Linguistic Sub-Fields(s): Ling & Literature 

Meeting Description: 

Orality is an essential means for mental and emotive exchange as well as
for artistic expression. However, oral communication in African languages
has taken on new dimensions given by the increasing presence of literacy
and technical media. Therefore, in this conference we intend to address the
actual forms that African Orality takes in present contexts of
communication and literary creation marked by the diffusion of print,
radio, television and more recently the Internet. We ask attention for oral
communication in rural, urban and new international spaces (created by
electronic media) as well as for interactions between languages and styles.

One of the questions we would like to rise is, for example, in which ways
and how far classic and new directions of orality are preserved or created
when oral poems and tales are told in a situation where most people listen
to radio and watch television. Another aspect that could be explored is
whether and how far the Internet functions as a bridge between oral and
written exchanges, without forgetting that orality in such a new
environment assumes a symbolic role for collective and individual identity.

Linguistic, literary and anthropological researches have contributed to
explore African orality from different methodological and theoretical
perspectives as we can see in the studies concerning the shift from orality
to literacy, the construction of identity (and gender), and the creation of
new genres and styles. We suggest that an interdisciplinary approach can
shed light on the complexity of oral communication in the present
technological environment.
