Centre for European Reception Studies (CERES)

CERES is a research centre that wants to stimulate and support research projects that aim at a diachronic and synchronic mapping of the dynamics of textual distribution in a broad European context from the Romantic Era until the present. Its principal object of study is the impact of the distribution of literary texts on the formation of cultural identities in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Europe. The Centre favours an interdisciplinary approach that combines reception studies, book science, historical descriptive translation studies and hermeneutics. CERES is funded by HUBrussel.
