The first anthropology book to be sold with a Compact Disc
Interactive (CDi)
This original and radical book challenges dominant parameters of
literacy by comparing the oral tradition of the Tamils in South
India with the Western culture of printed text. In India,
traditional texts are always performed; as a result, form and
meaning can change depending on the occasion. This is the opposite
of Western communication through publication which is a static
representation of knowledge.
The author examines the reasons for the differences between the
Indian and Western textual traditions, and describes how text lives
through the performing arts of words, sound and imagery. She argues
that interactive multimedia is the first Western communication form
to represent oral traditions effectively. A Compact Disc
Interactive (CD-i) - packaged with the book - allows readers to see
for themselves how multimedia can add meaning and complement
traditional text-based studies.
The CDi: The CDi offers a new learning experience that builds on
the two-way creative process in an efficient and enjoyable way. A
TV set and CDi player is all that is required to run the Philips
CDi.
