受第一阶段项目成果的鼓舞，在未来三年内，“期刊文学”研究单位将继续对定期出版形式进行调查，作为文学媒体史的试验田。潜在的物质-语言学方法不仅构成了一种方法论，而且是一种把握研究单位对象的综合理论方法。定期出版的形式，其广泛的范围是在“期刊”的一般概念下组装的，产生以特定方式存在的文本形式，并产生特定的使用模式。到目前为止，在该项目中进行的研究表明，进一步区分“书籍”和“报纸”的两极，并在其复杂的自我定位和归属中考虑每个案例是多么重要。正是在这种背景下，研究股将其调查期限延长到“漫长的19世纪”以外。通过拓宽视野，我们希望能够把握期刊作为一种媒介是如何不断构成的。最初，它是一种参考媒介；然后，从19世纪末开始，人们越来越多地看到它与相互竞争的大众媒体（电影、广播和电视）的关系。考察期的历史延伸也旨在通过丰富期刊类型材料及其所反映的媒介星座，获得系统性的利益。最重要的媒介差异问题是新闻媒介如何在与其他媒介的对比和模仿关系中形成。在第一阶段所采用的期刊文献研究的基本关键区别将被进一步探讨。我们将继续研究这些区别，但我们将补充第二个三个区别，这允许媒体格式和接受的历史文化有更大的区别。除了“期刊-媒介/媒体星座”的基本区别之外，期刊-文学接受的时间和空间坐标将被更仔细地研究。“市场/转移”的区分针对的是期刊文化的空间性。一方面，期刊出现在一个与其他地方不同但又与其他地方交流的地方。另一方面，杂志本身被理解为一个市场，在这个市场中，来自各种媒体的杂项内容争夺关注。用“短暂性”与“永久性”的区别来分析期刊文化的时间性。这本日记可以通过它与转瞬即逝的时间的联系来引人注目地定义；但它也提出了重复的问题，在选集或书籍中重复使用的问题，以及存档的问题，并且必须与20世纪的广播媒体相抗衡。

Encouraged by the results of the first project phase, during the next three years, the Research Unit »Journal Literature« would like to continue their investigation into periodic forms of publication as a test field for a literary-media history. The underlying material-philological approach does not merely constitute a methodology but is, moreover, a comprehensive theoretical way of grasping the object of the Research Unit. Periodic forms of publication, whose broad spectrum is assembled under the general concept of ›journal‹, produce textual forms which are extant in specific ways and give rise to specific modes of use. The research carried out so far in the project has shown how vital it is to further differentiate between the poles of ›book‹ and ›newspaper‹ and to consider each individual case in its complex self-positionings and ascriptions. It is against this background that the Research Unit is extending its investigation period beyond the ›long 19th century‹. By broadening the perspective, we hope to be able to grasp how ›the journal‹ is continuously constituted as a medium. Initially, it is a medium of reference; and then, from the end of the 19th century onwards, it is to be seen increasingly in relation to competing mass media (film, radio, and television). The historical extension of the period of investigation also aims at obtaining systematic benefits, by diversifying the journal-type material, as well as the media constellations that are reflected in it. The overriding media-differential question is how journal-mediality gets constituted in contrastive but also in imitative relation to other media. Basic key distinctions in the study of journal-literature employed in the first phase will be pursued further. We will continue working with these distinctions, but we will supplement them with a second triad of distinctions which allow for a greater differentiation of media formats and of historical cultures of reception. In addition to the fundamental distinction of ›journal-mediality/media constellations‹, the temporal and the spatial coordinates of journal-literary reception will be more closely examined. The ›market/transfer‹ distinction targets the spatiality of journal culture. On the one hand journals appear at a place that is distinguished from but stands in an exchange with other places. On the other hand, the journal itself is understood as a marketplace in which miscellaneous coming from various media competes for attention. The temporality of journal culture is analysed using the distinction ›ephemerality/permanence‹. The journal can be strikingly defined via its tie to the fleeting passage of time; but it also raises the question of repetition, of re-use in anthologies or books, and of archiving, and has to be positioned against broadcast media of the 20th century.
