Ebook: Autor - Autorisation - Authentizität: Beiträge der Internationalen Fachtagung der Arbeitsgemeinschaft für germanistische Edition [...]

The volume assembles papers delivered at the ninth international symposium of the German Studies Work Group on the Scholarly Editing of Texts, which took place in conjunction with the Work Group on Philosophical Editions and the Group of Independent Research Institutes within the German Musicological Society at the Technical University in Aachen from 20 to 23 February 2002. Three categories and concepts central to editing work - author, authorization, authenticity - are explored for the significance they have for different editorial procedures and their mutual relations to one another. The exploration encompasses theoretical and methodological papers concerned with the superordinate connections obtaining within this conceptual field, papers discussing individual aspects of the conceptual field, and case studies pertaining to individual texts or authors.
