Language in all its modes-oral, written, print, electronic-claims
the central role in Walter J. Ong's acclaimed speculations on human
culture. After his death, his archives were found to contain
unpublished drafts of a final book manuscript that Ong envisioned
as a distillation of his life's work. This first publication of
Language as Hermeneutic, reconstructed from Ong's various drafts by
Thomas D. Zlatic and Sara van den Berg, is more than a summation of
his thinking. It develops new arguments around issues of cognition,
interpretation, and language. Digitization, he writes, is inherent
in all forms of "writing," from its early beginnings in clay
tablets. As digitization increases in print and now electronic
culture, there is a corresponding need to counter the fractioning
of digitization with the unitive attempts of hermeneutics,
particularly hermeneutics that are modeled on oral rather than
written paradigms. In addition to the edited text of Language as
Hermeneutic, this volume includes essays on the reconstruction of
Ong's work and its significance within Ong's intellectual project,
as well as a previously unpublished article by Ong, "Time,
Digitization, and Dali's Memory," which further explores language's
role in preserving and enhancing our humanity in the digital age.
