FOR 1091: Popular Seriality: Aesthetics and Practice

研究单位汇集了来自美国研究、德国文献学、文化人类学/欧洲民族学、经验文化研究和媒体研究等领域的15名研究人员。从2010年到2013年，六个子项目将研究一种叙事形式，这种叙事形式已经成为流行美学的一个定义特征：系列。研究小组探讨了自19世纪以来连载小说的广泛分布和广泛吸引力，并提出了哪些新的叙事形式通过连载出现。进一步的问题是：连续剧如何影响我们感知和构建社会现实的方式？当连载角色经历一次或多次媒体转换时，他们是如何修改的？我们如何解释在长播出的电视剧中，生产者和接受者之间的界限逐渐缩小？文化差异领域的哪些转变是由复杂的系列叙事产生的，这些叙事越来越多地嵌入到高雅的生活方式和册封实践中？除了设在Göttingen大学的基地外，研究股在汉诺威大学、<s:1>宾根大学和卡尔斯鲁厄大学也有分项目，并在波恩大学和伯尔尼大学（瑞士）也有相关项目。国际研究员由Lichtenberg-Kolleg主办，网址为Göttingen。

The Research Unit brings together 15 researchers from the fields of American Studies, German Philology, Cultural Anthropology/European Ethnology, Empirical Cultural Studies and Media Studies. From 2010 to 2013, six sub-projects will investigate a narrative format that has become a defining feature of popular aesthetics: the series. The Research Unit addresses questions concerning the wide distribution and broad appeal of series since the 19th century and asks, which new narrative formats have emerged through serialisation. Further questions are: How do series influence the way we perceive and structure social reality? How are serial characters revised when they undergo one or more media shifts? How can we explain the progressively shrinking boundaries between producers and recipients in long running series? Which transformations in the field of cultural distinctions are produced by complex serial narratives, which are increasingly embedded in highbrow lifestyles and canonisation practices? In addition to its base at the University of Göttingen, the Research Unit has sub-projects at the universities of Hannover, Tübingen and Karlsruhe, as well as associated projects at the universities of Bonn and Bern (Switzerland). International fellows are hosted by the Lichtenberg-Kolleg in Göttingen.
