Abstract
This contribution develops a comprehensive understanding of citation as a discursive process that comprises, among other forms of citation, quotation in historical writing, case histories, and literature. History proper and the genre of case histories are analyzed as asymmetrical—pragmatic—forms of citation, literature as a symmetrical form. Büchner's work is shown to be a unique site for opening the investigation on the practices of citation.
