Описание:
Language in all its modes—oral, written, print, electronic—claims the central role in Walter J. Ong’s acclaimed speculations on human culture. After his death, his archives were found to contain unpublished drafts of a final book manuscript that Ong envisioned as a distillation of his life’s work. This first publication of Language as Hermeneutic, reconstructed from Ong’s various drafts by Thomas D. Zlatic and Sara van den Berg, is more than a summation of his thinking. It develops new arguments around issues of cognition, interpretation, and language. Digitization, he writes, is inherent in all forms of "writing," from its early beginnings in clay tablets. As digitization increases in print and now electronic culture, there is a corresponding need to counter the fractioning of digitization with the unitive attempts of hermeneutics, particularly hermeneutics that are modeled on oral rather than written paradigms.
In addition to the edited text of Language as Hermeneutic, this volume includes essays on the reconstruction of Ong’s work and its significance within Ong’s intellectual project, as well as a previously unpublished article by Ong, "Time, Digitization, and Dal?'s Memory," which further explores language’s role in preserving and enhancing our humanity in the digital age.

Описание: Young readers will soon be echoing the little blue engine's trademark "I think I can!" as they take their first steps on the road to independent reading with this reissue, featuring simple words, rebus pictures, and 24 skill-building flash cards.
Drawing on a wide range of disciplines—linguistics, phenomenological analysis, cultural anthropology, media studies, and intellectual history—Walter J. Ong offers a reasoned and sophisticated view of human consciousness different in many respects from that of structuralism. The essays in Interfaces of the Word are grouped around the dialectically related themes of change or alienation and growth or integration. Among the subjects Ong covers are the origins of speech in mother tongues; the rise and final erosion of nonvernacular learned languages; and the fictionalizing of audiences that is enforced by writing. Other essays treat the idiom of African talking drums, the ways new media interface with the old, and the various connections between specific literary forms and shifts in media that register in the work of Shakespeare and Milton and in movements such as the New Criticism. Ong also discusses the paradoxically nonliterary character of the Bible and the concerted blurring of fiction and actuality that marked much drama and narrative toward the close of the twentieth century.

Описание:
How many of us would willingly forsake a long-held belief for the sake of love? What kind of risks are we capable of undertaking in pursuit of a meaningful connection? At what point do our feelings about the nations, systems, and people we interact with need to be held in high importance?
In Daughter of Palestine, author Victor Yong Jen Ong answers these questions and more in this novel full of history, international politics, cultural divide, romance, manipulation, and deception.
At a seminar in Malaysia, a Chinese man and a Palestinian woman meet who will affect each other's lives in significant and unexpected ways. Gabriel, an important director with Interamerica, and Yasmin, a researcher with the West Pacific Institute, each harbor distinct and opposing ideas about the world. But when a relationship begins to form between them, later involving their families and influenced by current affairs, it may prove to have disastrous consequences for all involved.
Inspired by the author's own observations about troubling global attitudes, specifically regarding the United States, this book explores far-reaching themes on an intimate and personal scale.
Victor Jen is Malaysian and descendant of a six-hundred year-old overseas Chinese community. Critical of the Communist Democratic movement, Jen leads young adults in international bridging endeavors, camps and expeditions and serves in political advocacy for right-of-center coalitions in Malaysia. He qualified in global affairs and international security at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA and corporate governance at the Federation University in Australia.

Описание:
The official banking institutions for rural China are Rural Credit Cooperatives (RCCs). Although these co-ops are mandated to support agricultural development among farm households, since 1980 half of RCC loans have gone to small and medium-sized industrial enterprises located in, and managed by, townships and villages. These township and village enterprises have experienced highly uneven levels of success, and by the end of the 1990s, half of all RCC loans were in or close to default, forcing China’s central bank to bail out RCCs. In Prosper or Perish, Lynette H. Ong examines the bias in RCC lending patterns, focusing on why the mobilization of rural savings has contributed to successful industrial development in some locales but not in others.
Interweaving insightful and theoretically informed discussions of rural credit, development, governance, and bank bailouts, Ong identifies various sources for China’s uneven development. In the highly decentralized fiscal environment of the People’s Republic, successful industrialization has significant implications for rural governance. Local governments depend on revenue from industrial output to provide public goods and services; unsuccessful enterprises starve local governments of revenue and result in radical cutbacks in services. High peasant burdens, land takings without adequate compensation by local governments, and other poor governance practices tend to be associated with unsuccessful industrialization. In light of the recent liberalization of the rural credit sector in China, Prosper or Perish makes a significant contribution to debates within political science, economic development, and international banking.

This stunning collection of over 50 floral buttercream cake decorating projects is brought to you by the world`s leading instructors of buttercream techniques, Queen of Hearts Couture Cakes, bestselling authors of The Contemporary Buttercream Bible.
This collection of essays by Walter J. Ong focuses on the complex and dynamic relationship between verbal performance and cultural evolution. By studying the history of rhetoric and related arts from classical antiquity through the age of romanticism to the modern period, Ong both illuminates the past and helps explain late-twentieth-century modes of expression.
Elegantly written and wide ranging, Rhetoric, Romance, and Technology traces the evolution of devices used to store, retrieve, and communicate knowledge. Ong discusses diverse topics including memory as art, associationist critical theory, the close relationship between romanticism and technology, and the popular culture of the 1970s. This book also contains essays about Tudor writings in English on rhetoric and literary theory, the study of Latin as a Renaissance puberty rite, Ramism in the classroom and in commerce, Jonathan Swift's notion of the mind, and John Stuart Mill's politics.
