Abstract:

Comparative philology was one of the most prolific fields of knowledge in the
humanities during the 19th century. Based on the discovery of the
Indo-European language family, it seemed to admit the reconstruction of a
common history of European languages, and even mythologies, literatures, and
people. However, it also represented a way to establish geographies of
belonging and difference in the context of 19th century nation-building and
identity politics. In spite of a widely acknowledged consensus about the
principles and methods of comparative philology, the results depended on local
conditions and practices. If Scandinavians were considered to be Germanic or
not, for example, was up to identity politics that differed in Berlin,
Strasbourg, Copenhagen and Paris. 

The contributors here elaborate these dynamics through analyses of the
changing and conflicting versions of imaginative geographies that the actors
of comparative philology evoked by using Scandinavian literatures and
cultures. They also show how these seemingly delocalized scientific model
depended on ever-different local needs and practices. Through this, the book
represents the first distinctly transnational dynamic geography and history of
the philological knowledge of the North—not only as a history of a scientific
discourse, but also as a result of doing and performing scientific work.
