Zeitschriften als Medienformatierung

In recent years, journals have increasingly become a research topic in their own right. Trying to avoid the rigid functional definitions of journals (periodicity, publicity, etc.), it is a major challenge at the moment for literary studies to come up with a new and more appropriate way of thinking about the subject. This paper contributes to this endeavour by proposing to think about journals not as fixed items but as relational objects that not only have an impact on the texts but are affected by them as well. Thus, it suggests not to talk about journals and texts individually but to recognize the specific media formatting that they form together
