CLIC is proud to announce that one of our members, Professor David Gullentops, has been selected as a new member of the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts (KVAB), together with vice-rector for Internationalisation at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Professor Karin Vanderkerken. They have received this honour in recognition of their scientific merit.
As a professor in French literature and Intermediality, CLIC member David Gullentops joins the Class of Arts:
“Intermediality is one of the focuses of our research group CLIC, which is part of the Department of Language and Literature. Thanks to this recognition, the research group and the department will gain wider recognition outside VUB,” says Gullentops. “I hope to enrich the Academy by introducing intermediality as a total study discipline. All too often, not only literature and the arts but also the arts themselves are compartmentalised into separate disciplines, while their developments in the past and in current artworks are witness to countless interventions and fruitful cross-pollinations.”
