书籍简介
Walter J. Ong's classic work provides a fascinating insight into the social effects of oral, written, printed and electronic technologies, and their impact on philosophical, theological, scientific and literary thought. This thirtieth anniversary edition - coinciding with Ong's centenary year - reproduces his best-known and most influential book in full and brings it up to date with two new exploratory essays by cultural writer and critic John Hartley. Hartley provides: A scene-setting chapter that situates Ong's work within the historical and disciplinary context of post-war Americanism and the rise of communication and media studies; A closing chapter that follows up Ong's work on orality and literacy in relation to evolving media forms, with a discussion of recent criticisms of Ong's approach, and an assessment of his concept of the `evolution of consciousness'; Extensive references to recent scholarship on orality, literacy and the study of knowledge technologies, tracing changes in how we know what we know. These illuminating essays contextualize Ong within recent intellectual history, and display his work's continuing force in the ongoing study of the relationship between literature and the media, as well as that of psychology, education and sociological thought.
Walter J. Ong的经典著作提供了对口头、书面、印刷和电子技术的社会影响,以及它们对哲学、神学、科学和文学思想的影响的迷人洞察力。他的第三十周年纪念版——正好是翁的百年诞辰——完整地再现了他著名和具影响力的著作,并以两位文化作家和评论家约翰·哈特利的两篇新的探索性文章作为全新资料。哈特利提供了:一个场景设定的章节,将翁的工作置于历史和学科背景下的战后美国主义和传播和媒体研究的兴起;最后一章,紧跟着Ong的工作口头和读写能力与演变中的媒体形式的关系,讨论了最近对Ong的方法的批评,并评估他的概念“意识的进化”;广泛参考最近在口头、读写和知识技术研究方面的学术成果,追踪我们如何知道我们知道的变化。这些富有启发性的文章将翁置于近代思想史的背景中,并展示了他的工作在正在进行的文学与媒体、以及心理学、教育和社会学思想之间关系的研究中持续的力量。
