Attachment to tradition, one of literature's constituent features, is often particularly evident in cases where literature has to deal with intraliterary innovation. In marked contrast to scholarly and scientific discourses, innovation in literary practice may actually coincide with hostile responses to innovation at the level of poetological discourse; in such cases innovation is staged as a paradoxical effect, achieved despite and because of its programmatic rejection. In practice, innovation can take the form of a sophisticated aesthetic subversion of literary conventions (Subproject 01 Köbele). A closer look at the history of literary genres reveals that newly developing genres, resulting from a recombination of generic codes, are defined by contemporary poetology via references to generic parameters classified as 'foreign,' but ennobled by anciennité: literary theory of the past seeks to come to terms with literary innovation by linking it to literary tradition, in a manner stressing not merely the explanatory value of tradition but also the relative nature of innovation itself (Subproject 07 Traninger).
