The Novel as Network: Forms, Ideas, Commodities engages with the contemporary Anglophone novel and its derivatives and by-products such as graphic novels, comics, podcasts, and Quality TV. This collection investigates the meaning of the novel in the larger system of contemporary media production and (post-)print culture, viewing the novel through the lens of actor network theory as a node in the novel network. Chapters underscore the deep interconnection between all the aspects of the novel, between the novel as a (literary) form, as an idea, and as a commodity. Bringing together experts from American, British, and Postcolonial Studies, as well as Book, Publishing, and Media Studies, this collection offers a new vantage point to view the novel in its multifaceted expressions today.

Der Roman als Netzwerk: Formen, Ideen, Waren beschäftigt sich mit dem zeitgenössischen englischsprachigen Roman und seinen Derivaten und Nebenprodukten wie Graphic Novels, Comics, Podcasts und Quality TV. Dieser Sammelband untersucht die Bedeutung des Romans im größeren System der zeitgenössischen Medienproduktion und (Post-)Printkultur und betrachtet den Roman durch die Linse der Akteur-Netzwerk-Theorie als einen Knotenpunkt im Roman-Netzwerk. Die Kapitel unterstreichen die enge Verbindung zwischen allen Aspekten des Romans, zwischen dem Roman als (literarischer) Form, als Idee und als Ware. Der Sammelband bringt Expert*innen aus amerikanischer und anglistisches Literaturwissenschaft und Postcolonial Studies sowie den Buch- und Medienwissenschaften zusammen und bietet einen neuen Blickwinkel auf den Roman in seinen vielfältigen Erscheinungsformen.
