反思口述一：文化信息的编纂、转码与传播

本书论述古希腊文化中的口头交流机制。考虑到关于口述的批判性辩论，分析一个以口头-听觉为主的古代社会的交际系统意味着重新评估和深刻反思口述在传递给我们的文本中所嵌入的痕迹。特别是，重点是“文化信息”，这是一组信息，由活着的生物垂直和水平地处理和传输，因此不同于基因编码的信息，这是一个文化定义的过程。该调查将不同的方法交织在一起：认知主义、生物学、行为学的方法论，以分析文化信息的相互作用过程，以及历史和文学分析的工具，以突出传统知识中文化信息的发展，以及它们在口头和书面之间的辩证法中的编纂、传播和演变。在一个盛行的口头听觉系统中，文化信息机制的重构模式揭示了一个长期影响欧洲文化的复杂交流系统的阴暗面。
Rethinking Orality I: Codification, transcodification and transmission of cultural messages
The volume deals with the mechanisms of the oral communication in the ancient Greek culture. Considering the critical debate about orality, the analysis of the communicative system in a predominantly oral-aural ancient society implies a reassessment and a deep reconsideration of the traces which orality embedded in the texts transmitted to us. In particular, the focus is on the ‘cultural message’, a set of information which is processed and transmitted vertically as well as horizontally by a living being, so to be differently from a genetically encoded information, a culturally defined process. The survey intertwines different approaches: the methodologies of cognitivism, biology, ethology, to analyze the embrional processes of the cultural messages, and the tools of historical and literary analysis, to highlight the development of the cultural messages in the traditional knowledge, their codification, transmission, and evolutions in the dialectics between orality and writing. The reconstructed pattern of the mechanisms of cultural messages in a prevailing oral-aural system cast a light on a shadowy aspect of a sophisticated communication system that has long influenced European culture.
