“Words Are Events” — Ong, S. J.

Filed under: General — m759 @ 10:59 am

Lest the title of the TV series in the previous post, "The Chi,"
be mistaken for a reference to the Greek letter  chi

"Words are events, happenings, not things,
as letters make them appear to be."
— Walter J. Ong, S.J., page 2 in 
"Writing and the Evolution of Consciousness,"
in Mosaic: An Interdisciplinary Critical Journal ,
Vol. 18, No. 1 (Winter 1985), pp. 1-10 (11 pages,
counting the prefatory page with a photo of Ong).

". . . originally delivered by Walter J. Ong
as the 7th Annual 'Sidney Warhaft Memorial Lecture',
January 26, 1984, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg."
