regard to the Netherlands. This is where the DFG-project of the applicant comes in. This project has two parts, of which one looks at the concepts of literature of politicians in the Netherlands in the twentieth century (concentrating on the debates in the Dutch parliament) and the other at the concepts of legal experts (concentrating on the advocates active in all literary trials known in the Netherlands). Until August 2024, this project will deliver a first systematic reconstruction of dominant and less-dominant concepts of literature of professionals in the fields of politics and law in the Netherlands in the twentieth century. The renewal proposal that is presented here will focus on two main focus points. First, in how far can the reconstruction help to sharpen the established image of the development of the Dutch literary field in the twentieth century. In this context, also the potential need for adjustments or corrections of Dutch literary history will be discussed. Not only concerning the representation of political and judicial experts, but also concerning the established ideas on what are generally regarded as the dominant literary groups at specific historical moments. Second, the renewal project applied for here will aim to create a theoretical model of the three involved fields literature, politics and law in relation to the field of power. A model that will try to go beyond the case of the Netherlands. The resulting model should help to analyze the interactions between literature, politics and law more precisely, within and among the different fields. Furthermore it should help to relate the results of the project to other countries and theoretical models.
