Poetik der Fassungen. Das Blog ›Ze zurrealism itzelf‹ als literarischer Text und als Archivobjekt

Abstract

We document the results of a retro-archiving and literary analysis of Dana Buchzik’s blog Ze zurrealism itzelf . The starting point of our study is to consider how the blog has developed since 2010, what poetic processes characterise it, and how its genesis and poetics can be reconstructed using what is available of the blog in the Internet Archive. We describe the structure of the archival object and use the data available to reconstruct older versions of the blog. We cover the specific types of changes in the course of the blog’s textual genesis, describe them as elements of its poetics, and compare thematic and poetological aspects of three selected reconstructed versions. The methods of retro-archiving and reconstruction as well as the epistemology of the archival object serve as a basis for assessing types of changes and literary versions and constitute a workflow that can be used to analyse other blogs. This workflow is also relevant for the preparation of a text-genetic digital edition of a blog.
