Fiction and Genre Contributions to a literary history of referentializing reading after the establishment of the modern practice of fiction

本研究的目的是证明在18世纪后30年现代小说实践确立之后，存在着特定体裁的指称阅读技巧，并描述它们各自的特点，解释它们在历史语境中的作用。为此，该项目对不同时期的接待文件进行了典型分析。该项目的重点是虚构的，构成现实相关的体裁的autofiction，历史小说，“倾向性小说”（胚芽。Tendenzroman），和roman-à-clef以及三个核心研究时期，这些体裁变得非常时尚。因此，文学史上的既定方法得到了一种明确的接受导向视角的补充，这种视角首先关注特定的体裁，而不是“个人作品”，第二，承认这些作品的虚构性维度是核心，第三，有助于现代小说实践的分化。具体的阅读实践，以及它们之间的类型分配和意义分配的区别及其具体规范，运用行为学的方法，定量和定性地分析了文学批评家对所选类型代表的接受。此外，该项目确定了特定类型的阅读实践和现代小说性实践之间的关系;它开发了一个类型学的参考阅读实践;它解释了上述类型的时尚性的背景下，特定区域的知识系统的重新分配。总体目标是通过对德国文学史上重要事件的典型分析，为现代小说实践中的阅读参考文学史做出根本性贡献。

The aim of the research project is to demonstrate the existence of genrespecific referentialising reading techniques after the establishment of modern fiction practice in the last third of the 18th century, to describe them in their respective specifics, and to explain their function in the historical context. To this end the project conducts exemplary analyzes of reception documents from different periods. The project focuses on the fictional, constitutively reality-related genres of autofiction, historical novel, "tendentious novel" (germ. Tendenzroman), and roman-à-clef as well as three core study periods in which these genres became very fashionable. Thus, established approaches in literary history are supplemented by a decidedly reception-oriented perspective, which first focuses on specific genres instead of the category "individual work", which secondly recognizes the fictionality dimension of these works as central and which contributes thirdly to the thesis of the differentiation of the modern practice of fiction.In order to demonstrate genre-specific reading practices with their regularities between genre assignment and assignment of meanings as well as their specific norms, the literary critics' reception of selected genre representatives is analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively using a praxeological method. Furthermore, the project determines the relationship between genre-specific reading practices and modern fictionality practices; it develops a typology of referentializing reading practices; and it explains the fashionability of the abovementioned genres against the backdrop of area-specific repartitions of the knowledge system. The overall objective is to make a fundamental contribution to the literary history of referentializing reading within the modern practice of fiction through exemplary analyzes of significant episodes of German literary history.
