Bart Vervaeck is Professor of Dutch Literature and Narrative Theory at the University of Leuven. He has published books on Dutch postmodern fiction (Het postmodernisme in de Nederlandse en Vlaamse roman 2015) and on the Dutch neo-avant-garde (Op zoek naar een mens 2008).His publications include the Handbook of Narrative Analysis (Nebraska University Press, 2005; 2nd edn, 2019), co-authored with L. Herman, and Stories and Minds: Cognitive Approaches to Literary Narrative (Nebraska University Press, 2013), co-edited with L. Bernaerts, D. De Geest and L. Herman. He co-ordinates ENAG (European Neo-Avant-Gardes), an international Research Network sponsored by FWO (the Flemish Foundation for Scientific Research), which brings together university scholars from Brussels, Ghent, Leuven, Liège, Paris, and Vienna.

Neo-Avant-Gardes provides nuanced critical perspectives on the resurgent avant-gardes active in Europe and elsewhere globally during the "long 1960s". With particular focus on literary intermedia and experimental writing, the authors set out new directions in the theory and history of the neo-avant-gardes, beyond previous dismissals and defenses.
