The Text as Process and the Problem of Intentionality.
First published in: TEXT 3 (1987), 107-116; reprinted in Ecdotica 6 (2009), 126-135.
At a time in the history of scholarly editing in the twentieth century when «authorial intention» was still, under Anglo-American principles of editorial scholarship, a load-star for the realizing of critical editions, this essay set out to critique the implications of the intentional stance. It endeavoured to show that invoking intention, if valid at all for reaching editorial decisions and arriving at critically edited texts, could claim a theoretical foot-hold only in a conception of the closed and determinate text. A stance in theory recognizing and defining
texts as open and indeterminate, by contrast, would needs also foreground texts as by nature processual. In the processes of realizing and modifying texts, «intentions » as expressed in variation and revision will form strings of authors’ readings of successive validity. If and when scholarly editing takes its guidance from the processual variability of texts, «authorial intention is [seen to be no longer] a metaphysical notion to be fulfilled but a textual force to be studied». How such an approach to the forming of scholarly editions might prove to support their critical function is indicated by sketches of examples from texts by Bertolt Brecht and Ezra Pound.

On Textual Criticism and Editing: The Case of Joyce’s Ulysses
From: Palimpsest. Editorial Theory in the Humanities. (Edited by George Bornstein and Ralph G. Williams.) Ann Arbor: The University of Michigan Press, 1993, 195-224; page numbers between vertical slashes – |196| etc. – indicate the beginning of the original pages.
Occasioned by critique and criticism of the Critical and Synoptic Edition of James Joyce's Ulysses (edited in three volumes by Hans Walter Gabler with Wolfhard Steppe and Claus Melchior, New York and London 1984), this is a reflection on, and in its turn a critique of, principles and practices of scholarly editing. Specifically, the Anglo-American orientation in the 20th century towards bibliography, and towards copy-text editing with its claims to fulfilling authorial intention, is scrutinized in the light of alternative perspectives on the discipline.

J.S. Bachs Zweychörige Passion/J S Bach: St. Matthew Passion
Programme notes on Bach's St Matthew Passion in German and English
The programme notes sketch out the manifold structural doublings of Bach's St Matthew Passion in terms of vocal antiphony, of instrumental composition, and of numerological significance: The St Matthew Passion is devised as a redoubled Way of the Cross, a via crucis in 28 (as against the recognised 14) Stations.

The Synchrony and Diachrony of Texts: Practice and Theory of the Critical Edition of James Joyce's 'Ulysses'
Paper delivered at the inaugural conference of the Society for Textual Scholarship, New York, in 1981, and published in TEXT 1 (Transactions of the Society for Textual Scholarship, New York), 1984, 305-326.
The essay reflects on the critical implications of a scholarly edition's apparatus of variants. For examples, it draws on a short story of William Faulkner, on the manuscript development of John Milton's poem "At a Solemn Musick," and on James Joyce's Ulysses. Herein, it constituted at the time of delivery (1981) an advance notice of the apparatus rationale and design for the three-volume Critical and Synoptic Edition of Ulysses which, when published in 1984, coincided roughly with the publication of the essay.

"Remarks on Collation"
unpublished; variously distributed since summer 2007; pdf 27pp.
This is a contribution primarily to the ongoing discussion of textual collation in COST Action A32 ("Open Scholarly Communities on the Web"). It discusses requirements for instruments of electronic collation both for purposes of textual criticism and for critically interpretative work with literary, philosophical, historical etc. texts, and teaching. The existing tools it refers to are the collation module in the TUSTEP package of procedures for text data processing developed in Tübingen (Germany); the tool JuXta within the NINES/Collex system from ARP (Applied Research in Patacriticism) at the University of Virginia; and the collation tool CASE created for Peter Shillingsburg's Thackeray edition. In terms of principles, these tools are measured against fundamental requirements for collation; in terms of pragmatics, they are also looked at for potential integration into the infrastructure design for a research platform on the web that, at the time of writing, bore the name HYPER and has meanwhile been re-de-signed as TALIA.
