The project is predicated on a parallel reading of Ariosto's Orlando furioso (1516/1532) and Cervantes's Don Quijote (1605/15), taking important interpretive clues from the latter's reading of the first. From this vantage point - as from the point of view of their long-term reception history - both works can be seen as crucial links in the textual chain that runs from medieval aventure to the modern novel. In both texts a reflection of earlier courtly adventure narratives takes place, destroying and at the same time transforming that type of narrative. This reflection operates mainly, but not exclusively in the mode of parody. In addition, both texts seem comparable in their basic diagnosis of a certain 'decoupling' of adventure from reality. To this state of affairs they react by splitting the narrative pattern: by entwining several different, indeed conflicting types of adventure. However, the contradictions between these types prepare the ground for narrative innovation: they generate new techniques of reflexive storytelling. Despite all the historical and poetic differences between Cervantine prose and Ariostan romanzo, this observation holds true for both texts; indeed it defines the key role they play in the process of transforming adventure into an entity of romance. By reading both works in a parallel arrangement we aim at establishing their respective positions in the genealogy of the modern novel, defining their respective narrative projects more precisely, as well as shedding new light on the contested issue of their intertextual relationship. Having thus laid the foundations for our project, we plan to work on two focus areas, one dedicated to the "Mediterranean adventure genre" in Don Quijote, the other to the "adventure of desire" in Orlando furioso.

该项目是基于对阿里奥斯托的《奥兰多·福里奥斯》(1516/1532)和塞万提斯的《唐·吉约特》(1605/15)的平行阅读，从塞万提斯对第一本的阅读中获得了重要的解释线索。从这一角度--从他们长期接受历史的角度来看--这两部作品都可以被视为从中世纪冒险到现代小说文本链中至关重要的一环。在这两个文本中，都发生了对早期宫廷冒险叙事的反思，摧毁了这种叙事，同时也改变了这种类型的叙事。这种反思主要是以戏仿的方式进行的，但不完全是这样。此外，这两本书在对冒险与现实的某种“脱钩”的基本诊断上似乎具有可比性。对于这种情况，他们的反应是分裂叙事模式：将几种不同的、实际上相互冲突的冒险类型纠缠在一起。然而，这些类型之间的矛盾为叙事创新奠定了基础：它们产生了反身性讲故事的新技巧。尽管塞万丁散文和阿里奥斯坦罗素之间在历史和诗歌上存在差异，但这一观察结果对两个文本都是正确的；事实上，它定义了它们在将冒险转变为浪漫实体的过程中所扮演的关键角色。通过平行阅读这两部作品，我们的目的是确立他们在现代小说谱系中的各自地位，更准确地定义他们各自的叙事方案，以及揭示他们之间有争议的互文关系问题。在为我们的项目奠定了基础之后，我们计划在两个重点领域开展工作，一个是致力于唐·吉约特中的“地中海冒险类型”，另一个是关于奥兰多·弗利奥索中的“欲望冒险”。
