Serial Narration in Popular German-Language Periodicals from 1850 to 1890

最近的文学学术分析了流行的期刊，特别关注社会理论和系统理论。然而，在很大程度上被忽视的问题是，德国期刊和杂志如何在19世纪后半叶创造了连续性，以及哪些描述模式和维持读者群的策略被用于连续性效果。这个关于流行连载的早期历史的项目试图通过对19世纪典型报纸以及文学和文化杂志的系统分析来缩小这一研究差距。它旨在通过追求两个协调一致的目标来做到这一点：首先，它将从非虚构文本和虚构文本之间的相互依存关系的角度来研究在《科隆报》上发表的feuilleton小说的连载形式。在这样做的时候，它也将考虑政治，文化和媒体历史的影响，串行化的叙述。第二，与第一个目标密切相关，该项目将研究代表性杂志格式（Die Gartenlaube，Deutsche Rundschau，Deutsche Romanbibliothek zu Ueber Land und梅尔）中的系列叙事形式。杂志的整体构成（设计、布局、内容组织、插图、广告）在此背景下表现突出，因此将作为期刊发行和接收方面的系列节目进行分析。我们假设，20世纪发展起来的系列化叙事的成功模式起源于19世纪的期刊。因此，该项目通过解决叙事区别的系列技术的历史出现，扩展了研究单元第一个资助期的中心目标。具体而言，它建立在子项目2（ARD警察程序Tatort的连续性）和子项目5（连续出价的动态）提供的见解。此外，我们问如何收集流行的19世纪的期刊，在私人档案馆和公共图书馆看到，不断演变的做法，影响了早期的形式和技术的连载。为了解决系列出版物的不同接受经验等问题，本项目继续进行分项目6（“收集：流行文化与经典之间的低俗小说”）的研究。此外，该项目还从历史的角度探讨了21世纪系列作品的爱好者和制作者之间的互动（如关于低俗小说和电视系列作品的融合和社会定位的分项目7所探讨的）。在连载作品的发展过程中，当代连载小说的粉丝和19世纪连载杂志的读者都是有影响力的代理人。在方法上，该项目结合了一个大型文本语料库的系统汇编和分析，并从文化和媒体历史的角度对期刊创建的系列区分的形式和技术进行了文本分析。

Recent literary scholarship has analyzed popular periodicals with a particular focus on social theory and systems theory. What has largely been neglected, however, are questions of how German periodicals and magazines created seriality in the latter half of the nineteenth century and which modes of depiction and strategies for sustaining readerships were used for serialized effects. This project on the early history of popular seriality seeks to close this research gap through systematic analyses of exemplary nineteenth-century newspapers as well as literary and cultural magazines. It aims to do so by pursuing two concerted objectives: First, it will investigate serialized forms of feuilleton novels published in the Kölnische Zeitung in terms of interdependencies between non-fictional and fictional texts. In doing so, it will also consider the political, cultural, and media-historical implications of serialized narration. Second, and closely connected with the first objective, the project will study serial forms of narration in representative magazine formats (Die Gartenlaube, Deutsche Rundschau, Deutsche Romanbibliothek zu Ueber Land und Meer). The magazines' overall composition (design, layout, organization of content, illustrations, advertisements) figures strongly in this context and will accordingly be analyzed as a serial program with regard to periodical distribution and reception. We hypothesize that the successful models of serialized narration that evolved during the twentieth century have their origins in the periodicals of the nineteenth century. Thus, the project extends central objectives of the Research Unit's first funding period by addressing the historical emergence of serial techniques of narrative distinction. Specifically, it builds upon the insights provided by subproject 2 (seriality in the ARD police procedural Tatort) and subproject 5 (on the dynamics of serial outbidding). In addition, we ask how the evolving practice of collecting popular nineteenth-century periodicals, as seen in private archives and public libraries, influenced early forms and techniques of seriality. In addressing such issues concerning the variable reception experiences of serialized publications, this project continues research conducted in subproject 6 ("Collecting: Pulp Novels between Popular Culture and Canon"). Moreover, the project provides a historical perspective on the interaction between fans and producers of serial creation in the twentyfirst century (as explored in subproject 7 on the quotidian integration and social positioning of pulp novels and television series). In the evolution of serial production, both the fans of contemporary serial narratives and the readers of serialized magazines in the nineteenth century figure as influential agents. Methodologically, the project combines a systematic compilation and analysis of a large textual corpus with a textual approach vested in a cultural and media-historical perspective on the forms and techniques of serial distinction created by periodicals.
