Auch wenn es in der Regel eilt: bevor man ein Kunstwerk erhalten kann, muss man es angemessen zu beschreiben wissen, sonst läuft man Gefahr, grobe Fehler zu begehen. Dies gilt für ein Werk auf Basis "alter" Materialien wie Stein, Holz, Leinwand, Fasern, Bindemittel und Pigmente, dies gilt in nicht geringerem Masse für ein Werk, das moderne Materialien enthält: Kunststoffe, synthetische Farben, Halbleiter und elektromagnetische Felder. Die Definition dessen, was eigentlich das elektronische Kunstwerk ausmacht, führt mitten in die Thematik, was zu berücksichtigen und was zu unternehmen ist, wenn das Werk vom Neuzustand in die Alterungsphase eintritt. ...
The "Death of Literature" will be doubted as an affirmation, but, on the other hand, it will be analysed as an effective and dynamic theme in the history of literature. Considering the "Advent of new Medias" (J. Hörisch) and with reference to J. Derrida it will be demonstrated that literature since antiguity is orientated on an not only phonetical, but also optical 'Imaginary', and it is always playing with the auto-transgressing of itself- and that consequently the audio-visual medias represent a very special challenge as they are a kind of 'fulfilling' of these intraliterary tendencies. Modern German-speaking authors react upon this new "anxiety of influence" (H. Bloom) in at least five ways: by retreating in the 'essence' of literature (askesis), by adopting various technical elements (adaptio), by historizing and 'outstripping' the medias (reductio), by pretending an anticipation of the innovations of the medias by the literature (anticipatio) and last but not least with a fight under equals, using all means (agon).
