Working Together. Practices of Literary Collaboration

该网络旨在观察从19世纪初到现在的更大的历史时期内文学合作的实践和它们被论述的方式。该网络的重点将是文学行业的边缘人物和中间人的活动。它将考察删除或评价的做法、作者和读者之间的互动、校对过程或文本的合作制作(例如，在剧院或在阅读时)随着时间的推移而发生了怎样的变化。该网络询问哪些行为者和职业从事这种做法，以及在什么历史关头增加了新的角色或活动领域。它将国际上从事不同文学合作实践或研究不同历史时期类似合作实践的学者--主要是初级学者--联系起来。通过他们的交流，应该更好地探索合作实践的历史转变及其互动。

The network aims to observe the practices of literary collaboration and the ways in which they are discursivized over a larger historical period from the early 19th century to the present. The network’s focus will be on the activities of marginal and intermediary figures in the literature business. It will examine how practices of deletion or evaluation, interactions between authors and readers, processes of proofreading, or the collaborative production of texts (e.g., in the theater or at readings) have changed over time. The network asks which actors and professions engage in such practices, and at what historical junctures new roles or fields of activity were added. It connects scholars – predominantly junior scholars – internationally who have worked on different practices of literary collaboration or have studied similar collaborative practices in different historical periods. Through their exchange, both the historical transformation of collaborative practices and their interaction should be better explored.
