520    What do the bizzare etymologies of Jean-Pierre Brisset, 
       made-up languages for literary fiction, The Dialectic of 
       Enlightenment, Latin grammarians, Horace's Epodes, and the
       Papyrus of Ani have in common? Absolutely nothing. Yet, 
       taken together they provide an unusually coherent picture 
       of a hitherto unacknowledged non-tradition of linguistic 
       investigation. At these moments, particularly within the 
       traditions of European writing which can loosely be termed
       "avant-garde," philology goes rogue, hearkening to 
       unearthly imperatives and barely comprehended intimations,
       and producing results well beyond those generated by more 
       respectable - and supposedly more grounded - philological 
       endeavors. 'Pataphilology: An Irreader seeks to document 
       and analyze such moments of philological speculation, 
       invention, and détournement. In using the term 
       'pataphilology, Gurd and van Gerven Oei are not proposing 
       a facile analogy with 'pataphysics, where 'pataphilology 
       would be philology's wacky twin, always out for a lark, 
       never doing anything real. This would presuppose an 
       operation (even if parenthetical) on philology analogous 
       to a shift from physics to 'pataphysics, something which 
       Alfred Jarry, to whom this volume owes the latter 
       neologism, appears to contradict in his initial definition
       : "Pataphysics [...] is the science of that which is 
       superinduced upon metaphysics, whether within or beyond 
       the latter's limitations, extending as far beyond 
       metaphysics as the latter extends beyond physics." Any way
       you cut it, 'pataphysics is a physics that demands -- or, 
       better, that relies on -- an utmost philological 
       sensitivity to writing, unheard etymologies, unstable 
       translations, incomplete formalizations, and haphazard 
       decryptions. This volume seeks, then, to document how 
       philological practices -- no matter how non-standard, 
       disreputable, or academically useless -- have played a 
       role in the production of avant-garde literature and 
       knowledge, as well as forgotten, alternative, or 
       fictitious scholarly projects. Ranging from the papyrus of
       Ani to the future languages of speculative fiction, from 
       the fictional tablets of Armand Schwerner to the Attic 
       Nights of Aulus Gellius, from Horace to Lacan, 
       'Pataphilology: An Irreader is a cabinet of philological 
       curiosity -- and a map of the ever-changing constellations
       that emerge when human language loses its chains.
