Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 December 2010
Scholarship at Faculty of Arts
Study Subject: Literary studies
Employer: Radboud University, Nijmegen Medical Centre
Level: PhD
Scholarship Description: As a PhD student you will participate in the project “Relocated Remembrance: the Great Famine in Irish (Diaspora) Fiction, 1847-1921”. This project is funded by a Starting Grant from the European Research Council and directed by Dr. Marguérite Corporaal (principal investigator). You will conduct research on developments in the cultural remembrance of the Great Irish Famine (1845-50) in a transatlantic corpus of fiction. You will investigate how this remembrance evolves through time, from one generation to another, and across space, in diaspora. Your research should result in a doctoral thesis and should contribute to the development of a novel theoretical model about the interaction between temporal and spatial relocation in cultural remembrance. At the same time, you will analyse the genre aspects which play a dynamic role in processes of cultural remembrance, adding a new perspective to the interdisciplinary debate on media of recollection in cultural memory studies. You will be based at Radboud University Nijmegen, Faculty of Arts, Research Institute for Historical, Literary and Cultural Studies (HLCS).
