| Description | The essentialist ethos which had presided over the emergence of the sciences, including philologies, was called into question at the end of the 19th century in favor of phenomenological approaches which gradually redefined the fields of investigation. The paperp attempts to show that the fragmentation of philological disciplines is not only a "natural" result of diversification and disciplinary specialization, but also a fundamental process which involves a redefinition of certain categories and approaches to causality and temporal and spatial factors. New approaches, stimulated by the phenomenological turning point, redefined the data of investigation by accentuating the synchrony and the spatialization and by transforming causality into processual dynamics. It is also one of the keys to understanding the redefinitions of Romance or French philologies, and French or Framcophone studies. |
