Language as Hermeneutic - A Primer on the Word and Digitization

Summary

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 After his death, his archives were found to contain unpublished drafts of a final book manuscript that Ong envisioned as a distillation of his life’s work.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on the reconstruction of Ong’s work and its significance within Ong’s intellectual project, as well as a previously unpublished article by Ong, "Time, Digitization, and Dalí's Memory," which further explores language’s role in preserving and enhancing our humanity in the digital age.

    Do You Dream of Retiring and Making a Living As a Writer? Learn How! 
    Do you dream of one day retiring and spending the rest of your days sitting on your couch and watching TV? Maybe! But if you do, then you probably are not reading this description! Most people, even in retirement, want to have a job. We may not call it a job, or even think about it as a job--but we want to do something. 
    For many people, that job is writing that great story they’ve had in their head for years. While these people typically dream of making a good income out of it, most never do. It’s not because their book was no good. It’s because they never took the time to understand how to do it right. They spent months--years even--working on something they cared deeply for, but only a few hours maximum thinking about how they would get people to read it. 
    The goal of this book isn’t to tell you how to write your story. There are plenty of books on that. The goal of this book is to help you with that next step in the journey: publishing it. And by publishing it, I don’t mean helping you find a publisher or agent who will do the heavy lifting for you--I mean helping you do it yourself through self-publishing and bring home the income most writers only dream of! 
    It’s going to show you the strategies used by thousands of writers (myself included) to turn their passion for storytelling into something that’s more than a hobby--something that has an actual livable income that comes with it. 
    Are you ready to start your retirement career? Let’s go! 
    Note: this audiobook is based of "The Six Figure Writer"; it has an expanded section covering formatting and publishing.

    There are only, in my humble opinion, two kinds of readers: Readers who love your books and readers who don’t know they love your books yet. But how do you reach those readers in the second category, no matter what kind of writer you are? 
    The answer to that question is…Universal Fantasy 
    Universal Fantasy is why my sales tripled when I “accidentally” wrote three books that landed in the Amazon Top 100. 
    Universal Fantasy is why some authors get gobs of gushing reviews and some authors who write “way better” get crickets. 
    Universal Fantasy is the answer to many of the questions you might have thought were unanswerable or simply up to luck, like… 
    • Will this sell? 
    • Why is that selling? 
    • Why didn’t this sell? 
    • Will readers like what I am writing? 
    • Why do I love the TV shows/books/entertainments I do? 
    • Why did I buy that thing I bought when I didn’t intend to buy it? 
    BE WARNED…once known, Universal Fantasy cannot be undiscovered. Leave this book be if you’re truly satisfied with your current writing life. 
    But if you’re not afraid—if you’re ready to know the secret hidden inside all bestselling stories, open this gift and find out how to use UNIVERSAL FANTASY to write and market books that SELL to ANYONE
