A Selected Bibliography of Works in the Systemic and Empirical,
Institution, and Field Approaches to Literature and Culture (to 1998)

This bibliography contains works following the theoretical and methodological premises and postulates established in Pierre Bourdieu's Theory of the Literary Field (champ littéraire), Itamar Even-Zohar's Polysystem Theory, Niklas Luhmann's Systems Theory when applied to literature, and Siegfried J. Schmidt's Empirical Study of Literature (Empirische Literaturwissenschaft). Selected seminal works of Jacques Dubois's conceptually related Theory of the Literary Institution (l'institution littéraire) are also included. Based on their conceptual affinities and similarities, I designated these approaches in English as The Systemic and Empirical Approach to Literature and Culture (1993-). The bibliography is aimed at the English-language and principally North American literary scholarship where these approaches are less known but now emerging (on the North American theoretical landscape, perhaps the "contextual" approach comes closest to the postulates of these frameworks). The bibliography is tightly selected in order to provide a basic corpus of works for scholars not familiar with these approaches to literary study. It comprises principally theoretical and meta-theoretical studies while applications of the frameworks are excluded. However, selected works, where a substantial amount of theoretical discussion precedes an application, are included. Attention has also been paid to balance important early works of the approaches with those published more recently. The bibliography contains works published in English, French, and German only. However, it should be noted that there exists a large corpus of works in Dutch-, Swedish-, Russian-, Hungarian-, Spanish, Portuguese-, etc., as well as, in smaller numbers, in Japanese-, Bulgarian-, Korean-, Czech- and Slovak-, Chinese-, Italian-, Romanian-, etc., language scholarship.
