Jesseka Batteau shows how Gerard Reve, Jan Wolkers and Maarten ’t Hart texts and performances can be understood as instances of religious and post-religious memory with a broad public impact. They contributed to a widely shared perspective on the Dutch religious past and a collective understanding of what secularisation consists of. This uniquely interdisciplinary approach combines insights from literary studies, memory studies, media studies and religious studies and traces the complex dynamics of the circulation of memory and meaning between literary texts, mass media and embodied performances within a post-religious society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Batteau eindigt haar boek met een beschouwing over Lale Gül die zich verzet tegen haar islamistische opvoeding en komt zo ook weer terug bij Rushdie. Het boek geeft een mooi beeld van de naoorlogse morele veranderingen in de Nederlandse samenleving.”      - In Utrecht University, October 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Illustrations    Introduction    1 Cultural Memory, the Author and Post-Religious Identity   1\tCultural Memory: A Constructivist Definition   2\tPerforming Memory: Embodiment, Repertoire and the Scenario   3\tLiterature and Memory: Mediations, Mimesis and Rhetoric    3.1\tRepresenting Memory in Literature: Rhetoric and Techniques   4\tThe Author as Figure of Memory   5\tAutobiographical Interpretation   6\t(Post-)Religious Memory    2 Cultural and Religious Transformations in the Netherlands   1\tSecularisation and Religious Transformation    1.1\tReligious and Ideological Communities before 1960    1.2\tSeculariation and Religious Transformation after 1960    1.3\tTransformation and Modernisation within the Churches    1.4\tSexuality as Index of Secularisation in the Netherlands   2\tMass Media, Religion and ‘The Sixties’    2.1\tImages and Narratives of Secularisation\/Religious Transformation    2.2\t‘The Sixties’ as Extended Media Event    2.3\tThe Provo’s: 1965–1967   3\tShifting Parameters in the Literary Domain    3.1\tLiterature and Authorship before 1960    3.2\tAuthorship after 1960    3.3\tApproach    3 (Dis)playing the Roman Catholic Tradition: Gerard Reve   1\tIntroduction   2\tFirst Hints of Reve’s Religiosity (1947–1962)    2.1\tReve’s Debut and the ‘Apotheosis’    2.2\tFirst Mention of Reve’s Religiosity: ‘Ja, ik ben een christen’   3\tLiterary Confession and the Appropriation of Religious Discourse (1963–1966)    3.1\tFirst Volume of Letters: Op weg naar het einde (1963)   4\tThe Staging of the (Post-)Religious (1966–1969)    4.1\tReve’s Conversion    4.2\tThe Blasphemy Trial as an Enactment of Religious Transformation    4.3\tTheatricality and Reve’s ‘Consecration’ in the Allerheiligste Hart-Church    4.4\t‘Fag-Church’: Public Responses to the ‘New Church-Service’   5\tRestagings (1970–2006)    5.1\tExhaustion of the Provocative Function    5.2\tReve as Figure of Memory    5.3\tThe Death of an Icon    5.4\tConclusion    4 Processing the Protestant Past: Jan Wolkers   1\tIntroduction   2\tAutobiographical Framing, Affect and the Protestant Past (1963)    2.1\tFirst Encounters with Wolkers’ Protestant Past    2.2\tConfessional Prose and ‘afrekening’: Representing a Post-Religious Generation    2.3\tThe Bible and Two Modes of Remembrance    2.4\tMemorable Reading I: Mutilation, Death and Decay    2.5\tMemorable Reading II: Sex   3\tWolkers’ Authorial Persona in Interviews (1963–1964)    3.1\tAuthorial Confirmation of the Autobiographical    3.2\tGerard Reve versus Jan Wolkers    3.3\tRepresenting the Body of the Author: Affect and Repertoire   4\tPost-Protestant Memory: Terug naar Oegstgeest (1965)    4.1\tFarewell to the Father: De hond met de blauwe tong (1964)    4.2\tConstructing a Post-Protestant Identity: Terug naar Oegstgeest (1965)    4.3\tPerforming Post-Protestant Memory in the Media   5\tSexuality as Vehicle of Identity    5.1\tTurks Fruit (1969)    5.2\tThe Transformation of Wolkers’ Image    6\tThe persistence of the Protestant past    6.1\tCondensing Post-Protestant Identity    6.2\tThe Death of an Icon    6.3\tConclusion    5 Embodying Post-Protestant Identity: Maarten ’t Hart   1\tIntroduction   2\tIs the Religious Past Really Past?
