A historical-typological investigation of iterative narrative forms is planned - a hitherto hardly investigated complex of narratology. According to Gérard Genette, who has attempted to isolate, terminologically delimit and grasp the phenomenon, iterative narration occurs when what has happened many times is told only once. Thus, iterative narration is first and foremost a special form of depicting repetitive processes in time and, in this respect, narrative economy through repetition avoidance, which brings narration close to a distanced description. In 'classical narrative' iterative passages are new entries or have transitional character between dominant singulatively narrated, event-centered text elements. The planned monograph will focus on German-language literature in the period after 1850, in which iterative narrative structures, for a variety of reasons, take on a greater weight of their own. An important role is played by the increased attention to repetitive structures in social reality: everyday life, habits, rituals, compulsive actions, etc. are captured by the distanced gaze of the narrative instance in their persistence in relation to progressive, chronological time. In essence, the question is how to narrate lives that have settled into structures of repetition. To the extent that narrative representation shifts from action to behavioral observation, the boundary between narration and description also begins to blur. Nonetheless, iterative narrative often has a tendency to become 'pseudo-iterative' when detailed scenic narrative is marked as iterative. In order to capture iterative narration more precisely for the first time and to stimulate further research, two monographs are to be produced - the first is devoted to theoretical and typological issues related to iterativity, the second visits the historical development of this mostly inconspicuously functioning narrative procedure exemplarily in some genres. Here, narratives, in particular, the text type portrait, forms of the idyll and autobiography, and finally various forms of modern literature, in which iterative narration occurs because the narrated world and the discussed world overlap, are available for selection.

计划对迭代叙事形式进行历史类型学研究——这是迄今为止几乎没有研究过的叙事学复合体，他试图分离、用术语界定和把握这一现象，迭代叙事发生在只讲述多次发生的事情时。因此，迭代叙事首先是一种描述时间重复过程的特殊形式，在这方面，通过避免重复实现叙事经济，这使叙事接近于疏远。在“古典叙事”中，迭代段落是新的条目，或者在占主导地位的单一叙述、以事件为中心的文本元素之间具有过渡特征，计划中的专着将重点关注 1850 年之后的德语文学，其中迭代叙事结构。由于各种原因，对社会现实中重复结构的日益关注发挥了重要作用：日常生活、习惯、仪式、强迫行为等都被捕捉到。从本质上讲，问题是如何叙述已经陷入重复结构的生活，以达到叙事再现从行动到行为观察的边界。然而，当详细的场景叙事被标记为迭代时，迭代叙事往往具有“伪迭代”的倾向，以便第一次更准确地捕捉迭代叙事并进一步激发。为了进行研究，将出版两本专着——第一本专门讨论与迭代相关的理论和类型学问题，第二本探讨了这种在某些体裁中不起眼的叙事程序的历史发展，这里是叙事，特别是文本类型。肖像、田园诗和自传的形式，最后是各种形式的现代文学，其中由于叙述的世界和讨论的世界重叠而发生迭代叙述，都可供选择。
