Circulation
Abstract

The image of “circulation” already enables and even demands its conceptualisation as a particular form of how literary works move through time and space. It differs, we would like to argue, from other modes of medial movements such as “exchange”, “distribution”, “dissemination”, or “transmission”. The insights considered here discuss models of closed and open circulation, their infrastructures, and their impact on literary movement. What do we mean, then, when we speak of a “circulation of literature”, or of “literary circulation”?

Community
Critical Modelling
Abstract

Given that the process of “building digital communities”, as the central concern of Research Area 5, requires conscious engagement with data models and the transformation of information into “data” (cf. data as “capta”) and that the EXC2020: Temporal Communities core concept of “temporal communities” itself implies rigorous modelling operations, this curated collection examines the role of modelling in humanities research, particularly in literary studies and digital humanities. The contributions critically reflect on the affordances of models, their functions, implications, and limitations in capturing information, heuristics, analysis, criticism, and presentation. In doing so, they revisit the conceptual framework for modelling as a critical practice and explore the workings of models beyond representational claims.

Framing Narratives
Abstract

Narratological models of narrative framing and embedding have mostly been established through the study of novelistic print literature from the Modern West. Challenging the narratological focus on novelistic print literature and an exclusive focus on Western literary traditions, ‘Framing Narratives’ aims to discuss and establish alternative, comprehensive concepts of narrative framing from various cultural and historical perspectives. The primary questions that inspire our collaboration are how to articulate and how to define the narrative and textual boundaries of and within works.

Value
Abstract

This curated collection examines the evolving study of “value” in literature, noting its multidimensional nature and growing scholarly interest. It highlights the challenges of defining value and explores its diverse dimensions: entities, criteria, concepts, sites, and actors. The project invites further insights to deepen understanding across temporal contexts.
