FOR 1091: Popular Seriality: Aesthetics and Practice

研究股汇集了来自美国研究、德国文献学、文化人类学/欧洲民族学、实证文化研究和媒体研究等领域的15名研究人员。从2010年到2013年，六个子项目将调查一种已经成为流行美学的定义特征的叙事格式：系列剧。研究股处理有关19世纪以来系列剧的广泛分布和广泛吸引力的问题，并询问通过连载出现了哪些新的叙事格式。进一步的问题是：电视剧如何影响我们感知和构建社会现实的方式？当连载角色经历一次或多次媒体转换时，他们是如何修改的？我们如何解释长期连续剧中制片人和接受者之间的界限逐渐缩小？文化差异领域的哪些转变是由复杂的系列叙事产生的，这些叙事越来越嵌入到高雅的生活方式和封圣实践中？除了在哥廷根大学的基地外，研究股在汉诺威大学、图宾根大学和卡尔斯鲁厄大学还有分项目，在波恩大学和伯尔尼大学(瑞士)也有相关项目。国际研究员由位于哥廷根的利希滕贝格-科列格酒店接待。

The Research Unit brings together 15 researchers from the fields of American Studies, German Philology, Cultural Anthropology/European Ethnology, Empirical Cultural Studies and Media Studies. From 2010 to 2013, six sub-projects will investigate a narrative format that has become a defining feature of popular aesthetics: the series. The Research Unit addresses questions concerning the wide distribution and broad appeal of series since the 19th century and asks, which new narrative formats have emerged through serialisation. Further questions are: How do series influence the way we perceive and structure social reality? How are serial characters revised when they undergo one or more media shifts? How can we explain the progressively shrinking boundaries between producers and recipients in long running series? Which transformations in the field of cultural distinctions are produced by complex serial narratives, which are increasingly embedded in highbrow lifestyles and canonisation practices? In addition to its base at the University of Göttingen, the Research Unit has sub-projects at the universities of Hannover, Tübingen and Karlsruhe, as well as associated projects at the universities of Bonn and Bern (Switzerland). International fellows are hosted by the Lichtenberg-Kolleg in Göttingen.
