This book is about philology and its relevance over time. The
compilation foregrounds a multi-faceted field of research that has
dealt with the relationship between language, literature and
culture for over 2,000 years. The main thread of this volume,
comprising ten scholarly essays, is to show that philology as an
academic field and a scholarly perspective understood in its widest
sense as the profound understanding of language, literature and
culture does matter in the twenty-first century, that is to say, in
our own time characterized by globalization and digitalization. The
contributions reflect the many dimensions of philology and its
plurality, interdisciplinarity and the humanities. The volume seeks
to illustrate various ways of engaging with philology. Here lies
the true nature of philology, and this is why it still matters.
Contributors are Massimiliano Bampi, Maja Backvall, Jonas
Carlquist, Odd Einar Haugen, Helge Jordheim, Karl G. Johansson,
Lino Leonardi, Harry Loennroth, Outi Merisalo, Marita Akhoj Nielsen
and Nestori Siponkoski.
