Between Law and Literature: The Criminal Case Study Collection 'Neuer Pitaval' in Literary Corpus Analysis

我们现在的科学学科文化体系出现于19世纪，这个世纪是收集和组织知识体系的时代，而这些知识体系往往介于这些学科之间。法律以刑事案件学习刑事诉讼证据的个体呈现，文学以现代大众学习现实主义叙事艺术。《新皮塔瓦尔》（Neue Pitaval，1842-1890年）是德语世界第一部具有全球可比性、同时也是最全面的刑事案件汇编，它对普遍法律的意识的形成起到了决定性作用。为了重建这一系列的就职话语，它必须在其所有的多样性进行分析，作为一个语料库的540个案例study.Our项目遵循的方法基于历史研究的问题，它适应了不同的数字语料库分析方法，以各自的认识目标。语义进展分析考察了哪些话题在何时流行，以及在不断变化的情况下，这些故事是如何从法律的政策的角度看待的。叙事学分析深入到在这一过程中发展起来的叙事模式的底部。为了区分法律的和文学的表现模式，数字方法与不同程度的上下文敏感性相结合。在句子和单词级别上进行的文体分析中，不同级别的抽象可以通过算法进行分析。另一方面，叙事分析需要对更大的文本部分进行协作注释，使自动化问题本身表现为解释学问题，这反过来又使人们对研究对象有了深入的了解。在法律与文学之间，法律的案例研究是19世纪世纪流行的一种知识媒介，资产阶级社会的规范取向和对法律的理解在其中得以显现。因此，这种文本类型的体裁诗学就显得尤为重要。因此，我们将采用比较分析来对比Pitaval与其他当代语料库，可以被描述为它在媒体系统中的直接竞争对手：家庭杂志Die Gartenlaube中的犯罪故事和Deutscher Novellenschatz的犯罪小说可能会娱乐相同的观众。集中在全球和当地的主题连接词的分类确定的信号强度的分类，我们也将能够检查方面的审美反应，包括在我们的分析文本的影响力的分析。

The 19th century, in which our current system of scientific disciplinary cultures emerged, was an epoch of collecting and organizing bodies of knowledge, which often lay between these disciplines. Criminal cases were used by law to learn the individual presentation of proofs for criminal proceedings, and by literature to learn the realistic art of narration for a modern mass audience. As the first globally comparative and also most comprehensive collection of criminal cases in the German-speaking world, the Neue Pitaval (1842-1890) played a decisive role in the emergence of a general legal consciousness. In order to reconstruct the inaugural discourse of this collection, it has to be analyzed in all its diversity as a corpus of 540 case studies.Our project follows an approach based on historical research questions, which adapts the different methods of digital corpus analysis to the respective epistemic goal. Semantic progress analyses examine which topics were in vogue and when, and how the stories were put into perspective in terms of legal policy under changing circumstances. Narratological analyses get to the bottom of the narrative patterns that are developed in this process. To distinguish between legal and literary modes of representation, digital methods are combined with varying degrees of context sensitivity. In stylometric analyses, which operate at the level of sentences and words, different levels of abstraction can be analyzed algorithmically. Narrative analyses, on the other hand, require collaborative annotations of larger sections of text, making questions of automatability themselves appear as hermeneutic problems, which in turn give insight into the research object. Between law and literature, the legal case study is a popular medium of knowledge in the 19th century, in which the normative orientations and the understanding of law of bourgeois society become observable. The genre poetics of this text type is therefore of particular importance. Thus, we will be employing comparative analyses to contrast the Pitaval with other contemporary corpora that can be described as its direct competitors in the media system: The crime stories in the family journal Die Gartenlaube and the crime novellas of the Deutscher Novellenschatz potentially entertained the same audience. Focusing on global and local thematic conjunctures in relation to the categorization of determined signal strengths in the classification, we will also be able to examine aspects of aesthetic response by including the analysis of affect strengths of the texts in our analyses.
