Canonical Symposium. The Western Canonical Debate and its Theoretical Contributions. Bibliographical Information

Summary/Abstract: The selection of the essential elements for the circumscription of the cultural canon has been the subject of heated debate over the years. The following article provides a critical summary of the most important moments and works that have contributed to the identification of arguments capable of supporting various canonical models, highlighting their limitations, but also their hermeneutic or emulative value. The author’s conclusion is that, rather than a political (liberal-conservative) perspective, an essentially culturalist perspective is needed in understanding the canon. Canonical conflict has the pattern of a typological adversity (classicism - mannerism) and must be integrated into a recurring phenomenon (the old - new opposition), most likely at the foundations of any culture. In this polemical foundation resides the agonistic character of cultural systems.
