Welcome
Textpraxis publishes contributions from all philological disciplines on the topics of literature and society, theories of literary studies and literary studies and practice. Since Textpraxis is an Open Access Journal, all articles are immediately accessible for free.
A new issue of Textpraxis appears every six months. Responses to articles already published are highly appreciated and will be published continuously.
In the spirit of a collaborative scientific understanding, Textpraxis neglects an anonymous peer review process and instead leads reviewers and authors into a productive dialogue. Registered readers can participate in this dialogue through comments once the article has been published.
More information about Textpraxis can be found under Concept.

Response by Darin Tenev
Based on Robert Matthias Erdbeer’s article »Poetik der Modelle« in Textpraxis # 11, Darin Tenev reflects in his article »Models of Poetics« on the term ›Eigensinn‹ as the emergent potential of the text and its modelforming structures. Furthermore, he illustrates the relevance of Erdbeer’s approach for the constitution of historical and systematical literary models.
