another example of orality.

As I think back through my weekend I realize that orality shows up everywhere. This has been a main theme of the class and by now it is getting pretty easy to see instances where the typographical tradition is somewhat swamped by the oral thought process.

For example, this weekend I watched the movie "Return to Oz." In many ways it exemplifies the attributes of the oral thought process. In particular, it is very complementary. With the original movie, the relationship between the Rock King and the Emerald City, etc.

This is a pretty creepy movie, but interesting as it takes a lot of elements from 'The Wizard of Oz' and twists them a bit to reveal a darker side to the story.
