Professor Hendrik Van Gorp was dean of the Arts Faculty, head of the department of Literary Studies and a prominent and unfailingly inspiring member of the section for General and Comparative Literature. At the end of the academic year 1999-2000 he retired from his academic post. On Saturday May the 6th he delivered his valedictory lecture: Tussen interpretatie en wetenschap: academische literatuurstudie? On this occasion his colleagues offered him 'Under Construction. Links for the Site of Literary Theory', a collection of essays written by international scholars. This volume is both an act of homage to Hendrik Van Gorp and a representation of the diverse areas of literary research in which he has been active: narratology, hermeneutics, the study of translation and adaptation, and the study of literary dynamics.
