Den föreliggande uppsatsen utgörs av en filologisk undersökning av den medeltida dikten Hertig Fredrik av Normandie i 1400-tals handskrifterna D3, också känd som fru Elins bok, och D4a, också kallad fru Märtas bok, samt en transkription i synoptisk form av Hertig Fredrik i dessa båda handskrifter. Målet med uppsatsen är att bidra till forskningsfrågan om handskrift D3 bör betraktas som oberoende av D4a, som Britta Olriks Frederiksens och Agnieszka Backmans aktuella undersökningar från 2006 respektive 2017 har visat. För att pröva deras resultat har en komparativ undersökning gjorts av Hertig Fredrik i D3 och D4a med avseende på att utreda, beskriva och analysera de textkritiska skillnaderna mellan texten i D3 och texten i D4a. Undersökningens resultat visar att Hertig Fredrik i D3 inte borde betraktas som en avskrift av D4a utan som oavhängig av denna. Därmed kan det konstateras att också texten Hertig Fredrik stöder Frederiksens och Backmans resultat som förespråkar D3:s oberoende från D4a. Studien visar dock att Hertig Fredrik i D3 är en förkortad version i jämförelse med D4a och D4.

I föreliggande studie undersöks det textkritiska förhållandet mellan de två textvittnena av Lilla Rimkrönikan i de senmedeltida handskrifterna Cod. Holm. D 4a, även kallad Fru Märtas bok, och Cod. Holm. D 3, även kallad Fru Elins bok. Studiens teoretiska och metodiska utgångspunkter vilar i synnerhet på textkritiken men har på flera sätt influerats av materialfilologiska tankebanor.  Undersökningens resultat pekar på att de två textvittnena med största sannolikhet är besläktade genom parallell tradering. Detta grundas främst på studiens slutsats om att alla dateringar som förekommer i textverket omöjligt kan vara primära läsningar, utan att man snarare får räkna med att vissa dateringar har lagts till sekundärt. Bland dessa sekundärt tillagda dateringar hör två dateringar som saknas i D 3, men förekommer i D 4a. Denna slutsats överensstämmer dessutom med vad de karaktäristiska felen i respektive textvittne kan säga om det textkritiska förhållandet. Vidare uppdagades två sekundära läsningar i D 3 som kan vara resultatet av förändringskedjor, vilket talar för att det möjligtvis kan ha legat ett nu förlorat mellansteg mellan D 3 och det steg där de två skilda grenarna förenas i traderingen.

The research project “Beethovens Werkstatt” is intended as a contribution to basic musicological research. Methods, concepts and digital components developed in this project using the example of Beethoven are meant to be transferable to other composers. In my paper, I choose Robert Schumann as an example to test this transferability. Concepts that were developed in the course of the first module of “Beethovens Werkstatt” aim at the reconstruction and digital representation of genetic variants. They are based on research on the composer’s work processes. Fundamental aspects of this research include, for example, the temporality of the writing process; the composer’s self-critical dialogue with what he has already written; the work routines that may lie behind it (can certain compositional strategies be derived from them?). These questions are not only specific to Beethoven. They can generally be asked in connection with other composers. However, a prerequisite for an insightful research is a good record of handwritten texts and manuscripts. Due to the rich source material and Schumann’s habit of documenting many details in his diaries and working manuscripts, a text-genetic and digital analysis of his working methods is particularly suitable.

Introduction Digital databases and libraries have for the last 20 years become ubiquitous tools in the philological study of ancient texts. While these databases provide easy access to texts, critical information is often lacking. One example of that is information regarding conjectures and conjectural emendations in the texts. A number of projects in recent years have aimed to collect conjectures in a digital format and present them online, but none have so far been aimed at Ancient Greek philology. To further develop this area of research it is the aim of this thesis to illustrate how conjectures on Ancient Greek literature can be collected and presented in a digital context to fulfil the information needs of philologists. Method Semi structured interviews were conducted with philologists at Uppsala University, University of Oslo and Oxford University. The interviews were tape recorded and the transcripts of the interviews formed the data for analysis. Analysis Qualitative analyses were carried out on the data. To analyse the information needs of the philologists, theoretical approaches found in hermeneutics and information scientific research on the interaction of library professionals and philologists were used. Results It was found that the information needs of philologists varied depending on their professional orientations, e.g. if they were focused on textual criticism, reception studies, ancient or medieval philology. In the interviews it became clear that the use of digital tools varied somewhat between the philologists. The interviews also showed that there are a number of active projects aimed at producing digital critical editions. University and other research libraries are generally where information on proposed conjectures can be found. Conclusion Generally the philologists expressed a need for easier access to the reasonings behind conjectures. Searching for such information is time consuming because it has not been recorded with the same scholarly rigor as other kinds of information. The establishment and online publication of bibliographic records is a first step to amend this need. Current open-source projects aimed at producing digital critical editions can form the basis for further developments in the field. Since research libraries are where information on conjectures can be found, they play an important role in making this information accessible. Further interaction between philology scholars and library professionals is encouraged in order to identify where information can be found and how it can be digitized and made accessible. This is a two years master’s thesis in Library and Information Science.

This thesis argues, contrary to Gilles Deleuze’s critique of method and disavowal of textuality, that there is a re-constructive textual method at work in Deleuze’s 1968 treatise Différence et répétition. It is a method not for interpretation, representation, or deconstruction but for prolonging and reactivating historical and contemporary texts into the present and for the future. It is demonstrated how Deleuze’s method synthesises temporally and thematically heterogeneous texts and make them resonate with each other. The analysis is conducted, first, through a notion of telling stories as a complementary device to Deleuze’s definition of philosophy as the creation of concepts. Second, by showing how Deleuze – instead of offering solutions – connects, develops, and repeats problems from which the new is drawn. Third, by discussing his positive and re-constructive concept of critique and by arguing that his use of free indirect discourse should be understood as a metaphysical and political tool. Finally, by claiming that Deleuze’s concept of multiplicity can be viewed as a synthetic and methodological device that brings a heterogeneous given together. In concluding, it is proposed that Deleuze draws on tools and technics developed in literature and mathematics, specifically differential calculus and geometry, to develop methods for philosophy. Studying Deleuze’s method in Différence et répétition not only offers a prism for throwing new light on Deleuze’s philosophy through his understudied methodology, but also contributes to the development of innovative philosophically inspired methods for re-constructing the present. In addition, this study shows that while Deleuze pushed continental philosophy beyond its hermeneutic, structuralist, and existentialist heritage, he also contributed to the development of novel methodologies.
