          Abstract

          RESUMO Este artigo tem por objetivo expor uma breve história das ideias na Europa, entre 1550 e 1900, sobre a língua falada e escrita na China. Seguindo o partido teórico do historicismo moderado de Sylvain Auroux (2004), sugerimos como fio condutor os discursos na disputa pela natureza da escrita chinesa: ideográfica ou fonográfica. Recusando-nos a tomar partido de uma ou outra alternativa, mostramos que este debate se desenvolve em torno de questões revisitadas ao longo destes mais de três séculos e que os estudos publicados pelos europeus encontram-se profundamente enraizados em seu contexto cultural, social e ideológico de produção. O status precário da escrita na história das ideias linguísticas se sobressai e aponta para o papel protagonista da escrita chinesa nas concepções de escrita desenvolvidas no ocidente, em particular sobre suas possibilidades representativas. Propomos, por fim, que os debates sobre o tema hoje reproduzem muitas das questões exploradas ao longo desta história, cuja resolução permanece ainda longe de um consenso.

          ABSTRACT This paper aims to present a brief history of ideas in Europe between 1550 and 1900 on the spoken and written languages of China. With the support of Sylvain Auroux moderate historicism (2004), I have chosen as a guideline to focus on the discussions regarding the nature of Chinese writing: ideographic or phonographic. While refusing to take sides, I intend to show that this debate has developed around recurring issues that have been revisited throughout this period of more than three centuries and that the studies published by the Europeans are deeply rooted in their cultural, social and ideological context of production. The precarious status of writing in the history of linguistic ideas is an outstanding evidence that is related to the historical leading role of the written Chinese influencing the development in the West of the concepts pertaining to writing, in particular in its representational possibilities. Finally, I propose that the ongoing debates on the subject still reproduce many of the issues explored throughout this history, the resolution of which is still far from being reached.
