This note clarifies the relation between philology and Auerbach’s text theories, suggesting how mediated forms create presence.
This note clarifies the relation between the theory of perceptual misalignment, the field of access, Auerbach’s account of Homeric exteriority, oral-formulaic theory, and philological approaches to Homeric textuality. It argues that the field of access does not reject Auerbach, replace Parry-Lord, or supersede philology, but asks a narrower analytic question: how mediated forms make presence available without grounding that presence in sovereign interiority or a single stable source.
