English summary: Among other titles, Alexander Kluge has been described over the course of the past few decades by colleagues, critics and academics as an encyclopedist, a "chronicler of the century", "narrator of critical theory", or the "only large-scale project developer we have today" (Habermas). Such titles are merely endeavours to find a term to cover the whole interdisciplinary gamut of his works (running from literary, to film, theoretical and televisual work), which over more than five decades have developed a rhizomatic structure that is difficult to keep track of, even for authorities on Kluge. The Alexander Kluge Yearbook attempts to remedy this situation. Through the publication of new texts, it reflectsthe continued development of the history of his oeuvre, bringing together the results of international Kluge research, presenting documents from earlier periods and thus offering insight into the way he works. Each volume will contain, finally, an updated bibliography (of primary and research literature) and videography (of DCTP productions). German description: Enzyklopadist, Chronist des Jahrhunderts, Erzahler der Kritischen Theorie, der einzige Projektemacher grossen Formats, den wir heute haben (Habermas) - so und anders lauten die Berufsbezeichnungen, mit denen Alexander Kluge in den letzten Jahrzehnten von Kollegen, Kritikern und Wissenschaftlern bedacht wurde. Es handelt sich dabei um Orientierungsversuche angesichts eines interdisziplinaren oeuvres (bestehend aus literarischen, filmischen, theoretischen und televisuellen Arbeiten), das uber mehr als funf Jahrzehnte zu einem - selbst fur Kluge-Kenner - kaum noch zu uberschauenden, rhizomatischen Gebilde angewachsen ist. Das Alexander Kluge-Jahrbuch versucht diesem Umstand Rechnung zu tragen. Es wird - durch die Veroffentlichung neuer Texte des Autors - die weitere Entwicklung der Werkgeschichte abbilden, Ergebnisse der internationalen Kluge-Forschung zusammentragen, Dokumente aus fruheren Werkphasen prasentieren und somit Einblicke in Kluges Arbeitsweise ermoglichen. Schliesslich wird jeder Band eine aktualisierte Bibliografie (der Primar- und Forschungsliteratur) und Videografie (der DCTP-Produktionen) enthalten.
