Jelinek online. Elfriede Jelinek: work and reception

The goal of this research project is the digital indexing and secure storage of bibliographic data regard- ing Jelineks complete works including its artistic, scientific, and media impact. Complete biblio- graphic data from the original project Elfriede Jelinek: Work and Reception. Annotated Bibliography (P 23158-G20; completed in 2014) are to be made available as Open-Access-Files to all interested parties in the form of an online portal. This will include new data since 2014 on the work and recep- tion of Jelineks production as well as all cross references, commentaries, and comprehensive correla- tions of media and broad genre classifications. In the course of making this data available to a global audience the content of work and reception will be extensively revised and expanded. By establishing correlations of information and creating links within the portal as well as to all available online Jelinek texts and secondary literature, the full con- tent and form of material relating to work and reception will be delineated. Further reference material and adaptations can be accessed and linkages across genres will be detailed. A focus will be on the contextual review of an ever increasing number in recent years of proliferating texts as well as auxilia- ry texts that are interrelated in reference to aesthetics and motifs. In this way work specific historical developments, gaps, consistencies, parallel themes and stylistic modifications will be elucidated. Based on the Jelinek research a new reference and keyword system will be established and become an integrated element of the cross-linked search function of the portal. Another focus of the project is the coordination of the portal with the inventory of the Elfriede Jelinek Research Center. By integrating the online platform and the new catalog in progress the full content of the archive-data will be made accessible with transparent cross references. This will enable all inter- ested parties more efficient research as well as direct access to contextual classifications, annotations and commentaries relating to the materials under investigation. The digital accessibility of biblio- graphical data concerning Elfriede Jelineks work and reception in association with the globally unique Jelinek archives enable permanently reliable sources of Jelineks work and reception to the project. These resources will be regularly updated and kept current, offering fundamental incentives for encounters with the production of Elfriede Jelinek and Austrian literature since the 1960s.

"Jelinek online. Elfriede Jelinek: Work and Reception": The goal of this research project was the digital indexing and secure storage of bibliographic data regarding Jelinek's complete works including its artistic, scientific, and media impact. Complete bibliographic data from the completed previous project "Elfriede Jelinek: Work and Reception. Annotated Bibliography" (P 23158-G20; completed in 2014) are to be made available as Open-Access-Files to all interested parties in the form of an online portal. This includes new data since 2014 on the work and reception of Jelinek's production as well as all cross references, commentaries, and comprehensive correlations of media and broad genre classifications. In the course of making this data available to a global audience the content of work and reception was also revised and expanded. Information links and links within the portal as well as to Jelinek texts and secondary texts available online were used to highlight the connections between the content of the works and their reception. One focus was on the contextual review of an ever increasing number in recent years of updates and rewrites of texts and additional texts that are interrelated in reference to aesthetics and motifs. In this way, lines of development, breaks and continuities in the history of the work were illustrated. Based on the Jelinek research, a new keyword system was developed that thematically links the works, interviews and artistic adaptations of the works and became an integral part of the portal's cross-linked search functions. Another central concern of the project was to merge the archive catalog and portal in order to achieve a link with the archive holdings of the Elfriede Jelinek Research Center. With the digital indexing of the bibliographical data on Jelinek's work and reception in connection with the world's only Jelinek archive, the project enables a permanently secured source situation of Jelinek's work and reception, which can be continuously updated and kept up to date, and offers fundamental impulses for discussions of her texts and Austrian literature since the 1960s.
