Abstract

In 2012 Frederik Le Roy obtained his doctoral degree at Ghent University with a dissertation entitled Verknoopte tijd, verfrommelde geschiedenis (Entangled Time, Crumpled History). Inspired by the philosophy of history of Walter Benjamin, this research dealt with the politics of memory of performative strategies (re-enactment, historical montage, testimony) in historic and contemporary (cultural) performance.
