Individual Presentations

KKB - commands attention w/ storytelling: info not seperate from message

Check Mark Parker - not bound to his text, passed around tangible objects, chaos

ONG

Chapter 7 - Be read very carefully - People who talk about literary history usually never talk about the oral tradition, largely because it does not exist in terms of written text. The Bible is a book/text centered culture. Interiorization and the importance to the individual are literary evolutions.

1. Plea for Oral Traditions in the literary history.

2. Identify these schools of literary criticism-
Formalism - New Criticism - Nothing but the text!
Structure - Deep Structures within the text that control it
Deconstruction - "There is no outside the text!" Everything is connected
Reader Response - It depends on the experiences and knowledge of the reader

3. Phonocentrism (speech)
Logocentrism (word)

4. We have become more interior, and this is because we have become more literate.
