Liturgische bewegingen en feestcultuur. Een Landelijk Liturgiewetenschappelijk Onderzoekprogramma

Abstract

In 1995 a national liturgical research program started in the Netherlands initiated by the Interuniversitair Liturgisch Instituut Tilburg (Interuniversity Liturgical Institute Tilburg). This contribution presents the program, which intends to serve as a platform for already running liturgical research as well as a base for new plans and projects in the Dutch speaking area. The presentation has three approaches. First the position of the program is indicated by sketching briefly the framework of the Liturgisch Instituut and Dutch liturgical studies in general. Then it describes the program theme by considering the main aspects of liturgical change and Festkultur. Finally the individual projects participating in the program are presented. In this final part an attempt has been made to show something of the work in progress by adding bibliographical information.
