Zeitschrift und Zeitgeschichte. Die Zeiten (1805–1820) als chronopoetisches Archiv ihrer Gegenwart

Abstract

Abstract This article discusses periodicals as media formats that are dependent on and correlated with time. This article treats periodical publication as a form of chronopoetics, exploring modes of writing the present at work in journals as well as their varied relationships to history writing. Focusing on Die Zeiten, a historical-political monthly magazine of the Napoleonic Era, this article describes chronopoetic writing as the imbrication of history, as the experience of time in and through medial formats, and describes the more specific rhetorical, material, and medial temporalities of periodicals.
