"Sound exists only when it is going out of existence." on visual consciousness - Walter Ong, Orality & Literacypic.twitter.com/o9WBau8J58
@sarahdoingthing Ong's theories don't really hold up to scrutiny. Georges Dreyfus good on this. http://www.waggish.org/2011/wilbur-sanders-on-literary-criticism/ …
@AuerbachKeller next are you going to tell me that julian jaynes doesn't hold up to scrutiny?
@sarahdoingthing Touche, but I don't see people treating Jaynes' ideas as empirical truths and sociological frameworks.
@AuerbachKeller Brown's List of Human Universals treats oedipal complexes as real but it's still a useful tool to have in your head
@sarahdoingthing There are too many people who adopt Ong uncritically and treat him as received truth. Same with Derrida.
@AuerbachKeller just because something is sometimes adopted uncritically doesn't mean we should burn the book ;) see also: religion
@sarahdoingthing Where did I say to burn it? I just think people should ALSO read, say, Ruth Finnegan critiquing it: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/sample/read/2940150541610 …
@AuerbachKeller I wonder if the problem is Ongians, like Freudians
@sarahdoingthing The problem is that people don't read deeply or widely enough. "I read Orientalism and now I can critique EVERYTHING!"
@AuerbachKeller that's basically how us shaved monkeys deal with pluralism. no cultural canon, nobody has "read enough"
@sarahdoingthing Yet somehow 95% of grad students end up reading the same books (they just change every decade). It's depressing.
