Special Issue: Empirical Methods in Literary Studies
Editors: Fotis Jannidis (Wuerzburg, Germany), Gerhard Lauer (Goettingen, Germany), Simone Winko (Goettingen, Germany)
Empirical methods have a humble yet continuous tradition in literary studies. It is a tradition that seems to stand in fundamental opposition to historical and hermeneutical approaches due to differences concerning the practice of validation, reliability and extensiveness of their claims. JLT is interested in publishing articles that take a theoretical and systematic perspective on the question how empirical methods – despite those differences – might fit into the research practices of literary studies. How can both approaches complement each other? How can established questions in literary studies be answered differently (or maybe even more satisfyingly) by using empirical approaches? How does literature as a subject matter change through the use of empirical approaches, such as methods from the cognitive sciences or computer based processes? Which preconditions should (still) be clarified, so that empirical methods can become part of the literary studies?
