WHAT IS A PHILOLOGICAL QUESTION? PART 2
By Vera Bühlmann, ATTP TU Wien (www.attp.tuwien.ac.at)
On Werner Hamacher, “For-Philology” in Minima Philologica 2015 [2002]
The lecture series “Architecture and Philology” deals with the role of language in today’s architecture. This suffers from the increasing flood of images that are largely meaningless (because they are generic and unspecific in what they represent). In contrast, as in the Renaissance, many interesting vernacular colloquialisms emerge on a new technical basis. We follow the idea that architecture is spoken and not drawn, and gives generous space for speaking. It deals with the rhetorical and dialectical figures, as well as literary formats in which the techniques and manners of an era manifest themselves.
