Techniken und Technologien der Lektüre
Mit der Entstehung der Digital Humanities haben sich vielfältige neue Zugänge zu literarischen Texten herausgebildet. Diese legen Fragen nach möglichen Transformationen von Gegenstand, Methode und Selbstverständnis der Literaturwissenschaft nahe, die auf dem Podium diskutiert werden sollen: Welchem Gegenstand widmet sich literaturwissenschaftliches Forschen heute? Geht es um Texte oder Medien, um alphanumerische Zeichenmengen oder Kunstwerke, um Big Data oder unikale dreidimensionale Buchobjekte? Welche methodischen Parallelen, Interferenzen und Differenzen bestehen zwischen den verschiedenen Ansätzen der Digital Literary Studies?
Welches Selbstverständnis ergibt sich für das Fach in Absetzung zu oder Angleichung an andere historisch orientierte Geisteswissenschaften? Welche Formen von Chaos und Ordnung, von Kanon vs. The Big Unread, von Unordnung oder Aufräumarbeit leisten oder generieren die neuen Ansätze der Digital Literary Studies und welche grundlegenden und zukunftsbestimmenden Umbauten und Neuausrichtungen des Fachs zeichnen sich heute bereits ab?
Moderation: Irmela Krüger-Fürhoff und Bernhard Metz
With the rise of the digital humanities, a variety of new approaches to literary texts has emerged. These suggest new questions concerning the possible transformations of the objects, methods, and self-understanding of literary studies – questions to be discussed on our panel:
What is the object of literary studies today? Are we dealing with texts or media, with alphanumeric character sets or with works of art, with big data or unique three-dimensional books? Which methodological parallels, interferences, and differences can be found between these different approaches? How does our field position itself within the larger context of other historically orientated humanities? Which forms of chaos and order, of canon vs. The Big Unread, do the new approaches provide and generate? And which fundamental and imminent restructurings and reorientations of the disciplines can already be discerned today?

Part of the Conference
téchne: Techniken und Technologien des Literarischen
Vor diesem Hintergrund nimmt die Jahrestagung Formen literarischer (Selbst-)Reflexion im Zeichen technologischer Entwicklungen sowie Konstellationen der Partizipation am technischen Diskurs in den Blick.
This year’s conference of the Friedrich Schlegel Graduate School of Literary Studies discusses different dimensions of the technical and technological in literature. Literature and technology have always been productively engaged with one another: on the one hand, literature was seen as a technical artefact driven by purpose and effect, on the other hand, it was viewed as a vivid manifestation of nature, and categorically distinguished from industrial technology and inanimate mechanics. With the radically changing, early modern understanding of technique and technology as the totality of everything mechanically and instrumentally possible, new literary sujets, forms, and practices emerged that would ultimately even include the mechanical and mathematical manipulations of texts, a conception that was dramatically expanded and radicalized in the 20th century.
Against this background, the annual conference will investigate different forms of literary self-reflexivity marked by technological innovations as well as various constellations through which literature has participated in technical discourses.
