项目摘要

Over the last two centuries culture industries have made a dramatic contribution to the birth of a supranational heritage of popular icons, characters and stories. From the very beginning of this phenomenon, popular literature has been one of the key media for the circulation of texts and images from one country to another. Despite the need to address such crucial aspects of modern society, studies on the history of the transnational dimension of popular culture have only recently started to appear. Previous attempts, however, have always been confronted with the problem of dealing with an immense amount of data. The proposed project intends to address the question of how to conduct surveys of this production through the use of dedicated digital tools. Thanks to the database created by the Popular Literature and Media Culture association (LPCM), and the collaboration with the European Library, three research teams from the Universities of Belfast, Limoges and Debrecen will be able to harvest the catalogues of the 48 European national libraries and to analyse the transnational dimension of popular fiction with the help of maps and graphs.The present proposal builds on 5 years of collaborative work carried out by an established network of European universities. In 2008, an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars received funding from the European Commission's Culture Programme for a ground-breaking initiative entitled EPOP: Popular Roots of European Culture through Film, Comics and Serial Literature (1850-1930). In 2011, this group gave birth to the LPCM, currently involving researchers from 15 countries, in Europe and beyond. In 2012-2013, to support the initiatives of the LPCM with an innovative research and networking tool, the IT Services of the University of Limoges developed the database at the core of the project.A major objective of the planned activities is to verify the possibility of using the database to establish collaboration with non-academic institutions such as national and specialised libraries. In addition to the important relationship with the European Library, the project involves a close collaboration with the Library of Crime Literature (Bilipo) a Parisian public library exclusively concerned with crime-themed publications. The researchers involved in the project will work together with the staff of the library to assist them in using the database as a tool to better organize and study their own collection and to promote its contents through virtual exhibitions.Crime fiction has been chosen as a case study to test the potential of the database and to develop additional search, organisational and visualization tools that are able to answer the participants' research questions. By harvesting the European Library's repositories, the three research teams, all trained by specialists of this literary genre, will look at how crime novels have been held and catalogued throughout the twentieth century in a number of European countries. Research will be focused on the comparison of the different (trans-)national corpora to emerge from this survey, and to discuss how to use geomatic and statistical approaches to analyse and visualise the collected data. Established accounts of the history of the genre will be challenged through a quantitative perspective whose aim in particular is to stress the lack of transnational studies.Other outputs include: two workshops and a conference to disseminate the research results; a special issue of the peer-reviewed journal Belphégor, that will include a selection of the conference papers; two virtual exhibitions; a series of public events, with the participation of several European authors of crime fiction; the submission of a grant application to the AHRC or the ERC to expand the implementation of the technical instruments, and to make them accessible to researchers working on other corpora in all areas of literary studies.

在过去的两个世纪中，文化产业为流行偶像、人物和故事的超国家遗产的诞生做出了巨大贡献。从这一现象出现之初起，通俗文学就一直是文本和图像从一个国家传播到另一个国家的关键媒介之一。尽管需要解决现代社会的这些关键方面，但对流行文化跨国维度的历史的研究最近才开始出现。然而，之前的尝试始终面临着处理海量数据的问题。拟议的项目旨在解决如何通过使用专用数字工具对该产品进行调查的问题。得益于流行文学和媒体文化协会 (LPCM) 创建的数据库以及与欧洲图书馆的合作，来自贝尔法斯特大学、利摩日大学和德布勒森大学的三个研究小组将能够收集 48 个欧洲国家图书馆的目录，并借助地图和图表分析流行小说的跨国维度。目前的提案建立在一个已建立的网络开展的 5 年协作工作的基础上欧洲大学。 2008年，一个国际跨学科学者小组获得了欧盟委员会文化计划的资助，开展了一项名为“EPOP：通过电影、漫画和连续文学探索欧洲文化的流行根源（1850-1930）”的开创性倡议。 2011 年，该小组诞生了 LPCM，目前涉及来自欧洲及其他地区 15 个国家的研究人员。 2012-2013 年，为了通过创新的研究和网络工具支持 LPCM 的举措，利摩日大学的 IT 服务部门开发了该项目的核心数据库。计划活动的一个主要目标是验证使用该数据库与国家图书馆和专业图书馆等非学术机构建立合作的可能性。除了与欧洲图书馆的重要关系外，该项目还涉及与犯罪文学图书馆（Bilipo）的密切合作，这是一家专门关注犯罪主题出版物的巴黎公共图书馆。参与该项目的研究人员将与图书馆工作人员合作，协助他们使用数据库作为工具，更好地组织和研究自己的馆藏，并通过虚拟展览推广其内容。犯罪小说被选为案例研究，以测试数据库的潜力，并开发额外的搜索、组织和可视化工具，以回答参与者的研究问题。通过收集欧洲图书馆的资料库，三个由该文学流派专家培训的研究小组将研究二十世纪许多欧洲国家如何保存和编目犯罪小说。研究将集中于比较本次调查中出现的不同（跨国）国家语料库，并讨论如何使用地理和统计方法来分析和可视化收集的数据。对该流派历史的既定描述将受到定量视角的挑战，其目的特别是强调跨国研究的缺乏。其他成果包括：两次研讨会和一次传播研究成果的会议；同行评审期刊 Belphégor 的特刊，其中将包括精选的会议论文；两个虚拟展览；一系列公共活动，有几位欧洲犯罪小说作家参与；向 AHRC 或 ERC 提交拨款申请，以扩大技术工具的实施，并使从事所有文学研究领域其他语料库的研究人员能够使用这些工具。
