Willie van Peer is professor emeritus in the Faculty of Languages and Literature at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, Germany.

He is a linguist, literary scholar, and one of the founders of the empirical study of literature.

Van Peer has published extensively in his main areas of research: foregrounding, narratology, literary evaluation, literary theory, emotion in literature and intimate relations in literature.

1986

Investigations of Foregrounding'' (1986) was the first attempt to empirically validate the concept of foregrounding, originally developed by the Russian Formalists and Prague Structuralists.

Van Peer has been Visiting Scholar in the Departments of Comparative Literature at Stanford and at Princeton University, and in the Department of (Cognitive) Psychology at the University of Memphis.

He is also a Fellow of Clare Hall of Cambridge University and an Honorary Professor of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University.

1996

Van Peer was Vice President of the International Association of Empirical Aesthetics (IAEA, 1996–1998), Chair of the Poetics and Linguistics Association (PALA, 2000–2003) and President of the International Society for the Empirical Study of Literature (IGEL, 2004–2006).

2000

He was (co-)editor of the series Linguistic Approaches to Literature (2000–2010) and founding editor of Scientific Study of Literature (2011).

2002

The Research for the Development of Empirical Studies project (REDES, 2002–2012) was inaugurated when Willie van Peer and Frank Hakemulder (Utrecht University) were invited to teach a summer course at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and came into contact with an on-going project being carried out by Sonia Zyngier following the tenets of critical pedagogy.

They invited Anna Chesnokova (then Kyiv National Linguistic University) to join.

The central goal of the project was to promote an environment where students could become autonomous researchers through intercultural cooperation over the internet and through face to face events.

For a decade, the REDES international research group investigated culture, literature, language and media from a multicultural perspective.

2008

Directions in Empirical Literary Studies was published in his honour in 2008.
