Description: Participants discuss new perspectives on historical philology, including colonial philology and the reassessment of premodern non-European literary cultures, focusing on discursive practices (e.g., orality, women’s voices) that resist historical transmission and mobile textual cultures and on how we can imagine philology as a critical practice.
