Harun Maye is a member of the Scientific Network of the German Research Foundation (DFG) at the Center for Book Studies at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich on the topic "Collaborating. Practices of Literary Collaboration" (duration: 2023-2026).

The network aims to observe the practices of literary collaboration and the ways in which they are discursivized over a larger historical period from the 18th century to the present. One focus will be on the activities of marginal and intermediary figures in the literary enterprise. It will examine how practices of deletion or evaluation, interactions between authors and readers, processes of proofreading, or the collaborative production of texts (e.g., in the theater or at readings) have changed over time. The network's interest focuses on the actors and professions by which such practices were carried out, and at what historical junctures new roles or fields of activity were added.
