Edward Said and Palestine: archive, narration, philology
Keywords:
Palestine, Said, philology, archive, representation, inventionAbstract
Said’s thought must be understood within the relation between its most theoretical side, Said’s critical works such as Orientalism, and its practical part, Said’s activity as a militant of Palestinian cause. Said’s contribution to a Palestinian archive deals with his effort to brings together the two sides of his thought. The narration of Palestinian struggle is not an attempt to speak “for the Other”, but one phase of the development of Palestinian subjectivity showing itself in its self-narration. Philology is the science that Said considers able to investigate that kind of production of subjectivity. Philology, in Said’s works, is the kind of study that investigate words not only in its rational side, but also in its bodily dimension, trying to re-activate its imaginative and inventive faculties.Downloads
