요약This dissertation examines how Swiss literary modernist Robert Walser's late writing and manuscript practices (1924-1933) responded to the constraints of the commercial newspaper feuilleton by transforming them into opportunities for literary innovation. It focuses on Walser's microscripts - tiny manuscripts written in pencil on paper scraps - which served as drafts for feuilleton pieces published in newspapers such as Berliner Tageblatt and Prager Presse. Contrary to early accounts that pathologized these manuscripts as chaotic jottings or "documents in madness," this study demonstrates that Walser developed a poetics of opacity. His writing met the feuilleton's demands for brevity, topicality, and voice, while also deploying three forms of opacity - verbal, phonetic, and material - to create a density of potential references. Through this strategy, his texts generated "near sense," a semantic condition verging on nonsense and clear sense.The dissertation compares Walser's microscripts, fair-copy rewrites, and printed versions, using methods from genetic criticism, material philology, and historical contextualization. It shows how each format generates distinct meaning possibilities under its own constraints: the microscript's substrate conditions, the fair copy's standardization, the feuilleton's editorial framing and placement. Walser's practice mobilizes the semantic potential of textual modulation across formats, satisfying both the feuilleton's communicative function and its invitation to interpretive play. Three key concepts articulate his method. "Parasemiosis" denotes a mode of signification resistant to paraphrase. "Productive opacity" describes how the resulting ambiguity becomes a resource for the reader. "Elasticity" names a mark's capacity for appearing to stretch toward an icon or symbol and snap back to its indexical status as a trace. These concepts illuminate how Walser's feuilletons sustain a counter discourse within the newspaper's commercial logic, introducing a "gift economy" of interpretation into a medium that purports to offer journalistic clarity. Close readings show how this works across phonetic register, spatial form, and editorial placement. Against views of modernism as resisting or transcending mass media, this study presents Walser's style as an adaptation - literary innovation within the institutions of print and commerce.
