Neuware - What is the role of the humanities at the start of 21st century In the last few decades, the various disciplines of the humanities (history, linguistics, literary studies, art history, media studies) have encountered a broad range of challenges, related to the future of print culture, to shifts in funding strategies, and to the changing contours of culture and society. Several publications have addressed these challenges as well as potential responses on a theoretical level. This coedited volume opts for a different strategy and presents accessible case studies that demonstrate what humanities scholars contribute to concrete and pressing social debates about topics including adoption, dementia, hacking, and conservation. These 'engaged' forms of humanities research reveal the continued importance of thinking and rethinking the nature of art, culture, and public life.

About the Author
Aagje Swinnen is Professor in Aging Studies at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University. She has published on representations of aging in literature, photography, and film; meanings of art interventions in dementia care; and ways in which professional artists understand and give meaning to creativity in the later stages of their career in journals such as Journal of Aging Studies, The Gerontologist, Dementia, Ageing and Society, and Feminist Media Studies. Swinnen is co-founder of the European Network in Aging Studies and the open access journal Age, Culture, Humanities. Amanda Kluveld is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University. Her research focuses on the role of genealogy in academic Holocaust studies. Central to her current research project are the forgotten Jewish prisoners of the Amersfoort concentration camp (Kamp Amersfoort) from 1941–1945. Renée van de Vall is Professor in Art and Media at Maastricht University. She has published on the phenomenology of spectatorship in contemporary art and on the theory and ethics of contemporary art conservation. Between 2016 and 2019, she was project leader of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network New Approaches in the Conservation of Contemporary Art (NACCA). Joep Leerssen holds the Chair of Modern European Literature at the University of Amsterdam and is an Endowed Research Chair at Maastricht University. For his work on national stereotypes and self-images and on the comparative history of European nationalisms, he received the Spinoza Prize in 2008. He is the editor of the Encyclopedia of Romantic Nationalism in Europe (2018). Miriam Meissner is Assistant Professor at Maastricht University’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Her research explores the interrelation between cities, popular culture, political economy, and the environment. Her publica_x0002_tions include Narrating the Global Financial Crisis: Urban Imaginaries and the Politics of Myth (Palgrave, 2017) as well as the co-edited volumes The Routledge Companion to Urban Imaginaries and Global Garbage (Routledge, 2018 & 2016). Susan Schreibman is Professor of Digital Arts and Culture at Maastricht University. She works at the intersections of computationally based teaching and research in the interplay of the digital archive, cultural innovation, and participatory engagement design, processes, and projects. A focus of her research is the design and critical analysis of systems that remediate publication modalities from the analogue world, while developing new born-digital paradigms. Elisabeth Wesseling is Professor of Cultural Memory, Gender, and Diversity at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University, where she directs the Center for Gender and Diversity. She publishes on the continui_x0002_ties between postcolonial intercountry adoption and colonial practices of re-allocating and re-educating Indigenous and mixed children. Ike Kamphof works as a philosopher at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University. Her research focuses on (technologically mediated) networks of care in healthcare and nature conservation. From 2016–2018, she was project leader of the ZonMW funded project “Make believe Matters: The Moral Role Things Play in Dementia Care.” Ruud Hendriks works as a philosopher at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University. His research is focused on the role of arts, embodiment, and materiality in mental health care. He has widely published on clowning in dementia care and autistic spectrum disorders. Ruud was project-leader in the ZonMW project “Beyond autonomy and language” that aimed to develop a disability studies’ perspective on dementia. Annette Hendrikx is active as researcher in the scientific and artistic world. In both fields, her investigations, projects, expositions, and performances reflect the interest in communication. She is fascinated by the interaction between different languages (verbal, visual, embodied). Leonie Cornips holds the Chair Languageculture in Limburg at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University, and she is a senior-researcher at NL-Lab, Humanities Cluster (KNAW). She publishes on language variation, multilingualism, bidialectal child language, regional construction through language practices, and, very recently, she is making a plea for an animal turn in linguistics. Jolien Makkinga was a PhD candidate at Maastricht University and the Meertens Institute (Humanities Cluster, KNAW). Her research focuses on the linguistic construction of belonging in a nursing home. She presented her work at several national and international conferences and she published in the Journal of the Anthropological Society of Oxford. Nantke Pecht obtained her PhD at Maastricht University (2021) on the morphosyntactic and sociolinguistic aspects of a moribund coal miners’ language. Nantke holds a MA in European Linguistics and a BA in Spanish literature, language and media studies (major), and English and American Studies (minor) from the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg. She is enrolled in the Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics (LOT) and is a member of the Societas Linguistica Europaea (SLE), Algemene Vereniging voor Taalwetenschap (AVT), and the Limburgish-section of Levende Talen. Pomme van de Weerd is a linguistic anthropologist. She obtained her PhD at Maastricht University, with a fellowship from Université Libre de Bruxelles, with a dissertation based on linguistic ethnographic fieldwork among secondary school pupils in Venlo, the Netherlands.

Annika Richterich is an Assistant Professor in Digital Culture at the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences, Maastricht University. From 2019–2021, she was a Marie Sk?odowska-Curie fellow at the University of Sussex, School of Media, Arts, & Humanities. In her research and teaching, Richterich explores how social practices emerge in interaction with digital technology, and critically interrogates their normative, societal implications. She tends to focus on communities with somewhat “geeky” interests: among them (feminist) hackers, makers, and other DIY enthusiasts. Georgi Verbeeck is Professor of History at the KU Leuven and Associate Professor of Modern History and Political Culture at Maastricht University. He has published in the field of modern and contemporary political history of Germany, the politics of history, and the history of historiography. Tim van der Heijden is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Humanities of the Open University of the Netherlands. He was a member of the AMC research group between 2012 and 2016, while conducting his doctoral research in the department of Literature & Art at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS) of Maastricht University. His PhD dissertation Hybrid Histories: Technologies of Memory and the Cultural Dynamics of Home Movies, 1895–2005 investigates the relationship between changing amateur media technologies (film, video, digital media) and home movie practices from a long-term historical perspective. Joseph Wachelder, an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Maastricht University, has shown an ongoing interest in community-engaged research throughout his career. He was engaged in the establishment of UM’s Science Shop in the mid-1980s and served as a knowledge broker. His paper “Democratizing Science” (2003) evaluated strengths, weaknesses, and challenges of Dutch Science Shops at the beginning of the new millennium. The emerging engagement of science with the public in the 19th century is a recurring topic in his historical research. Costas Papadopoulos is an Assistant Professor in Digital Humanities & Cul_x0002_ture Studies at Maastricht University. His work has its roots in archaeology, digital humanities, and museum and culture studies, exploring modeling and representation at the intersections of the physical and the digital. His research advances understandings of the experience and perception of heritage; engages with debates on the role of interaction and multimodality in digital humanities; explores ways to develop digitally enhanced problem_x0002_based learning; and integrates Arts into STE(A)M learning via socially engaged research by facilitating digital literacy and creative thinking. Pip Laurenson specializes in designing and leading research within mu_x0002_seums and in the practice and theory of the conservation and stewardship of contemporary art. She is Head of Collection Care Research at Tate and Professor of Art, Collection and Care at Maastricht University. Between 2018–2021, she led the Andrew W. Mellon Funded research initiative “Reshap_x0002_ing the Collectible: When Artworks Live in the Museum.” Vivian van Saaze specializes in the study of museum practices with a focus on conservation of contemporary art and digitalization.

General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information / Privacy Policy
I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The object of the contract is the sale of goods.
(2) If an article is listed by us at AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the offer page at AbeBooks or ZVAB constitutes the binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are stored in the "shopping cart". Via the corresponding button in the navigation bar you can call up the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, all order data will be displayed again on the order overview page.
Before sending the order, you have the option of checking all information again, changing it (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the purchase.
By submitting the order via the "Buy now" button, you declare the acceptance of the offer in a legally binding manner, whereby the contract is concluded.
(4) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have stored with us is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that spam filters do not prevent it.
§ 3 Right of retention, retention of title
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights exist.
(2) In the case of used goods, the warranty period is one year from delivery of the item, deviating from the statutory regulation. The shortening of the deadline does not apply:
- culpably caused damages attributable to us from injury to life, limb or health and in the case of other damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item.
(3) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to inform us and the freight forwarder of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply with this, this will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of performance, place of jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as this does not withdraw the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence (principle of favourability).
(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the existing business relationships with us as well as the place of jurisdiction is our registered office, insofar as you are not a consumer, but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the domicile or habitual residence is not known at the time the action is brought. The right to appeal to the court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.
