This project revolves around acts of memory stimulated by and reflected as well as discussed in journal media. It is particularly interested in mnemopoietic, experimental forms of writing time that follow a commemorative logic. In this context the project explores the tension between the immediate documentation of events and historiographic narratives elaborated from a temporal distance. The premise of the study is that, due to their media-specific qualities such as topicality, periodicity, incompleteness/seriality and paratextuality, journals are preordained to select, recall, and model dates and events according to the recursive logic of anniversaries and jubilees, and thus to mark them as, in principle, historically significant and worthy of historiography.The project analyses this phenomenon via the concept of "recursiveness", which bringstogether the recurrence of journal periodicity and forms of periodic commemoration. On this basis, it examines written mnemopoietic accounts of the German Campaign of 1813–1815 in new types of journal-form, anthological, and commemorative form(at)s. These may take the form, for example, of "retrospective accounts" from the synchronous period of 1813 to 1818 or of diachronous longitudinal accounts from the 1863 and 1913 anniversaries of the Battle of Leipzig, which bring to light an increased activity or displacements in publication cycles.The aim is to acquire a nuanced understanding of the format-conditioned structures and rules governing the mnemopoietic processing of ›immediate‹ records of a time, and thus of second order forms of writing time. In doing so, the project broaches a field that has rarely been addressed in previous research. Historical studies, for example, tend to approach journal-based media formats primarily as sources and therefore focus on what they communicate. Literary studies, meanwhile, concentrate predominantly on book-form publications, and when they do consider journal-form works, address them at the level of the "text". What such approaches fail to take into account is the format-specific contribution made by the communicative medium to the commemorative logics applied to the German Campaign. The project aims to fill this lacuna on the basis of its medium- and material-centred approach. Through its analysis of second-order time writing, it contributes to the research unit’s research on cultural reception processes by showing how recursive structures illuminate the law-like nature of media constellations and transfer processes, and how the institutionalisation of memory serves to turn the ephemeral into the enduring.

该项目围绕由期刊媒体激发、反映和讨论的记忆行为展开。它对遵循纪念逻辑的记忆、实验形式的写作时间特别感兴趣。在这方面，该项目探讨了事件的即时记录和从时间距离阐述的史学叙述之间的紧张关系。本研究的前提是，由于期刊的专题性、周期性、不完备性/连贯性和旁部性等媒介特性，期刊注定要根据周年纪念和周年庆的递归逻辑来选择、回忆和模拟日期和事件，从而在原则上将它们标记为具有历史意义和史学价值的事件。在此基础上，以新的日刊形式、选集形式和纪念形式考察了1813年至1815年德军战役的文字记述。这些记述可以是，例如，1813年至1818年同期的“追溯记述”，或1863年和1913年莱比锡战役周年纪念的历时纵向记述，这些记述揭示了出版周期中活动或位移的增加。目的是对>即时<时间记录的记述处理的格式限制结构和规则有一个细微的了解。在这样做的过程中，该项目提出了一个在以前的研究中很少涉及的领域。例如，历史研究倾向于将以期刊为基础的媒体格式主要作为来源，因此关注它们所传达的内容。与此同时，文学研究主要集中在书本形式的出版物上，当他们确实考虑期刊形式的作品时，就从“文本”的层面来处理它们。这些方法没有考虑到的是，传播媒介对适用于德国竞选的纪念逻辑做出了特定于格式的贡献。该项目的目的是在以媒介和物质为中心的基础上填补这一空白。通过对二阶时间写作的分析，通过展示递归结构如何照亮媒体星座和转移过程的规律性质，以及记忆的制度化如何将短暂转化为持久，它有助于研究单位对文化接受过程的研究。
