Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing of the WordMethuen, 1982 - 201 pagine Walter Ong's book is a compendium of others on like topics: Eric Havelock, Albert Lord, Basil Bernstein, himself, etc. But more than a gathering, it is a statement, clear, though not concise, meaningful in the broadest sense. The book splays out from a seeming center, that of the historical invention of writing, affecting a diversity of disciplines, from information theory to philosophy, from technology to Freud, from literature to television to computers to law to education to behaviorism to ... well, to civilization itself. The nature of his thesis is this: that the introduction of writing and, later, of print brought about a lasting and irreversible transformation of thought process, of personality, and of social structures so that what went before, orality, is clearly distinguishable from what came after, literacy. -- from http://www.jstor.org (Sep. 24, 2014). |
