# The Digital Ilse Aichinger List of Literature (`dial`) The _Digital Ilse Aichinger List of Literature_ (`dial`) aims at bibliographically listing as many published texts as possible by Ilse Aichinger (1921–2016). A complete bibliography has not yet been provided. Holdings of various archives and catalogs were searched, above all from the _Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach_ (`DLA`), who also funded the project within the framework of the _Forschungsverbund MWW_ with a fellowship. The `dial` thus comprises 2212 entries at the moment, 676 of which are to be understood as original publications and thus as work entities (as of November 2021). ## Prerequisites and how to use The file `dial_[#date].bib` is a text file which follows the syntax of `BibLatex` (see [ctan.org/pkg/BibLatex](https://ctan.org/pkg/BibLatex)). It can either be set with `Latex` for example into a `PDF` (see [Comprehensive TeX Archive Network](https://ctan.org/)) or imported into software which can process the format (for example [JabRef](https://www.jabref.org/)). In the long-term archive of the _Austrian Academy of Sciences_ [ARCHE](https://arche.acdh.oeaw.ac.at/) the current state of the `dial` is stored (Repository ID: _dial_12450_). In addition, it was imported to [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org) ([Q54007056](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q54007056)) with the corresponding vocabulary, so that the bibliogaphical data are openly accessible and changeable. ## Research sources The basis of the `dial` are the holdings of archives and their (mostly digital) catalogues. Especially helpful were the media documentation of the _DLA Marbach_ (DLA Marbach / Z:Aichinger, Ilse, 24 folders) and the catalogue of the _Literaturhaus Wien_. All in all, research was conducted in the holdings of the following institutions: * _Deutsche Literaturarchiv Marbach_, where the _Nachlass_ of Ilse Aichinger and her husband Günter Eich is archived, * and with the _S. Fischer Verlagsarchiv_, * and a rich _Mediendokumentation_, * the _Kontobücher_ from the literature agentcy _Ruhr-Story_ * and the _Kallías_ catalogue; * the rich catalogue of the _Literaturhaus Wien_; * the _Innsbrucker Zeitungsarchiv_; * the „kommentiertes [Verzeichnis der Literaturzeitschriften in Österreich 1945–1990](www.onb.ac.at/oe-literaturzeitschriften/) of the _Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek_; * the _Otl Aicher Archiv_ of the _Hochschule für Gestaltung_ in Ulm, * different bibliographies and bibliographies of bibliographies; * the _Österreichische Verbundkatalog_; * the catalogue of the _Deutschen Nationalbibliothek_; * the Zeitschriftendatenbank _ZDB_; * the _KVK – Karlsruher Virtueller Katalog_; * and the library of the _Arbeiterkammer_ in Vienna. Apart of this, following digital corpora have been checked: * the _AAC-Austrian Academy Corpus_ of the _Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften_, * _ANNO - AustriaN Newspapers Online_ of the _Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek_, * the _WISO Datenbank_, * the website of the austrian newspaper _Der Standard_, * the digital _Neue Rundschau Archiv_ and * the digitalised archive of the programs of the Volkshochschul of the _Deutschen Instituts für Erwachsenenbildung_ [die-bonn.de](www.die-bonn.de). ## Specific Explanations A declared goal of the project was to work in a pragmatic way with the basic idea of the `FRBR` model. The `FRBR` model distinguishes between _work_, _expression_, _manifestation_ and _example_; which is too differentiated for the purposes of this project, but whose basic idea seemed useful: the possibility to connect texts that are probably to be regarded as 'same' to each other in a specific way. Finally the platform _Wikidata_ was used, because it offers an open and extensible infrastructure. ### Work entities & Wikidata The field `wikidata` is not part of the `BibLatex` syntax. In _Wikidata_ the project `dial` has the identification number [Q54007056](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q54007056). In it all work units of the `dial` are collected: each with its own _Wikidata_ ID. If a work has been published more then once, the same _Wikidata_-ID is given to each of these publication in the `BibLatex` file. Thus the different publications are connected with each other. ### First publications and genre In order to make the first publications in particular easy to query, only the units regarded as first editions were provided with a term for the genre (in the `keywords` field). The following genres were used: * prose * verse * drama * prosepoetry * interview ### PDF The attached PDF export was created on 28.11.2021 per `Latexmk` (version 4.67), that is `pdfTeX` (version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.20, `TeX Live` 2019/Debian). The consecutive numbering is only stable with this specific bib-file and should not be used as a reference. ### HTML The `bib` file can also be searched locally in the browser with a `JavaScript`-script from _pcooksey_ [bibtex-js](https://github.com/pcooksey/bibtex-js). The most up to date version, although not stable, can be searched at per [ItemsJS](https://github.com/itemsapi/itemsjs/). Likewise, the _Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach_ hosts an copy of _dial_ at the following address: . ## further reading More detailed information can be found in my article „dial. Das Ilse Aichinger Literaturverzeichnis. Methoden, Quellen und eine erste Auswertung des Literaturverzeichnisses“ (in: _[digital humanities austria 2018](doi.org/10.1553/dha-proceedings2018)_, pp. 34–39) zu finden. Based on the _dial_, around one hundred publications were published in 2021 by S. Fischer under the title „Aufruf zum Mißtrauen. Verstreute Publikationen 1946-2005“ (ed. by Andreas Dittrich) and thus made more accessible. ## Signe Andreas Dittrich, Vienna, on the 29th of November 2021 ## License This project is licensed under CC-BY 4.0. ## Acknowledgments The `dial` was made possible by the _Digital Humanities_ scholarship of the [Forschungsverbund MWW](http://www.mww-forschung.de/), to which I am indebted. In addition I would like to thank the employees of the DLA (especially Laura Marie Pohlmann, Karin Schmidgall and Janet Dilger), furthermore to: * Hanno Biber of the `ICLTT/AC` at the _Austrian Academy of Sciences_, * Martina Trognitz of the `ACDH` at the _Austrian Academy of Sciences_, * Martin Mäntele of the _Hochschule für Gestaltung_ (Ulm) and * the employees of the _Innsbrucker Zeitungsarchiv_ (IZA). Above all, I would like to thank Christine Ivanovic (_University of Vienna_) for her support, without whom the project could not have started in the first place: thank you very much!
