Zukünfte der Philologien im Medienwandel

Overview & Synopsis

“Zukünfte der Philologien im Medienwandel” explores the intersections between the genesis of works, literary estates, archives and the public sphere. These intersections are conceived as spaces for thought and fields of influence. This volume addresses four thematic areas: “Archival intersections in the context of their institutional transformation.” The focus of this cluster lies on the transitions between archives, publishers, philological editing projects and libraries, as well as on the potential uses for society and research. “Transcriptions between analogue and digital sign systems.” This concerns the role played by processes of transcription in creative textual genesis (Grésillon) and in philological (editions), archival (inventories), curatorial (exhibitions) and performative (theatre) contexts. The underdefined status of estates in the public sphere. Unpublished material initially resides in an in-between zone, where the potential for future research and publications has yet to be critically assessed. This raises the question of whether and to what extent ‘cataloguing’ also implies ‘opening up’. “Configurations of institutional and media aspects.” In the long term, the interactions between the practices of archives, editions and exhibitions are to be discussed as a configuration of interfaces that establish virtual arrangements (Benjamin), spaces of knowledge (Foucault) and fields of force (Adorno).
