Abstract In this research proposal, it is aimed to investigate the proposal of return to philology of Edward Said. For this, besides the study and analysis of his publications on the subject, it is invested in a characterization of a certain philological lineage, as pointed out by Edward Said, which appear as precursors Giambattista Vico, Friedrich Nietzsche and Erich Auerbach. In this lineage, notions such as humanism and philology reappear forcefully embedded in certain cultural-political project proposed by the palestinian intellectual. For Said, a return to philology and the promotion of a new humanism are involved in the production of spaces of cultural coexistence and democratic criticism. Philology would not be more oriented towards recovering a primordial sense of humanity, but precisely towards the production of a privileged knowledge to the deal with the historical multiplicity of human self-expressions. It is necessary, finally, based on Said and what he inferred from his precursors, to discuss the place of philology and humanism in contemporary literary studies. (AU) | |
