De Vrouw 1813-1913-2013
Authors: Aerts Mieke , Heerma van Voss Lex 
Published: September 2015

Women 1813-1913-2013: IntroductionIn their introduction to the theme of this issue Mieke Aerts and Lex Heerma van Voss sketch very briefly a number of differences between contemporary gender history and women’s history as it emerged in the 1970s. They see gender history as moving away from a narrow focus on equal rights and emancipation: nowadays, gender is studied as a complex historical and social category, in creative dialogue with other important ‘turns’ in historiography, as epitomised by postcolonial and transnational history. In this way the articles in this issue are able to demonstrate that subjects such as consumer culture, labour relations, education and religion, are not only very relevant to gender historians, but also make a crucial contribution to our understanding of modern Dutch history. This article is part of the special issue 'De Vrouw 1813-1913'.In deze inleiding op het themanummer schetsen Mieke Aerts en Lex Heerma van Voss zeer globaal hoe hedendaagse gendergeschiedenis zich onderscheidt van vrouwengeschiedenis zoals die in de jaren zeventig van de twintigste eeuw ontstond. Het verschil is vooral gelegen in het verschuiven van de focus op emancipatie en gelijke rechten van vrouwen naar aandacht in den brede voor de complexe werking van sekse of gender als maatschappelijke categorisering. Op die manier treedt gendergeschiedenis in creatieve dialoog met bijvoorbeeld postkoloniale en transnationale wendingen in de geschiedschrijving en wordt zichtbaar dat thema’s als consumentencultuur, arbeid, opvoeding en religie niet alleen relevant zijn voor gendergeschiedenis, maar meer in het algemeen voor een beter begrip van het moderne Nederland. Dit artikel maakt deel uit van het themanummer 'De Vrouw 1813-1913'.
Benevolent Fathers and Virile Brothers: Metaphors of Kinship and the Construction of Masculinity and Age in the Nineteenth-Century Belgian Army
Authors: Hoegaerts Josephine 
Published: September 2015

This article traces the evolution of different discourses of masculinity in the nineteenth century Belgian army. It highlights specifically the way in which officers and men used concepts such as fatherliness, brotherhood, youthfulness, filial duty and other kinship metaphors to express their gendered identities and their mutual relationships within an all-male community. Despite their continued reliance on these metaphors, the ways in which the language of age and kinship was deployed in the army changed throughout the century, and most notably around 1880. As the army became 'modern', its soldiers became brothers-in-arms rather than obedient sons and its officers became virile family men rather than wise paternal greybeards. Approaching the twentieth century, when comradeship between young men would play a key-role in the self-representation of the army, youth gained importance in military structures and the muscular and sexual vigour of the young male body became central to definitions of masculinity. This article is part of the special issue 'Low Countries Histories of Masculinity'.
The Return of the Loving Father: Masculinity, Legitimacy and the French and Dutch Restoration
Authors: Lok Matthijs , Scholz Natalie 
Published: September 2015

Historians of gender often see the construction of hegemonic images of masculinity as the result of long-term cultural processes. In this article we investigate the influence of short-term political events on the shaping of dominant political masculinities by comparing the representations of the early French and Dutch Restoration monarchies. The events of the political transition of 1813-1815 greatly influenced the competition of different models of masculinity existing in the early nineteenth century. In both countries the newly established monarchs aimed to legitimate their insecure rule by presenting themselves as 'loving fathers' returning to their despairing children after the dark years of exile. The Dutch monarchy differed from the French case with regards to the role of women in the monarchical representation and the duality of the representation of William I as father and hero. Unlike Louis XVIII, William could present his fatherly rule as a return to the national tradition of domesticity (huiselijkheid).

Voorbij de verzuiling?
Authors: Rooy P. de 
Published: September 2015

J.C.H. Blom, J. Talsma, De verzuiling voorbij. Godsdienst, stand en natie in de lange negentiende eeuw Beyond Pillarization?This paper discusses a group of studies carried out at the University of Amsterdam on pillarization at a local level. Participants in this research programme concluded that additional research on the subject would be beneficial as it would provide a better understanding of how religion, social hierarchy and state- and nation-building developed. For this purpose, a brief outline of the pillarization process on a national level (1816-1917) with some concluding remarks is given: all pillars were different (in origin, structure and function); pillarization can only be understood if it is viewed as a dynamic process of rivalry; and, the liberals did not succeed in pillar formation, perhaps because they placed too much trust in their own position within the state, the law and the university. Pillarization is the term used to describe a vertical social stratification system in the Netherlands based on religious denomination.
De maat genomen. De Nederlandse economie in de negentiende eeuw
Authors: Griffiths R.T. , Jong J. de 
Published: September 2015

Taking Stock. The Dutch economy in the Nineteenth CenturyThe publication entitled Nederland, 1780-1914. Staat, Instituties en Economische Ontwikkeling [The Netherlands, 1780-1914. The State, Institutions and Economic Development] is the culmination of a large-scale project called the Reconstruction of the Dutch National Accounts. The analyses are based on new data generated by the project. The results confirm firstly the occurrence of economic growth during the first half of the 19th century and, secondly, that the process of modern economic growth originated around 1860. Furthermore, the book stands out for its analysis of the interaction between politics and the economy. However, there are mistakes and inconsistencies in the way the statistics, on which the analyses are based, are presented. Also, the absence of any international comparisons in the book represents a missed opportunity. This review is part of the discussion forum Nederland 1780-1914 (J.L. van Zanden, A. van Riel).
Der geeichte Eichpunt - niederländische Kultur um 1650 europäisch kontextualisiert: 'Bevochten eendracht' von Willem Frijhoff und Marijke Spies
Authors: Schilling H. 
Published: September 2015

The paper evaluates the 1650-IJkpunt-volume as a well-conceptualized and well-written example of up-to-date, national cultural history in a European perspective, which should serve as a historiographical model for research and syntheses on other national cultures and histories in early modern Europe. It comments in detail first on the theoretical and methodological principles of research and writing on early modern European societies after the end of the continent's division into two power blocs (§ I). Second, on the implications of 'time' and 'space', in which 1650 acts as a starting point for both the geographical meaning of 'Europe' and its cultural history, and it is argued, from a cultural perspective, that a specific type of Latin-European civilization should be distinguished from the Orthodox-European type of civilization on the one hand and from the transatlantic offshoots of Latin civilization on the other. Research should focus on the exchange between these different civilizations, with emphasis on the benefits and returns of this exchange for Latin Europe, especially for the agents of European expansion such as Dutch society (§ II). Finally, the paper focuses in more detail on issues such as the meaning of education and literature, political culture, the relationship between Church and State and tolerance within early modern Dutch society and culture. This review is part of the discussion forum IJkpunt 1650.
Bevochten eendracht? Beklonken tweespalt!
Authors: Lem A. van der 
Published: September 2015

It is highly regrettable that a history of the Netherlands seen from five focal points starts with the year 1650. Could this be a nineteenth-century interpretation of Dutch history, to consider the Dutch Republic as the starting point of our past? The years 1500 or 1550 — or an even earlier date — would have been a far more appropriate starting point. Despite the fact that the Dutch pride themselves on being very European-minded, they often neglect the history of the Southern Netherlands and Belgium. This negligence has to do with the tendency of the Dutch to overestimate the importance of their own culture: Many historians believe that the entire world is fascinated by the (contemporary) history of the Netherlands. Within the series, the lack of coherence between the cultural and the political history of the country is striking. The authors and the publisher are also to blame for the inconsistency between the content and the illustrations. This review is part of the discussion forum IJkpunt 1650.
De burger als eunuch
Authors: Sas N.C.F. van 
Published: September 2015

'1800. Blueprints for a society' argues the case for the primacy of culture in late 18th-century Dutch society. Drawing upon the work of a generation of dix-huitiémistes it presents an impressive and highly readable overview of the Dutch Enlightenment. Unfortunately, this cultural vantage-point also results in a rather one-sided, if not positively unhistorical reading of this period which — by all accounts so far — was highly charged with politics. In fact, an opportunity is missed to connect the Enlightened civil society of the 1760s and 1770s with the revolutionary developments of the 1780s and 1790s. This review is part of the discussion forum IJkpunt 1800.
Afscheid van de stapelmarkt
Authors: Veluwenkamp J.W. 
Published: September 2015

C. Lesger, Handel in Amsterdam ten tijde van de Opstand. Kooplieden, commerciële expansie en verandering in de ruimtelijke economie van de Nederlanden ca. 1550-ca. 1630 Farewell to the Staple Market, Jan Willem VeluwenkampLesger argues that Amsterdam's essential function in international trade in the seventeenth century was turnover promotion through price stabilisation. Claiming that the relevant mechanism involved information provision rather than stockpiling, he convincingly bids farewell to the historiographical tradition of the Amsterdam staple market and introduces Amsterdam as the centre of information provision. I contest two aspects of Lesger's argument. Unlike him, I do not think that information provision was decisive in Amsterdam's commercial expansion around 1600: Prior to 1585, information exchange and expansion were characteristic for Antwerp too. The Amsterdam acceleration essentially involved the penetration of Asia and the Atlantic area, which was mainly provoked by the war. In addition, I think that Lesger underestimates the Dutch intermediate trade. On the one hand, Dutch industry-related import and export were more significant than he indicates. On the other hand, he attaches too little meaning to the fact that Dutchmen dominated international commerce even when they did not steer all commodity flows via the Dutch Republic. This review is part of the discussion forum 'Handel in Amsterdam' (Clé Lesger).
Continuïteit en verandering in de handelsgeschiedenis van Amsterdam
Authors: Gelderblom O. 
Published: September 2015

Continuity and change in the trading history of Amsterdam, Oscar GelderblomThis article argues that Clé Lesger's Handel in Amsterdam (2001) overestimates the impact of the Dutch Revolt on the emergence of the Amsterdam market as the centre for international trade. The immigration of merchants from Brabant and Flanders at the end of the sixteenth century was a direct outcome of the increased economic interaction between Antwerp and Amsterdam after 1540. It was indeed after they had settled in the Dutch port that these newcomers accumulated most of their considerable wealth. Finally, Amsterdam's faceless markets for foodstuffs, raw materials, industrial products, and transportation services played just as important a role in the efficient exchange of information as the international networks of the Antwerp merchants. This review is part of the discussion forum 'Handel in Amsterdam' (Clé Lesger).

Response, Clé LesgerIn my book I have linked Amsterdam's remarkable trade expansion to the radical reorientation of the spatial economy in the Low Countries and the collapse of the gateway-system that had been in operation for the greater part of the sixteenth century. The shock that triggered this change was the Revolt and the politico-military schism of the north (the Republic) and the south (the Spanish Low Countries). During the reorientation process, Amsterdam was able to get hold of the flow of commodities and information previously shared between a number of different key sites in the Low Countries, and this did not remain confined to the existing flow of goods and information. With its expansion towards Asia and the Atlantic area, Amsterdam's commercial network grew to unprecedented proportions, and this too was fundamentally different to the situation in Antwerp prior to 1585. With reference to Veluwenkamp's second discussion point, I wish to emphasize that it was never my intention to undermine the importance of Amsterdam's intermediate trade. Instead, I was trying to make it clear that far from having the same features as staple trade, the intermediate trade of the early modern period bore a much closer resemblance to modern intermediate trade. Furthermore, in concordance with modern literature, I do not attribute the industry-related import and export flows to intermediate trade. Goods that were traded by the merchants of Amsterdam, but which never crossed the Republic's borders, of course fell under the category of intermediate trade. However, it has proved impossible to establish just how extensive this flow of goods and information actually was, and this is why I have been deliberately cautious about commenting on its importance to Amsterdam's intermediate trade. Contrary to what Gelderblom appears to suggest, I am not of the opinion that the merchantmigrants from the Southern Low Countries, particularly Antwerp, were the root cause of Amsterdam's commercial heyday (see above). However, my analysis of the archive of the Bank of Amsterdam does clearly show that the Southern Low Countries merchant-migrants were certainly more active and successful than average. In addition, when recalculated, the figures in Table 1 of Gelderblom's review also support this conclusion. I searched for the key to the successful business acumen of the Southern Low Countries migrants in different areas, including: their participation in existing and newly established trading networks set up by their fellow kinsmen; their capital; and, the knowledge possessed by several prominent merchants who originally hailed from Antwerp, as well as in the isolated position occupied by Southern-Low Countries migrant-merchants in Amsterdam society. Up until about 1630 they were exempted from many social functions in their new locality and so invested relatively more time and energy in trade. This response is part of the discussion forum 'Handel in Amsterdam' (Clé Lesger).
De rol van de mensenrechten in het buitenlandse beleid van Nederland na 1945. Politicologische en historische literatuur

Grünfeld, Human rights in the foreign policy of the Netherlands E.M. van den Berg, The influence of domestic NGOs on Dutch human rights policy. Case studies on South Africa, Namibia, Indonesia and East Timor. The role of human rights in post-1945 Dutch foreign policy: Politicological and historical literature, Maarten KuitenbrouwerThe second Dutch government under Prime Minister Kok fell in 2002 following the publication of a critical report by the Dutch Institute for Wartime Documentation (NIOD) on the Srebenica issue. This event forms the starting point for a review of the recent literature on the role of human rights in Dutch foreign policy during the last few decades in both political science and history. Both disciplines share the 'decisionmaking analysis' in international relations theory as a common background. In addition, political scientists and historians have often found themselves researching the same human rights issues that affect Dutch relations with a series of non-Western countries. An explanation of Dutch policy is usually sought based on a combination of internaland external factors. In general, comparative analyses and research into its effectiveness are still conspicuous by their absence. All in all, there are more similarities than differences between recent political and historical studies on the role of human rights in Dutch foreign policy.
Politieke cultuur tussen cultuurgeschiedenis en politieke geschiedenis
Authors: Bosmans J. 
Published: September 2015

H. te Velde, Stijlen van leiderschap. Persoon en politiek van Thorbecke tot Den Uyl Jac Bosmans, The political culture between political history and the history of civilizationIn principle, the author agrees with Te Velde's choice of Thorbecke, Kuyper, Colijn, Drees and Den Uyl as examples of styles of policy-making which, with the benefit of hindsight, seem to be an apt expression of the political spirit of their days, though he does place a few question marks against the choice of Colijn and Drees. In addition, he advocates the establishment of a mutually beneficial co-operative relationship between tfiose political historians who focus in particular on investigating the cultural aspects of politics and those who are more interested in examining the actual results. He argues that this kind of co-operation is necessary in order to withstand the tendency of many cultural historians to claim almost the entire past as the focus of their research, a claim which leaves no room for political history as a separate field of study. This review is part of the discussion forum 'Stijlen van leiderschap' (H. te Velde).

Response, Henk te VeldeDuring my research I have greatly benefited from the historiography of political parties and I agree with Bosmans that the relatively new approach of political culture should collaborate with classic political history. However, I am more interested in similarities between different political currents and how they compare with the international scene. Another area of particular interest for me is the public aspect of political leadership and how this relates to the time in which it takes place. The issue is, therefore, not the party political aspects of Colijn's leadership but rather the praise he received at that time from outside his own party. The most prominent political leaders were not modest administrators but 'partisan', controversial members of the best-organised and strongest parties, such as the orthodox Protestant ARP. Among many other things, I analyse the relevance of clichés about 'Calvinist' and 'religious' politics with regard to the public appeal of ex-orthodox Protestant Den Uyl. Unfortunately, however, Van Deursen seems to believe, unjustly, that I am expressing my own personal opinion on Calvinism. This response is part of the discussion forum 'Stijlen van leiderschap' (H. te Velde).
