Preliminary Remarks On How Translations Are A Rare Resource In The Universal Chatter. And Why Translation Matters. |
While globalisation made the world a small and highly integrated place, the number of books translated decreased, and oddly enough, even translations from the dominating lingua franca, English, got fewer.

"Erfolgreiche Bücher" umschreibt als Kurzformel einen Forschungsrahmen, der das Ziel hat, das Zusammenspiel aus kulturellen und wirtschaftlichen Faktoren für Bücher beispielhaft zu untersuchen und einzuschätzen. Mit "Erfolg" ist dabei bewusst ein Parameter gewählt, der nach mehreren Seiten - qualitativ wie quantitativ - offen ist. "Erfolgreiche Bücher" ist ein ,offenes' Forschungsvorhaben, das in mehreren Etappen und von unterschiedlichen Personen und Personengruppen betrieben werden soll. Ausgangspunkt ist die Lehrveranstaltung "Literatur und Medien " (LuM) am Institut für Germanistik der Universität Wien. Ergebnisse und Analysen zu "Erfolgreiche Bücher" hier. |
