Language and languages -- Philosophy; Consciousness; Literature -- Philosophy Lectures; Presentations (communicative events) Public lecture from Ong's Lincoln Lecture series. Ong's summary: Writing is always an artificial activity. Both writer and reader have to assume a fictional role. This is true not only of narrative for the general reading public but also for the most personal letters. The history of the ways in which successive generations of writers fictionalize their "audience" or readers is the history of the evolution of literary genres. It echoes and and helps generate the history of social structures. The implications of this fact remain to be worked out in European, African, American, and Eastern cultures. 1974 2006 text/PDF lincoln04_en SLU_Ong_Lincoln 64 2 1 1 239 Permission to copy or publish must be obtained from the Saint Louis University, Pius XII Memorial Library, Special Collections Department Saint Louis University Libraries Digitization Center text eng Saint Louis University Libraries Special Collections http://cdm17321.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/ong/id/692 |
