1. Graphs, Maps, Trees: Abstract Models for Literary History

   In this groundbreaking book, Franco Moretti argues that literature scholars should stop reading books and start counting, graphing, and mapping them instead. In place of the traditionally selective literary canon of a few hundred texts, Moretti offers charts, maps and time lines, developing the idea of “distant reading” into a full-blown experiment in literary historiography, in which the canon disappears into the larger literary system. Charting entire genres—the epistolary, the gothic, and the historical novel—as well as the literary output of countries such as Japan, Italy, Spain, and Nigeria, he shows how literary history looks significantly different from what is commonly supposed and how the concept of aesthetic form can be radically redefined.

2. Hyperfiktion und interaktive Narration

   Mit Hyperfiktion hat sich ein Phänomen herausgebildet, das sich die Verbindung von Literatur und Computertechnik schöpferisch zu Nutzen macht und experimentell nach neuen Formen sucht. Die entstehenden Hybridformen sind in erster Linie beliebig manipulierbare binäre Daten, die in mehrfacher Hinsicht von transitorischer Flüchtigkeit geprägt sind. Die Bewegung der Hyperfiktion und Netzliteratur steht noch am Anfang: in einer experimentellen Frühphase. So ist die Spurenaufnahme und Analyse ihrer Entwicklung immer auch ein Balanceakt zwischen Archäologie und Futurologie. Diese Arbeit versucht innerhalb dieser beiden Pole Grundlagenarbeit zu leisten für eine neue experimentelle Form von Literatur.

4. Genre

   Genre is a key means by which we categorize the many forms of literature and culture, but it is also much more than that: in talk and writing, in music and images, in film and television, genres actively generate and shape our knowledge of the world. Understanding genre as a dynamic process rather than a set of stable rules, this book explores:

   • the relation of simple to complex genres
   • the history of literary genre in theory
   • the generic organisation of implied meanings
   • the structuring of interpretation by genre
   • the uses of genre in teaching.
