The Case for Empirical Textual Research
Abstract
While comparison and also forms of competition among different areas of research are becoming increasingly pressing, literary studies seem to be very slow in acknowledging the need to provide an explicit foundation to their research work. Validation criteria cannot be the same in different areas, but areas that do not make explicit their working procedures are likely to be in a situation of weaker credibility. Literary studies have a longer history than many contemporary sciences, with the risk of being prisoners of their illustrious past.Downloads
