Title: Text, Context, Intertext, Intercontext – An Interdiscourse. On the (Relation between) Interpretation and Commentary of a Literary Text
Description:

Why does a commentary belong to the edition (of a literary text)? Because it does not interpret it. What it does, though, is it contextualizes the edited text and by so doing highlights its status as an inter(con-)text. From such a perspective, inter(con)-textuality figures as a concretization of what the more familiar concept of interdiscursivity entails. Particularly in an online edition, it is the first and foremost task of the commentary to render the interdiscursive context visible in which the literary text is embedded. Thus it is not only the interpretation of a text which is capable of questioning the edition of the same, but also vice versa an edition plus commentary is capable of putting the interpretation to the test, as it were – which can be shown by selected examples from the current work in the project MUSIL ONLINE – Interdiscursive Commentary.
