Since we've written a book, do you think /lit/ could ever muster up the resources to do a full philological study on a classic text?
Think of it as indie academia

uh, but that's not what philology means, it's the study of language...like classical philologists study ancient languages like latin, greek and sanskrit, etc. who ever made that pic is a mong

>it's the study of language
no it's not. even if you go by what you describe, "like classical philologists study ancient languages like latin, greek and sanskrit, etc." that's the study of languages, not language.

Don't know about philology, but I could definitely see a collaborative /lit/ crit essay getting off the ground.

or a collection. I just don't like the idea of /lit/ becoming legitamite so to speak.

A collaborative critical essay would probably be a clusterfuck of interpretations. I think something that traces specific etymological and historical meaning would be better since its research and translation.
Don't you think it'd be interesting if a bunch of people on an imageboard could pull off a full analysis and translation of untranslated Sanskrit, Latin, Greek, or Chinese texts?
