The research project develops a comprehensive analysis of printed dedications, their functions and developments, in German literature of the 19th and 20th century. Currently, research on dedications has flourished internationally as well as interdisciplinarily: As paratexts, dedications form an interface between an author, the main text of his work, and its recipient. They therefore hold the promise of new insights in regards to history of literature, contemporary history and reception theory. The project submitted systematically links these aspects that so far have at the most been reviewed separately, and hence provides the international research on dedications with essential new impulses. It combines an ample historical approach that for the first time is based on a broad data collection with philological case studies that analyze the praxis of dedicating as a literary technique and as an significant element in an author’s poetics. On the one hand, the proposed monograph reconstructs the development of dedicating as a literary praxis that is still relevant today in German literature with its epochal and socio-historical characteristics since 1800. This part is based on a statistical survey for the years 1800 to 1899, supplemented with a sample from the 20th century focusing on the 1960s. On the other hand, it demonstrates the paradigmatic relevance of its aesthetic function in literary texts. Analyzing the diverse functions of dedications in regards to economy (forms of patronage), reception theory and strategies in forming an oeuvre (Werkpolitik) from 1800 to 1999, the monograph fills a striking academic void in German literary studies. The praxis of dedicating in German literature after 1800 is determined historically and aesthetically as well as typologically. It therefore allows subsequent research projects to link to its results and use them as base for further analysis of dedications in new contexts (e.g. research focused on different historical periods or language areas, or in musical studies, history of art and history of science). Consequently, the project submitted can serve as a theoretical model for paratext studies due to its innovative combination of procedures from Digital Humanities with classical hermeneutic philological methods. The data sets collected for the historiographical part of the project will be made publically available for subsequent research via the open access document server at the Zentrum für Literatur- und Kulturforschung. The comprehensiveness of the master data and the meta data collected also makes them useful for research focusing on aspects beyond dedications.

该研究项目对19世纪和20世纪世纪德国文学中的印刷品及其功能和发展进行了全面分析。目前，关于献词的研究在国际上和跨学科上都很活跃：作为副文本，献词形成了作者、其作品的主要文本和接受者之间的界面。因此，他们有望在文学史、当代史和接受理论方面提供新的见解。提交的项目系统地将迄今为止最多单独审查的这些方面联系起来，从而为关于奉献的国际研究提供了重要的新动力。它结合了丰富的历史方法，第一次是基于广泛的数据收集与文献学案例研究，分析奉献作为一种文学技巧和作为一个重要因素，在作者的诗学实践。一方面，建议专着重建的发展，奉献作为一个文学实践，仍然是相关的今天在德国文学与其时代和社会历史的特点，自1800年以来。这一部分是基于1800年至1899年的统计调查，辅以20世纪世纪的样本，重点是20世纪60年代。另一方面，它在文学文本中的审美功能也具有聚合关联性。这本专著分析了1800年至1999年期间在经济（赞助形式）、接受理论和形成作品（作品政治）的策略方面的各种功能，填补了德国文学研究中一个引人注目的学术空白。1800年以后德国文学中的奉献实践是由历史、美学和类型学决定的。因此，它允许后续的研究项目链接到其结果，并将其作为在新环境中进一步分析奉献的基础（例如，专注于不同历史时期或语言领域的研究，或音乐研究，艺术史和科学史）。因此，提交的项目可以作为一个理论模型的副文本研究，由于其创新的数字人文程序与经典的解释学语言学方法相结合。为该项目的历史部分收集的数据集将通过Zentrum für Literatur- und Kulturforschung的开放获取文件服务器以电子方式提供给随后的研究。收集的主数据和Meta数据的全面性也使它们对专注于奉献之外的方面的研究非常有用。
