Give the Word

Discover the thought-provoking collection, Give the Word, edited by renowned scholar Gerhard Richter, published by the University of Nebraska Press in 2019. This hardback edition spans 277 pages and features contributions from eleven distinguished scholars who engage with Werner Hamacher's insightful 95 Theses on Philology. Hamacher's work critically examines the humanities, particularly academic philology, arguing against the notion of language as a static entity and instead presenting it as a dynamic event. Give the Word invites readers to explore these challenging ideas and rethink the foundations of language and its implications in the academic world. Perfect for students, educators, and anyone interested in the evolving landscape of philology, this book is a must-have addition to your collection.
