Asceticism, so it is argued in this volume, is a modern category. The ubiquitous cult of the body, of fitness and diet equally evokes the ongoing success of ascetic practices and beliefs. Nostalgic memories of hardship and discipline in the army, youth movements or boarding schools remain as present as the fashionable irritation with the presumed modern-day laziness. In the very texture of contemporary culture, age-old asceticism proves to be remarkably alive. Old ascetic forms were remoulded to serve modern desires for personal authenticity, an authenticity that disconnected asceticism in the course of the nineteenth century from two traditions that had underpinned it since classical antiquity: the public, republican austerity of antiquity and the private, religious asceticism of Christianity. Exploring various aspects such as the history of the body, of aesthetics, science, and social thought in several European countries (Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria and Belgium), the authors show that modern asceticism remains a deeply ambivalent category. Apart from self-realisation, classical and religious examples continue to haunt the ascetic mind. …

Paperback, Nederlands, originele uitgeversomslag, 16x24 cm., 188 pp. ISBN 9789058673213. Symbolae Facultatis Litterarum Lovaniensis - Series B : 30. Ambitieus was het doel wel dat de Antwerpse geschiedschrijver Jan Des Roches zich op het einde van de achttiende eeuw stelde. Aangespoord door de ontwikkeling van de Belgische natie zocht hij in het verleden een nationale oorsprong, richting en zin. Over die tocht van Des Roches en zijn collega's gaat dit boek, waarin de eenheid van de natie, haar vrijheid en de gewelddadigheid van haar verleden een hoofdrol opeisen. De drie topoi vormden een intieme eenheid: de Belgische natie, zo luidde het in het boek van de natie, had door de tumultueuze geschiedenis heen haar vrijheidsliefde en eenheid van karakter steeds weer weten te bewaren. Na de Belgische Revolutie klonk het dat zij in 1830 -een laatste gewelddadige oprisping- die vrijheid definitief had gevestigd. De zin en de finaliteit van de geschiedenis waren een. Die mening deelden in elk geval de talloze historisch geinteresseerden die na de Onafhankelijkheid - in een sfeer van romantische hoogdravendheid - een brede en diepgaande interesse in het nationaal verleden betoonden. Toch stuitte hun eenheidsstreven op de 'provinciale' verdeeldheid van het verleden, in hun zoektocht naar de nationale vrijheidsdrang ontdekten zij ook een verdrukt en trouweloos verleden. De tijd leek ook voor de Belgische historici sinds 1789 van zijn ankers losgeslagen. De toegang tot het verleden was versperd, de romantici vereerden een land dat nooit uit de doden kon worden gewekt. Een 'veld van eer', maar toch ook 'een 'ondoordringbaar labyrint'. 0 g.…
