This work is a comparative study of nineteenth-century English-Canadian and French Canadian novel prefaces, a previously unexplored literary topic. As a study in Comparative Literature - with the application of a specific literary framework and methodology - the study conforms to theoretical and methodological postulates formulated in and prescribed by this framework when applied. This a priori postulate necessitates that the research on and the presentation of the Canadian novel preface be carried out in a specific manner, as follows. First, the study will establish the hypothesis that the preface to nineteenth-century English-Canadian and French-Canadian novels is a genre in its own right. This hypothesis will rest on the following: 1) a taxonomical survey of related terms meaning "preface"; 2) a survey of secondary Iiterature of works dealing with the preface; 3) a discussion of the theoretical framework and methodology of the Empirical Theory of Literature and its appropriateness for the study of the preface; and 4) a discussion of the process of the compilation of the corpus of nineteenth-century Canadian novel prefaces (Chapter one). In a second step, the theoretical postulate outlined in the hypothesis will be put into practice by the development and production of a preface typology (Chapter two). In a third step, further tenets of the Empirical Theory of Literature will be tested on the corpus of the prefaces (Chapter three). In a fourth step, the prefaces will be analysed following the tenets formulated in and prescribed by the systemic framework applied (Chapter four).

Eine qualitative Paneluntersuchung zur Dynamik des Verlaufs von Paarbeziehungen
Im Zuge des gesellschaftlichen Transformations- und Individualisierungsprozesses eröffnet sich ein Gestaltungsfreiraum für die Individuen: Die ‘Normalbiographie’ mit ihren inhärenten Erwartungen und Normen der ‘richtigen Ereignisse zum richtigen Zeitpunkt’ ist nicht mehr per se handlungsleitend - Lebensereignisse und deren Anordnung werden variabel und optional. Der ‘richtige’ Zeitpunkt, die Ausbildung abzuschließen, einen Partner zu finden, zu heiraten und Kinder zu bekommen, obliegt den Vorstellungen und der Gestaltung der Individuen bzw. stehen ganz zur Disposition. Für Individuen in Paarbeziehungen ist die Abstimmung individueller Vorstellungen und Erwartungen, um ein gemeinsames Zusammenleben zu ermöglichen, notwendiger denn je. Der Blick auf die innerpartnerschaftlichen Abstimmungsprozesse zeigt, dass nicht jedes ‘objektiv’ eintretende Ereignis Auswirkungen auf den Paarverlauf hat. Stattdessen kommt es auf ihre Interpretation und Konstruktion an, d.h. der Schlüssel zum Verständnis der Wirkung von (berufs)biographischen Ereignissen ist die konstruierte Wirklichkeit der Paare. Hierbei erscheinen die Beziehungskonzepte als ‘Glue’, der die Partner zusammenhält und die (In)Stabilität von Paarbeziehungen verstehen lässt.
