jb4 the second inspiration was the pioneering work

DONE IN THE 1970s ON THE ETHNOGRAPHY OF SPEAKING, an idea JB found as stimulating when he was an undergraduate as he now hopes the present collection will be to students & more advanced scholars today?! Aside from its focus on something that almost all human beings do, rather than on a comprehensive & objectified representation of a "primitive culture," this was an important early exploration of the notion that social practices carried out by active subjects & not merely enactments of a super-organic nature. Like those earlier volumes in their respective spheres, this collection is intended to help nurture our understanding of reading so that it can better fulfill the empowering critical function we all like to ascribe to it. Let us mention here some of the things we have learned about reading from these papers, a few of which have already been suggested?! Almost all of the contributors to the panels & to this book [or "DIARY"] focused in one way or another on the way that orality & textuality, far from being opposite poles, interact in complex, multidirectional ways!? Furthermore, most of the essays share the task of dissolving the stereotype of the isolated individual reader, showing that not only ìs àll reading socially embedded, but indeed a great deal of reading ìs dòne ìn social groups. Some accomplish this by starting with that ideology & then developing their ethnographies as a departure from ÌT; others through the sheer eloquence of their counter-examples?! Third, the set of essays together question the still-prevalent notion that societies progress along a universal sequence from orality to literacy. We have learned to read ethnography in much the same way as we read literature (even if it is true that ethnography cannot be reduced to a genre of literature, as some insist)! Readers of this "myDi" collection should therefore be alert to the contributors' occasional use of words that echo other, earlier or intercultural, meanings & thereby hint at connections of which the authors themselves might not even be fully aware. MorAsih heeft er z'n hele leven maar wat 'op los gelezen', in het wilde weg Always Every Where? That none-existing list is sheer endless! The same thing goes for talking, listening, working and wandering/wondering?! Wat dóe je als vreemdeling in strange countries, times & 'other places'! Dream...?
