Abstract
This course is intended to examine various issues involving orality and literacy and its consequences for ourselves and the others whose lives we wish to understand. We will begin with several important questions: Does it matter to one's thoughts and one's life whether one is raised in a primarily oral culture or a highly literate one? How, when, where and why did writing and recording systems begin? How can writing be used to effectively convey anthropological knowledge both within and beyond the discipline?
