ARCHEOLOGY OF BEAUTY AND LOVE- I
Abstract
Poetics is the classic method of examining a literary work by focusing on its structure. Modern philology and hermeneutics developed alternatives in the nineteenth century taking poetics as a base. In the early 20th, poetics took on a new life through the "linguistic turn," which focused on the structures of "objects" created by language. With later poststructural and postmodernist approaches the archeology of texts gained a place beside philogy as an interpretive method. Philology looks at the textual sources of a work; it determines its place in history by tracing a cause and effect chain of influence. But it is always possible that there may be an older influencing text, or that influence may have traveled by other than textual means. Textual archeology explores these extra-textual avenues. Here I consider the place of Plato's Symposium in the archeology of the spiritual journey as we find it in Shaykh Galip's Beauty and Love.
