Literature in the Age of Illustrated Periodicals: Stages of the complex history of text-image relations (19th Century)

这个跨学科项目的重点是19世纪插图期刊中形成文学和图像/图片的多种关系。通过这样做，它为研究文学在现代视觉文化中所扮演的角色做出了创新性的贡献。因此，插图杂志特别重要，因为自19世纪30年代以来，它们既是文学的重要出版场所，也是培训、传播和区分图像和文本-图像-关系的中心实例。按照最近的概念，插图期刊被认为是一个复杂的集群，在这个集群中，“文学”和“图像”的思想受到一个永久的、周期性的讨论过程。因此，在贯穿19世纪的关于图像与文学关系的众多争论中，插图期刊承担着重要而具体的角色。它们上升到新的灵活谈判机构的地位：这里的文学总是同时与文本-图像-关系的多个维度结合在一起，对图像以及具体的图像进行不同的、甚至是相互冲突的讨论。因此，该项目的目的是复兴和汇集迄今为止被忽视和孤立的关于插图杂志中的文学的研究，主要问题是：在19世纪印刷媒体文化的中心区域，文学对现代视觉文化的演变和转变做出了什么贡献？在文字-图像-关系的多方面和浓缩选择的特定环境中，文学如何随着图像而逐渐变化？这里开发了哪些类型的表格？在分析四种期刊，它们是19世纪历史的中心插图杂志，(Das Pfennig-Magazin der Gesellschaft zur Verbreitung gomeinnütziger Kenntnisse(1833-1852)，Europa)。《世界纪事报》(1835-1844)，Die Gartenlabe。Illustriertes Familienblatt(1853-1937)和柏林Illustrirte Zeitung(1891/92-1945))，该项目使人们能够接触到复杂的、分支的、逐渐变化的文字-图像-关系的历史。

The interdisciplinary project focuses on the multiple relationships that forms literature and images/pictures in illustrated periodicals of the 19th century. In doing so it makes an innovative contribution to the study of the role that literature plays in modern visual cultures. Therefore, illustrated magazines are particularly important because since the 1830s they are both an important place of publication for literature and a central instance for training, dissemination and differentiation of images and text-image-relationships. Following recent conceptions, illustrated periodicals are considered as complex clusters in which ideas of "literature" and "image" are subject to a permanent, periodic process of discussion. Therefore, within the manifold controversies on the relationship between images and literature, carried on across the 19th century, illustrated periodicals assume an important and specific role. They rise to the position of new flexible institutions of negotiation: Literature here is always simultaneously brought together with multiple dimensions of text-image-relationships, with different, even conflicting discussions on images as well as with pictures in concreto. Thus, the project aims to revive and bring together the hitherto neglected and isolated research on literature in illustrated magazines in overarching issues: What contributions make literature to the evolution and transformation of modern visual culture within a central area of the 19th centurys print media culture? How literature changes gradually along with images within the magazines specific environment of multifaceted and condensed options for text-image-relationships? What range of forms are developed here? In analyzing four periodicals which are central for the history of the 19th century illustrated magazines, (Das Pfennig-Magazin der Gesellschaft zur Verbreitung gemeinnütziger Kenntnisse (1833-1852), Europa. Chronik der gebildeten Welt (1835-1844), Die Gartenlaube. Illustriertes Familienblatt (1853-1937), and Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung (1891/92-1945)), the project makes accessible a complex, ramified, gradually changed history of text-image-relations.
