Cultural Magazines from "Modernismo" to Avant-Garde: Processes of Modernization and Transnational networks

该研究项目将研究西班牙和拉丁美洲现代西班牙语文化杂志的大量语料库。在这样做的过程中，有两个子项目，一个侧重于现代主义(1890-1914)，另一个侧重于前卫，目的是在所谓的后现代主义(大约1910-1920年)的过渡阶段跨越各个领域。这两个分项目密切相关，旨在服务于以下目标：1.通过不断比较不同文化间的联系来研究现代文学的发展过程及其跨国层面，从而强调文化杂志作为现代化动力的重要媒介的地位。在该项目中，将审查西班牙语文献中这些动态的连续性和破裂性，这必然只能在目前流行的以时代为中心的现代主义和前卫研究中部分考虑。以“世界性”现代主义和“国际”先锋性为特征的高度跨国网络，在这一阶段主要作为国家文献学的一部分研究杂志之后，最终将成为研究的对象。2.在进行这一新的研究领域时，将使用已经确立的研究方法和文化转移理论来研究国界之外的现代文学，以扩大其对文化杂志媒介的影响。特别是以形式为导向的方法，如伊塔马尔·佐哈斯多元系统理论或佛朗哥·莫雷蒂斯的远距离阅读概念，将被用来进一步发展它们，以满足研究杂志的特殊需要，因为杂志处于图书和更不稳定的出版形式(如报纸)之间的中间位置，使其成为一个特别复杂的研究对象。3.文化杂志将被视为由各种形式的文本组成的网络，这些形式不仅将单个行为者联系起来，而且还将各种类型的文本联系起来。为了将杂志的这一方面作为网络进行研究，将使用需要仔细阅读杂志精选部分的定性分析参数，以及基于评论的(元)数据输入及其可视化的定量方法。

The research project will study a vast corpus of cultural magazines of the Spanish-speaking modern age in Spain and Latin-America. In doing so two sub-projects, one with an emphasis on Modernismo (1890 - 1914) and the other with an emphasis on the avant-garde, are intended, crossing fields during the transitional phase of the so-called Posmodernismo (about 1910 - 1920). Both sub-projects are closely connected and are designed to serve the following objectives: 1. Processes of the development of modern literature and its transnational dimension are studied by consistently comparing inter-cultural connections, thus underlining the status of the cultural magazine as a crucial medium of the dynamics of modernization. Within the project continuities and ruptures within these dynamics in Spanish-speaking literatures will be examined, which necessarily could only be partially considered in the prevailing epoch-centered studies on Modernismo and avant-garde so far. The high level of transnational networking, which is characteristic for the "cosmopolitan" Modernismo as well as the "international" avant-garde, is supposed to finally become the object of research, after this phase of studying magazines mostly as part of the national philologies. 2. In conducting this new field of research methods already established and theories on cultural transfer will be used to study modern literature outside the confines of national boundaries, in order to expand their reach to the medium of the cultural magazine. Especially form-oriented approaches such as Itamar Zohars Polysystem Theory or Franco Morettis concept of Distant Reading will be employed to further develop them to meet the specific needs of researching magazines, whose intermediate position between the book and more volatile forms of publication (e.g. newspapers) make it a particularly complex object of research. 3. Cultural magazines will be seen as networks consisting of forms of texts, which do not only connect single actors, but genres and types of texts as well. To research this aspect of magazines as networks, qualitative analytic parameters that require a close reading of carefully selected parts of the magazines will be used, as well as quantitative methods which are based on the entry of (meta-) data of reviews and their visualization.
