Rejecting the 'great-divide' theory of orality and literacy as separate and opposite to one another, the contributors posit that whatever meanings the two concepts have are products of their ever-changing relationships to one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough topics as diverse as Aboriginal Canadian societies, Ukrainian-Canadian narratives, and communities in ancient Greece, Medieval Europe, and twentieth-century Asia, these cross-disciplinary essays reveal the powerful ways in which cultural assumptions, such as those about truth, disclosure, performance, privacy, and ethics, can affect a society's uses of and approaches to both the written and the oral. The fresh perspectives in \u003cem\u003eOrality and Literacy\u003c\/em\u003e reinvigorate the subject, illuminating complex interrelationships rather than relying on universal generalizations about how literacy and orality function.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keith Thor Carlson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487527683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487527686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Keith Thor Carlson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073016393983,"sku":"9781487527686","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57e83d07-88de-4d9a-9fd5-880f88a8a4c0.jpg?v=1685445307","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/orality-and-literacy-keith-carlson-9781487527686","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
