Three doctoral research fellowships are available at the ERC-project JEUX. Candidates will investigate literary games in the early-modern period, with a particular emphasis on the relationship between literary games and the developing genre of the novel.
JEUX investigates how literary authors model their own practice creatively through play. The project explores cultural practices as a potential site for creativity, innovation and community also in the contemporary world. JEUX goes beyond traditional metaphors of literature as gameplay and investigates actual literary games from theoretical, historical and empirical perspectives.
The doctoral research projects will contribute to JEUX’s investigation of representations of game-playing practices in early-modern novels, novelists’ participation in literary salons and the impact that these practices have on how the novel gets established as a genre.
