Hans Bertens, born in Harderwijk, the Netherlands, in 1945. Ph.D from Utrecht University. Professor of American Studies at Utrecht University.

Fellow (1 February 1992 – 30 June 1992)

During the five months that I spent at NIAS I participated in the American mass culture in Europe project and spent part of my time on a book-length history of the idea of the postmodern that was already well under way before my arrival in Wassenaar.
