The proposed research project is dedicated to a multimedia avant-garde magazine series edited by Kurt Schwitters between 1923 and 1932 and named after his own comprehensive art concept Merz. The essential principles of Merz are the transgression of medial and structural boundaries and the use of foreign materials of all sorts for the purpose of artistic processing. The Merz series forms a focal point of the artist`s interests and practices on both a structural and content level. An accurate scientific analysis of the series can therefore provide crucial insights into the development and the artistic strategies of the oeuvre on the one hand and into the positioning of Merz within the international avant-garde on the other hand. For the first time ever, the project Kurt Schwitters`s Intermedia Networks of the Avant-garde - The Merz Series (1923-1932) and Merz Printed Papers seeks to fully research this unique document of the interwar period in all its structural and design-related characteristics from an interdisciplinary point of view and to present it in a comprehensive and scientifically grounded way as both a digital edition and a print edition. Additionally, the manifold relations to Schwitters`s advertising printed matter are meant to broaden the perspective in terms of the practical application of his typographical concepts and also to visualise his transgressive approach with respect to the boundaries between art and applied art. Because of the series` occasionally structure-breaking diversity in both form and topics, the Merz magazines have so far neither been studied in view of their journalistic management nor have their transgressive contents been explored with full consideration of the state of source material and contextualised within the framework of the entire series. The proposed project seeks to enable a new approach to the Merz series: Taking into account previously unexplored materials, the Merz magazines will be examined in the context of Schwitters`s comprehensive artistic principles of content and design and presented as an integral part of his total art concept. The formal and design-related characteristics of the material require a highly visualised form of editorial representation plus the linking-up of various media. The challenges presented on an editorial level additionally demand an innovative concept with regard to the digital infrastructure, thus enabling decisive advancements in the field of Digital Humanities. This is why the Trier Center for Digital Humanities is intimately involved in the project. Only by means of interdisciplinary collaboration is it possible to develop valid terms and structures of presentation suited to capture the complexity of the issue. Thus, the project will not only make an interdisciplinary contribution to Schwitters research, but also contribute to the expansion of the instruments of literary analysis and of the technical facilities in electronic publishing.

拟议的研究项目专门针对由Kurt Schwitters在1923年至1932年之间编辑的多媒体前卫杂志系列，并以他自己的全面艺术概念Merz命名。梅尔斯的基本原则是内侧和结构边界的侵蚀以及为艺术处理而使用各种外来材料的使用。 Merz系列在结构和内容层面上构成了艺术家的利益和实践的焦点。因此，对该系列的准确科学分析可以提供对作品的发展和艺术策略的关键见解，一方面是梅尔兹在国际前卫中的定位。有史以来，库尔特·施维特斯（Kurt Schwitters）的前卫中媒介（Merz）系列（1923-1932）和梅尔兹（Merz）印刷论文第一次，旨在在其结构和设计相关的各个特征中以综合性和科学的方式呈现一个独特的特征，在整体和设计的特征中都在综合界面上，在综合的特征中均以综合作品的形式进行了一份专辑，以呈现的是一件事，以此作为一段独立的作品，在其所有结构和设计相关的特征中，都旨在充分研究这个独特的文档。此外，与Schwitters的广告印刷物质的多种关系旨在扩大其印刷概念的实际应用观点，并且还可以将他在艺术与应用艺术之间的边界方面可视化他的传教方法。由于该系列在形式和主题上都有偶尔的结构破坏性多样性，因此，鉴于其新闻管理，迄今为止，迄今既没有研究他们的侵犯内容，也没有在整个系列的框架内完全考虑到源材料的状态和背景信息。拟议的项目旨在为Merz系列提供一种新的方法：考虑到以前未开发的材料，Merz杂志将在Schwitters的内容和设计的全面艺术原理的背景下进行检查，并作为其总艺术概念不可或缺的一部分。材料的正式和与设计相关的特征需要高度可视化的编辑表示形式，以及各种媒体的联系。社论层面上提出的挑战还需要关于数字基础架构的创新概念，从而在数字人文科学领域实现了决定性的进步。这就是为什么数字人文科学中心密切参与该项目的原因。只有通过跨学科的合作，才有可能开发适合捕获问题复杂性的有效术语和结构。因此，该项目不仅将对Schwitters研究做出跨学科的贡献，而且还将有助于扩大文学分析工具和电子出版技术设施。
