Fiction and Genre Contributions to a literary history of referentializing reading after the establishment of the modern practice of fiction

该研究项目的目的是论证在18世纪最后三分之一的现代小说实践建立后，体裁特定的参照阅读技巧的存在，并对它们进行各自的具体描述，并解释它们在历史语境中的作用。为此，该项目对不同时期的接收文件进行了示范分析。该项目专注于虚构的、与现实构成相关的体裁，如自传小说、历史小说、“倾向小说”(胚芽)。Tendenzroman)，以及罗马风格以及三个核心研究时期，这些流派变得非常流行。因此，文学史上已有的研究方法被一个明确的接受导向视角所补充，该视角首先关注特定的体裁，而不是“个别作品”这一范畴，其次承认这些作品的虚构性维度是核心，第三，这有助于现代小说实践的区分。为了展示特定体裁的阅读实践及其在体裁分配和意义分配之间的规律性及其特定的规范，用行为学的方法定量和定性地分析了文学批评家对选定的体裁代表的接受。此外，该项目确定了特定体裁的阅读实践与现代小说实践之间的关系；它制定了参考阅读实践的类型学；并解释了上述体裁在知识系统特定领域重新划分的背景下的时尚性。总体目标是通过对德国文学史重大事件的示范分析，在现代小说实践中对参考阅读的文学史做出根本性的贡献。

The aim of the research project is to demonstrate the existence of genrespecific referentialising reading techniques after the establishment of modern fiction practice in the last third of the 18th century, to describe them in their respective specifics, and to explain their function in the historical context. To this end the project conducts exemplary analyzes of reception documents from different periods. The project focuses on the fictional, constitutively reality-related genres of autofiction, historical novel, "tendentious novel" (germ. Tendenzroman), and roman-à-clef as well as three core study periods in which these genres became very fashionable. Thus, established approaches in literary history are supplemented by a decidedly reception-oriented perspective, which first focuses on specific genres instead of the category "individual work", which secondly recognizes the fictionality dimension of these works as central and which contributes thirdly to the thesis of the differentiation of the modern practice of fiction.In order to demonstrate genre-specific reading practices with their regularities between genre assignment and assignment of meanings as well as their specific norms, the literary critics' reception of selected genre representatives is analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively using a praxeological method. Furthermore, the project determines the relationship between genre-specific reading practices and modern fictionality practices; it develops a typology of referentializing reading practices; and it explains the fashionability of the abovementioned genres against the backdrop of area-specific repartitions of the knowledge system. The overall objective is to make a fundamental contribution to the literary history of referentializing reading within the modern practice of fiction through exemplary analyzes of significant episodes of German literary history.
