Time-Writing: The 'Chronopoetics' of Journal Literature and the Genesis of Literariness

这个子项目将“时间”和“文本”之间的界面视为独特的媒体形式，后者是期刊和报纸的组成部分。正如德语术语Zeitschrift(期刊)和Zeitung(报纸)所表明的那样，两者本质上都是有时间限制的和与时间相关的媒体。从这个对期刊的制作、接收和发行至关重要的时间因素中得到启示，这个子项目关注的是那些时间在问题的制作过程中起着关键作用，甚至起到了主题性“指导线”作用的期刊。它将考察那些表现出与报纸日常结构接近的期刊，从而揭示“时间写作”(Zeit-Schrift)概念所固有的反身潜力--无论是通过揭露它是一个断裂点，还是通过确认它是一个特别敏感的交叉点。这项研究的指导性假设是，当不连续的经历使连续报道的既定做法受到质疑时，期刊格式固有的“时间”和“写作”之间可能存在的摩擦浮出水面。在此基础上，该分项目将把1813年至1815年拿破仑战争期间出版的德语期刊视为一种实验室形式，可以在事实上的新闻自由的过渡时期观察时间和写作之间的互动。将特别注意下列期刊：a)在这一时期创立，并明确提到它，从而显示出某些“违规行为”；b)就其格式而言，被设计为“新闻报纸”(Zeitblätter)，其中政治、历史和军事报道与文化和文学内容并列；以及c)反映其自身作为期刊的地位。对解放战争时期的‘报纸’格式进行代表性描述的任务与一个更基本的项目相联系，即利用极端案例来阐述对期刊-书籍在时间关系方面的差异的典型见解。因此，支持该研究小组整体项目的关键目标之一是分析期刊出版物的“时间起源”。除了认为这本杂志是《及时写的》之外，这个子项目还将挑战相反的观点，后者认为这本书是‘永恒的’，或者是一部超越时间的作品。从症状上看，这种观点似乎很自然，因为正是这些拿破仑时代的“报纸”与时事密切相关，将自己定位为与书籍形式相关的一个遥远的目标，尽管它还不是一个‘适合那个时代’的目标。因此，子项目解决的另一个关键问题是文学性的起源。根据我们的工作假设，这应该被理解为作品从期刊形式向书籍过渡的过程中文化接受的影响。

This sub-project considers the interface between 'time' and 'text,' which is constitutive of periodicals and newspapers as distinctive media formats. As is indicated by the German terms Zeitschrift (periodical) and Zeitung (newspaper), both are intrinsically time-bound and time-related media. Taking its cue from this temporal factor, which is fundamental to the production, reception, and distribution of journals, the sub-project focusses on those journals in which time plays a crucial role within the production process of an issue or even functions as a thematic 'guiding thread.' It will examine journals that exhibit a proximity to the day-to-day structure of newspapers and thus unfold the reflexive potential inherent in the concept of the 'time-writing' (Zeit-Schrift)-whether by exposing it as a point of rupture or affirming it as a particularly sensitive point of intersection. The guiding hypothesis of the research is that the possible friction between 'time' and 'writing' inherent to the journal format surfaces when the experience of discontinuity calls into question established practices of serial reporting. On this basis, the sub-project will consider German-language journals published during the Napoleonic Wars of 1813-1815 as a form of laboratory in which the interaction between time and writing can be observed during an interim period of de facto press freedom. Particular attention will be given to journals which: a) were founded within this period and which expressly refer to it, thus exhibiting certain 'irregularities'; b) were designed, as far as their format was concerned, as 'news-papers' (Zeitblätter), in which politico-historical and military reporting was juxtaposed with cultural and literary content; and c) reflected on their own status as journals. The task of giving a representative account of the 'news-paper' format at the time of the Wars of Liberation is linked to the more fundamental project of drawing on extreme cases in order to elaborate paradigmatic insights into the journal-book difference with respect to the relationship to time. One of the key aims in favour of the research group's overall project is thus to analyse the 'chronopoetics' of journal publications. Alongside this consideration of the journal as 'written in time,' the sub-project will also challenge the opposite perspective, which conceives the book as 'timeless,' or as a work that is lifted out of time.This perspective would seem natural insofar as, symptomatically, it was precisely these Napoleonic era 'news-papers' in their close relation to current events that positioned themselves in relation to the book form, regarding it as a distant goal, albeit one that was not yet 'appropriate for the time.'A further key question addressed by the sub-project is therefore genesis of literariness, which on our working hypothesis is to be understood as an effect of the cultural reception of works in the course of their transition from the journal format to the book.
