  • Italy and its Monarchy

    Walter J OngBOOKItaly and Its Monarchy2017

    Written by one of the world's leading historians of Italy, this provocative and highly readable book is the first major study of the Italian monarchy and its impact on Italy's history, from Unification in 1861 to the foundation of the Italian republic after the Second World War. "Brilliant, . . . remarkable, . . . highly entertaining. . . . Only Mack Smith could have told what is finally so shabby a story with this combination of learning and bra…

  • Orality, Literacy, and Medieval Textualization

    Walter J OngARTICLENew Literary History1984Cited by: 4

    Although writing was ultimately to transmute oral performance into quite new genres, nevertheless, even after the introduction of writing, oral mindsets and ways of expression have persisted in literary works everywhere, from antiquity to the present day. For centuries literature carries a very heavy residue of what I have styled primary orality, the pristine orality of cultures with no knowledge of writing. This residue notably diminishes from t…

    Walter J OngARTICLEJournal of the American Academy…1977

    Recent study of the nature of textuality as such opens new insights for the study of the Bible. Although individual parts of the Bible have oral antecedents, the Bible as a whole has existed only as a text, and a unique kind of text, folded back on itself out of communal memory as no other book has been. A text is a monument. Textuality establishes a special relationship between discourse and death. Spoken words are exchanges between living perso…

    erable interest to anthropologists, linguists, and others, for on these instruments Africans have produced probably the most highly developed acoustic speech surrogates known around the world.' Various cultures have developed acoustic surrogates or sound substitutes for ordinary spoken words, using gongs or drums or whistles or bells or other instruments, as well as special sounds produced by the human voice itself, to communicate verbalized mess…

    In one or another guise, questions concerning the value of literary con- tent have woven their way through most of twentieth-century Western poetics and literary theory, from the Russian Formalism of the first third of this century through the succeeding Prague Structuralism, the American New Criticism of the second third of the century and its Brit- ish connections, and the French Formalism running from Ferdinand de Saussure, with late detours t…

    As a concept and term, "world view" is useful but can at times be misleading. It reflects the marked tendency of technologized man to think of actuality as something essentially picturable and to think of knowledge itself by analogy with visual activity to the exclusion, more or less, of the other senses. Oral or nonwriting cultures tend much more to cast up actuality in comprehensive auditory terms, such as voice and harmony. Their "world" is no…
