Cultural participation and public emancipation.On German-language Jewish publishing in the 19th century

由于世纪末以来的社会变革和犹太人生活世界的日益世俗化，欧洲犹太人的阅读文化、语言文化和交际文化都发生了重大的变化。在中欧和东欧，德语是公民解放和文化融合的“帝国”语言，也是科学和学术的关键语言。在此背景下，拟议的研究项目旨在研究德语犹太出版社的欧洲和跨国结构和世纪在此背景下发展的阅读文化，通过对选定作品的解释和历史背景化的棱镜，其传播和接收。在方法论上，对具有代表性的出版社及其历史分类进行文本分析调查，试图重建文化和政治变革以及文学和科学经典的相关形成。在这方面，该项目将探讨从传统有序的生活世界的过渡，以及在1871年德意志国家和民族成立之前，参与德语文化的尝试-最初被认为是开放的，仍在形成中。为此，该项目着眼于出版社Veit & Comp.从19世纪30年代中期到约。1860年，1855年至1873年期间促进犹太文学研究所（Institut zur Förderung der israelitischen Literatur）的概念和结构，以及19世纪下半叶，F. A.布罗克豪斯。在分析主题和具体文本的具体形式和设计的沿着，该项目还调查了主要文学和科学学术出版物的生产和分销途径，沿着它们在一般出版和图书销售行业中的交流。通过对19世纪德语文学和犹太教科学语料库的部分重建，本研究的主要目的是描述传播犹太人知识和关于犹太人知识的媒体和传播策略。本研究旨在为这些出版企业及其产品在欧洲德语区的活动和影响提供新的视角，在这一时期，犹太人的政治和社会现代化进程正在进行。

As a result of social changes since the end of the 18th century and the increasing secularization of Jewish life worlds, the cultures of reading, language and communication of the Jews in Europe underwent significant transformation. In Central and Eastern Europe, the German language functioned as an "imperial" language of civil emancipation and acculturation, and a key language of the sciences and scholarship. Against this backdrop, the proposed research project seeks to examine the European and transnational structure of the German-language Jewish publishing houses and the reading cultures developing in this context during the 19th century, seen through the prism of an interpretation and historical contextualization of selected works, their dissemination and reception. Methodologically, a text-analytical investigation of representative publishing houses and their historical classification will attempt to reconstruct the cultural and political changes and the associated formation of a literary and scientific canon. In this connection, the project will explore the transition from a traditionally ordered life world and the attempt to participate in German-speaking culture - initially perceived as open and still in formation - before the creation of the German state and nation in 1871. To this end, the project looks at the publishing house Veit & Comp. from the mid-1830s until ca. 1860, the concept and structure of the Institut zur Förderung der israelitischen Literatur (Institute for the Promotion of Jewish Literature) for the period between 1855 and 1873, and for the second half of the 19th century, the Judaica program of the publishing house F. A. Brockhaus. Along with an analysis of the themes and the specific forms and design of concrete texts, the project investigates the paths of production and distribution of central literary and scientific-scholarly publications, along with their exchange in the general publishing and book selling trade. A key aim is to describe - by means of a partial reconstruction of the corpus of the German-language literature and the Science of Judaism in the 19th century - the media and communication strategies in which knowledge by and knowledge about Jews was passed on. The study seeks to cast new light on the activity and impact of these publishing enterprises and their products in the German-speaking area of Europe, viewed against the backdrop of the ongoing processes of political and social modernization among Jewries in that period.
