Market Strategies and German Literature in the Long Nineteenth Century
Building upon recent German Studies research addressing the industrialization of printing, the expansion of publication venues, new publication formats, and readership, Market Strategies maps a networked literary field in which the production, promotion, and reception of literature from the Enlightenment to World War II emerges as a collaborative enterprise driven by the interests of actors and institutions. These essays demonstrate how a network of authors, editors, and publishers devised mutually beneficial and, at times, conflicting strategies for achieving success on the rapidly evolving nineteenth-century German literary market. In particular, the contributors consider how these actors shaped a nineteenth-century literary market, which included the Jewish press, highbrow and lowbrow genres, and modernist publications. They explore the tensions felt as markets expanded and restrictions were imposed, which yielded resilient new publication strategies, fostered criticism, and led to formal innovations. The volume thus serves as major contribution to interdisciplinary research in nineteenth-century German literary, media, and cultural studies.
Taking Stock
The volume examines the proliferation of inventorying models and practices as cultural techniques of knowledge organization and production during the long nineteenth century. While inventories are still broadly treated as raw data and unprocessed source materials, the book shows how they function as complex media formats, intersecting and interfering with other material techniques to produce, store, distribute, organize and process cultural information. How do inventories work against and in dialogue with other media of collection, storage and retrieval such as catalogs, indexes, bibliographies, and archives; what new media configurations do techniques of inventorying enable and how, in turn, are such techniques shaped by the media channels and formats they employ; what is at stake in the critical effort of "taking stock", whether as commercial, bureaucratic, literary, historiographical, or scientific operations; finally, what do such operations tell us specifically about the production and circulation of knowledge in the German nineteenth century?
Allegories of Format
Allegories of Format examines the significance of format to the literary oeuvre of the nineteenth-century Swiss author, Gottfried Keller (1819–1890), best known for his 1855 novel, Green Henry (Der grüne Heinrich). Malika Maskarinec understands format as the organization of a media object's relationship to a world of objects and persons; format orders a text's contents or, in the case of literature, what it represents. Maskarinec focuses on three formats of growing prominence in nineteenth-century media culture: the collected-works edition, the document, and the periodical. The analysis demonstrates that different fictional worlds, characters, and plots in Keller's literary output allegor...

Die Unterscheidung zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit in Daniel Kehlmanns Werk am Beispiel von "Beerholms Vorstellung", "Bankraub" und "Mahlers Zeit"
Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Didaktik für das Fach Deutsch - Literatur, Werke, Note: 1,3, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (05), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Mittelpunkt dieser Arbeit stehen die frühen Veröffentlichungen Kehlmanns, Beerholms Vorstellung (1997), Bankraub (1998) und Mahlers Zeit (1999). Die Beschränkung auf Kehlmanns Frühwerk ist dessen Thematik geschuldet – auch wenn sich das Traummotiv durch all seine Werke zieht, spielt es besonders in den Jahren vor der Jahrtausendwende eine vorherrschende Rolle. Gemeinsam ist den hier vorgestellten Werken, dass sie keine eindeutige Auslegung zulassen. Kehlmanns Umgang mit der Traum-Wirklichkeits-Thematik entspricht insofern einer postmodernen Ästhetik, als dass er keinen Anspruch auf „so etwas wie [eine] verbindliche Wahrheit oder einen Zugriff auf authentische Realität [...]“ erhebt.
Ruhm und Moderne
Die Studie beantwortet die Frage, wie und warum die aus der Antike stammende Idee des Dichter- beziehungsweise Heldenruhms in der - vornehmlich deutschsprachigen - Literatur und in den - vornehmlich deutschsprachigen - Geisteswissenschaften der Moderne aufgegriffen und thematisiert wird. Dabei wird ein weiter Modernebegriff zugrunde gelegt: Die Moderne stellt einen Prozess dar, der durch unterschiedliche 'Zundstufen' von der Mitte des 18. bis zum ersten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts vorangetrieben wird. Innerhalb jeder dieser 'Zundstufen' der Moderne bildet die Idee des Ruhms ein zentrales Thema. Die Arbeit verfolgt den Transfer der Ruhmidee aus der Lyrik des 18. uber die Erzahlliteratur, die...
