38141 the Ethnography of Reading: the example of ~
"QR"
& "RAEDAN"
aptly illustrates our
concern here for reuniting
textuality and orality within a shared field!
Thus Mack Horton refers to "THE DYNAMIC
BETWEEN JAPANESE ORALITY AND CHINESE ORTHOGRAPHY,"
but rather than maintaining these as two separate sites of communication,
he goes on to detail with remarkable precision the shaping
of literary reception in Japan by this very dynamic...
Johannes Fabian's essay in particular confounds our lingering sense
of an evolutionary development from simpler, oral societies to more complex literate ones,
by detailing the way that a "NATIVE" text - produced within an intricate matrix of colonial relations -
hàd to be réoralized before it could be received and interpreted by European anthropologists,
in a situation where "THE TRADITIONAL DISTINCTION BETWEEN ETHNOGRAPHERS
WHO WRITE AND NATIVES WHO TALK CAN NO LONGER BE MAINTAINED."
However much we may speak of the interactive relations between the spoken and the written, the heard and the read, no one should forget that they áre distinct techniques, or imagine that there is a happy, anarchistic relation of "FREE PLAY" between written & spoken language!
Several of the essayed entries detail the relations of power within which the distinction between the oral and the written is continually "REINSCRIBED," as academic theorists like to put it. Greg Sarris does so in an especially effective way by weaving together the insights available to one born into a culture, the insights available to a sympathetic outsider who comes with a set of critical, comparative questions, & the complex tensions between those two positions.
And certainly there is evidence in his entered essay of loss of meaning, both in the "TRANSLATION" from oral to written forms, & more strikingly, in the translation from one set of conventions about the relation between orality & literacy to another set - the latter a phenomenon documented by Mack Horton as well?!
Isn't this exactly what 'timetravel' is made of?
Sugar & spice & everything nice! Snugs & snails? Wigs &
tails! Sighs & leers, smiles & tears... Pigs & quails...
The essential ingredient of sense
& thought, (fe)male & trans is
dance, song, celebration
& tender
aging...!
