Seit ihrer Entstehung widmet die Literatur dem Sammeln eine große Aufmerksamkeit: Sie nimmt Methoden, Gegenstände, Protagonisten und Institutionen ins Visier und reflektiert, modifiziert oder subvertiert dabei wissenschaftliche Sammlungsobjekte und -strukturen. Sprachen des Sammelns vereint Studien aus Literatur-, Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaft ebenso wie Beiträge von Schriftsteller/innen und Künstler/innen, in denen ein erweiterter Literaturbegriff zum Tragen kommt. Inwiefern kann Sprache selbst als eine Form der Sammlung verstanden werden? Lässt sich die Funktion einer Sammlung analog zur Sprache denken? In vier systematischen Abschnitten wenden sich die Beiträge der Beschreibbarkeit von Dingen und der Sprachdinglichkeit zu, sie untersuchen Dynamik und Statik von Ordnungsstrukturen, befragen den Menschen als Sammlungssubjekt und -objekt und widmen sich demjenigen, was als Abjekt, Rest oder Abfall aus der Sammlung wieder herausfällt.

This book examines the role and the meaning of collecting in the fiction of Henry James. Emerging as a refined consumerist practice at the end of the nineteenth century, collecting not only set new rules for appreciating art, but also helped to shape the aesthetic tenets of major literary movements such as naturalism and aestheticism. Although he befriended some of the greatest collectors of the age, in his narrative works James maintained a sceptical, if not openly critical, position towards collecting and its effects on appreciation. Likewise, he became increasingly reluctant to follow the fashionable trend of classifying and displaying art objects in the literary text, resorting to more complex forms of representation. Drawing from classic and contemporary aesthetics, as well as from sociology and material culture, this book fills a gap in Jamesian criticism, explaining how and why James's aversion towards collecting was central to the development of his fiction from the beginning of his career to the so-called major phase.
