Test Info: A Recap.
So we went over the test today... what would be on it, And for my benefit (yours as well) I'm typing out a recap. Enjoy!
Info from Kane (for the record, Kane is my favorite so far):
1) Moonbones (Illustrate's repetition)
2) Property and it's effect on an oral culture
3) Agriculture's effect on the human connection to the land (and consequently it's conection to orality)
4)Practicality of orality (Red sky at night, sailors take delight; Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning)
5)White berries (don't eat them!)
6) Caribou and frogs (frog as the guardian of the river, caribou returning to the spirit world.)
7)Kane's definition of Myth: The song the earth sings to itself. We just happen to hear every now and then.
Info from Ong:
1) Primary Orality: An oral culture uses only oral comunication (thought: American indian cultures had smoke signals, but are commonly thought of as primarily oral)
2) Secondary orality: A mostly oral culture heavily influenced by written language (welcome to everything as we know it)
3) Chirographic- Writing culture (pre- printing press)
4) Typographic- Typing culture (Hello modern era: Post printing press)
----Parataxis- clauses joined without conjunction
----Bicameralism- Decisions made with both the mind and the soul
5)Vision vs. sound (check out p. 72)
6) Platos Denounciation of written language (p. 79 in Ong and p. 38 in Yates)
Info from Dame Yates:
1) The story of Simonedes tells the importance of memory (remember the banquet catastrophy) 2)Rhetoric> Ethics> Cosmos (Cronological view of memory. Check out p. 38-39)
3)The story of Augustin (p. 48) Knowledge of the devine.
Our contribution (well, YOUR contribution. I wanted to talk about agriculture bu it was covered):
1) Seven liberal arts (GGRAMAD) Gramar, Geometry, Rhetoric, Arithmatic, Music, astronomy, and dialect.
2) Neoplatonism = Mysticism
3) John Nay's B-day!!!
4) Anamnesis: The recolection of EVERYTHING
5)Bruno was burned february 17, 1600 (dates... not my forte)
7)The 9 muses and Ong's 9 properties of orality (Erato turns up the heat)
8) Bicameralism (look it up in Ong)
9)Esoteric: Secrets from the unwashed masses!
10) Imagination= 1 hour photo for memory.
11)Remember Shahar Azad (Spelling?) of 1001 nights
12)The distinction between natural and artificial memory.
13) Collective Vs. Personal unconsiouse.
14)Plato: Writing establishes outside of the mind that which should remain in the mind. (Plato was paranoid)
15)Green Blood... Nuf' said.
16)Kevin's three topics of interest concerning memory ARE: Memory, imagination and soul
17) The three epthets given by Ong: Sturdy Oak, Beautiful Princess, Brave Soldier (our own are Keen Kenning Ben and Kate of the Beautiful Eyes)
Jeeze! it's late!!!

Skiing and Memory
I just had a thought while I was sitting here listening to Dave Matthews and I thought I would share it (since you're all dieing tho hear).
I was a ski racer for six years through middle school and high school and the sport contains more memory involved than I gave much thought to for that entire time. What could we possibly have to remember? Well we had to remember to bring out skis, boots, poles... I'm just kidding.
Actually, before every run the racers spend time inspecting the course, that is memorizing it. We were responsible for memorizing every nook and cranny of the run so we would have fewer surprises during our run. This would beg the dedication of three to five runs in which we stop at every gate to inspect and memorize the pitch, fall line, distance between gates etc.
This was especially important in slalom races (short, tight turns down a steep pitch). We were accountable for every gate, which we numbered one through the last. We kept them in mind and counted them as we made the run, not because the number of the gate was particularly important, but the terrain around that gate or the coarse feature was.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-7-8 are a hairpin, 9, 10,11,12, 13 and 14 are a corridor leading into a roller, 15 leads into a significant change in pitch, steeper so we crank on the edges more... 16, 17, 18... and so on.
We reach the bottom out of breath and with the numbers echoing through our heads, only now instead of just features we remember our own performance at each gate... Its our very own "memory trail".
