| description | The phrase "oral literature" is most often used to indicate the forms of
expression to be found either in societies without writing or in parallel with
a great tradition of written literature. In both cases a comparison, indeed an
opposition, seems to be implied, at the base of which really lies a particular
concept of written literature. This concept is very much at risk of being
unconsciously influenced by features which belong only to the written
literature of certain "great civilisations," in particular modern Western
civilisation. It therefore seems necessary first to look briefly at these
features before tackling the case of the Bugis where oral expression coexists
with written expression; this written expression is important, but has notably
distinct characteristics. |
