GRK 1886: Literary Form. Historical and Cultural Formations of Aesthetic Models

研究训练组以评估和推进文学研究中的模式和形式概念为主题。以这些动态的形式和模式概念为出发点，研究培训小组探索了三大主题领域：“形式理论”、“形式实践”和“形式文化”。这些焦点代表了在指定文学形式的论文项目中将涉及的历史和系统方面。 “形式理论”主题领域主要关注以下问题：不同话语、诗学和文学中的形式理论如何相互关联？这些理论之间存在哪些干扰，如何描述它们，以及它们的影响是什么？对形式理论及其各自的话语环境进行历时研究可以得到什么？模型理论的考虑在多大程度上与传统形式理论兼容，它们如何相互作用、相互支持和补充？第二个主题领域“形式实践”致力于解决以下问题：如何将流派形成描述为规定类型学（调节、封闭）与创造性创新（通用转变、出现和表现）之间的建模过程？流派的认知功能是什么？它们如何与历史话语处理、知识生产和组织策略联系起来？如何根据“内在的类属能力”现象或描述性文学史和理论的概念来分析类属机构？最后，主题领域“形式文化”涉及传统流派的地位和意义在当今全球化媒体世界中如何变化的问题。哪些规则决定了文学、电影、表演和数字类型的小说媒体连续体的形式转变？传统形式的哪些方面可以作为新格式的模型，哪些方面不能？在指导方面，研究培训小组将受益于明斯特大学研究生院“文学实践”的经验，特别是其工作资格课程。此外，研究培训小组自身的监督能力为明斯特大学广泛的学术框架内的学术网络和国际联系提供了强有力的支持。

The Research Training Group takes as its subject the assessment and advancement of the concepts of model and form in literary studies. Taking as a point of departure these dynamic concepts of form and model, the Research Training Group explores three major subject areas: "Theories of Form", "Practices of Form" and "Cultures of Form". These foci represent the historic and systematic aspects that will be approached in dissertation projects specifying literary form. The subject area "Theories of Form" is primarily concerned with the following questions: How do theories of form in different discourses, poetics and literatures relate to each other? What interferences exist between these theories, how can they be described, and what are their effects? What can be gained from a diachronic study of theories of form and their respective discursive environments? To what extent are considerations of model theories compatible with conventional theories of form, how do they interact, support and complement one another? The second subject area "Practices of Form" is dedicated to the following problems: How may genre formation be described as a modelling process between prescriptive typology (regulation, closure) and creative innovation (generic transformation, emergence and performance)? What are the genres epistemic functions? How are they linked to strategies of historical discourse processing, knowledge production and organisation? How may generic agency be analysed according to phenomena as "immanent generic competence" or concepts of descriptive literary history and theory? Finally, the subject area "Cultures of Form" relates to the question how the status and significance of traditional genres change in todays globalised medial world. Which rules determine formal transformations in the novel media continuum of literature, film, performances and digital genres? Which aspects of traditional forms do serve as models for new formats, which do not? As to mentoring, the Research Training Group will benefit from the experiences of the University of Muensters Graduate School "Practices of Literature", especially from its job qualification programme. Moreover, the Research Training Groups own supervisory capacities give strong support for academic networking and international affiliation within the University of Muensters broad academic framework.
