The aim of this sub-project is to investigate the relations between the aesthetics of 19th century narrative literature and periodical publication formats during the same period. It will examine how the serial publication of journal texts, their appearance in different thematic and textual series, and their embeddedness within various epistemological discourses, affected the narrative structure of fictional texts. The initial hypothesis is that the increasing presence of newspapers and periodicals on the 19th century mass book market formed certain expectations in readers, which led to the incorporation of various aspects of periodical publications (e.g. serial structures, topical references, and interdiscursivity) into the design of novels and stories. It is not thereby assumed that narrative and novelistic literature reacted passively and reflexively to certain forms of periodical communication, but rather that both the periodical press and the poetics of the novel exerted a reciprocal influence on one another, so that one could speak here of a feedback effect or of a co-evolution. Our reconstruction of this co-evolution will be oriented around the concept of the "miscellany," which, as an open, 'mixed,' and serial textual form will constitute the heuristic starting point for the analysis of the structural elements of periodical publications, which will then be further refined over the course of the project. In methodological terms, the sub-project will consider typical examples of narrative texts published in periodicals, and will examine the reciprocal relations between these texts on the one hand and the various - discursive, medial, or generic - implications of their publication context. As in the research group's other sub-projects, particular attention will be given here to serial structures, the journal format, as well as to the manner in which receptive attitudes are being programmed by specific publication formats and designs. In the second stage of this sub-project, the textual vicinity of the analysed narrative texts within the respective journal issues will be illuminated; this will allow to explore a comparative corpus of previously unknown periodical literature as it will emerge alongside the canonical source texts in the course of our research. In this way, the sub-project aims to offer an alternative to the traditional categorisation of 19th century literature by referring to the media history of literary publications. In this way, the sub-project contributes both to the aesthetics of journal literature and to a revision of the canonisation process from the perspective of media history. In focussing on the serial and interdiscursive structural elements of 19th century narrative literature, it also allows for the extension of its problematic into the 20th century and up to today's media aesthetics.

这一子项目的目的是考察19世纪叙事文学美学与同一时期期刊出版形式之间的关系。它将考察期刊文本的连续出版，它们在不同的主题和文本系列中的出现，以及它们在各种认识论话语中的嵌入，如何影响小说文本的叙事结构。最初的假设是，19世纪大众图书市场上越来越多的报纸和期刊在读者中形成了一定的期望，这导致了期刊出版物的各个方面(如连载结构、主题参考文献和相互论述)融入到小说和故事的设计中。因此，并不是假设叙事文学和小说文学对某些形式的期刊传播作出被动和本能的反应，而是认为期刊出版社和小说的诗学两者相互影响，从而可以在这里谈论反馈效应或共同进化。我们对这种共同进化的重建将以“混合”的概念为导向，作为一种开放的、“混合的”和连续的文本形式，它将构成分析期刊出版物结构元素的启发式起点，然后将在项目过程中进一步细化。在方法论方面，该分项目将考虑在期刊上发表的叙述性文本的典型例子，并将一方面审查这些文本与其出版背景的各种--话语、中间或一般--含义之间的相互关系。正如在研究组的其他分项目中一样，这里将特别注意系列结构、期刊格式，以及通过具体出版物格式和设计来规划接受态度的方式。在这一分项目的第二阶段，将说明在各个期刊问题中分析的叙事文本的文本邻近情况；这将使我们能够探索以前未知的期刊文献的比较语料库，因为它将在我们的研究过程中与规范的原始文本一起出现。通过这种方式，该分项目旨在通过参考文学出版物的传媒史，为传统的19世纪文学分类提供一种替代方案。通过这种方式，子项目既有助于期刊文学的美学，也有助于从媒体史的角度对推崇过程进行修订。在关注19世纪叙事文学的连续不断和话语间的结构元素时，它也允许将其问题延伸到20世纪和今天的媒体美学。
