Historical-critical edition of Otto Ludwig's »Romanstudien«

该项目的目的是对作家奥托·路德维希（Otto Ludwig，1813-1865）的遗产《Romanstudien》（《小说研究》）进行历史批判。路德维希是世纪德国现实主义的主要作者之一。然而，他的这一立场与其说是由于他的文学作品，不如说是由于他广泛的理论工作。所谓的“Romanstudien”是这项工作的一个特别相关的部分。这本书是路德维希在15年的时间里用来记录他对小说理论的思考的一本练习册。除了对现实主义诗学的重要论述外，这些日记式的笔记还对叙事结构进行了深入的考察，在许多方面为世纪的叙事理论埋下了伏笔。因此，“Romanstudien”的版本不仅对德国现实主义的研究非常重要，而且对叙事学的跨学科领域也非常重要。路德维希文本的完整和关键版本尚未出版。拟本首次按照现代版本文献学的标准提供了全文。编辑文本的指导原则是以可读和可引用的形式呈现路德维希的笔记，而不忽视手稿的零碎和私人性质。该版本将包括广泛的注释和详细的索引，使读者能够充分理解文本中的论证和概念关系。“Romanstudien”版本将首先以印刷形式出版。为了确保研究数据的再利用和长期提供，计划将电子数据转换为机器可读形式，并将这些数据储存在数字储存库中。虚拟研究环境TextGrid为此提供了必要的基础设施。与负责项目管理的哥廷根国立大学图书馆达成了使用TextGrid的协议。数据的转换和存储为未来开发混合版本奠定了基础，在混合版本中，手稿页面的数字化复制品，transname及其XML代码在编辑文本旁边呈现。

The aim of the project is a historical-critical edition of the »Romanstudien« (»Studies on the novel«), a text from the estate of the writer Otto Ludwig (1813-1865). Ludwig is one of the main authors of the German realism of the 19th century. However, he owes this position not so much to his literary texts, but rather to his extensive theoretical work. The so-called »Romanstudien« are a particularly relevant part of this work. It is a workbook which was used by Ludwig over the period of 15 years to record his thoughts on the theory of the novel. Beside important statements on the poetics of Realism, these diary-like notes contain thorough examinations on the structure of narrative, foreshadowing the narrative theory of 20th and 21st century in many regards. The edition of the »Romanstudien« is therefore of high importance not only for research in German realism but also for the interdisciplinary field of narratology. A complete and critical edition of Ludwigs text still has not been published yet. For the first time, the planned edition offers the full text according to the standards of the modern edition philology. The guiding principle for the constitution of the edited text is to present Ludwigs notes in a readable and quotable form without ignoring the fragmentary and private character of the manuscript. The edition will include extensive annotations and a detailed index which enables the reader to fully understand the argumentative and conceptual relationships in the text.The edition of the »Romanstudien« will first be published in print form. In order to ensure the re-use and long-term availability of research data, it is planned to convert the transcriptions in machine-readable form and to store this data in a digital repository. The virtual research environment TextGrid provides the necessary infrastructure for this purpose. An agreement on the use of TextGrid has been reached with the Göttingen State and University Library, which is responsible for the project management. The conversion and storing of the data lay the ground for the future development of a hybrid edition in which the digitized reproductions of the manuscript pages, the transcriptions and their XML-Codes are presented next to the edited text.
