Hi, All,
My first chart analyzes the predictions made by prominent thinkers on the cusp of their changing worlds/ideologies regarding orality, print, electracy, and posthumanism. My second chart analyzes the similarities and differences between primary and secondary orality.
My timeline brings together important dates from Ong's work and important dates from trans-gendered history to show the concurrence of the use of print and then digital technology to enable first visibility and finally the positive social action that can come from this visibility for trans people.
See my chart here:

Hi Jen:

Jen,
ReplyDeleteyour timeline and chart are very helpful. The chart in particular provides great examples of why the term secondary orality is justified in a technologically connected world. Your examples of the post-Ong media perspective is useful to someone (like me) who is rather media-naïve about such things as reality shows.
thanks,
Marcy
