The study contemplates how the ‘psychodynamics’ of orality might radically affect artistic expression, resulting in a range of visual traits which in many ways reflect the unique modes of speech within primary oral societies. Looking to the art of a diverse range of cultures and time periods – including Archaic Greek art, medieval art, African tribal art, child art, Outsider art and Modern art – \u003cem\u003eThe Art of Orality\u003c\/em\u003e considers what new insights can be gleaned by bringing these styles into dialogue with orality and literacy studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2025-03-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031854309\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-85431-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 237\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45386906960012,"sku":"9783031854309","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031854309.jpg?v=1776097204","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031854309","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
