Vol. 3 No. 6 (2006): The Oral and the Written in a Period of Globalisation - By Parag Moni Sarma

The author deals with the effects of globalisation on the oral and written expressive forms rooted in oral antecedents. He develops a context for retriving and transmitting the oral as a discourse under the regime of globalisation by arguing that technologies can be exploited for preserving the oral traditions and for their dissemination.
