Beskrivelse
Summary:French version of "The Writer's Audience is Always a Fiction", a 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.
