I confess that I have been on the boat (in The Office) and have not
followed this whole strand -- so it may be that I am (as usual) a day late
and a dollar short. But, if the question is the applicability of OS in
Non-literate situations (is that what an Oral Culture is?) -- it is
probably worth while noticing that this is where it all began. Every time I
have the pleasure of working with such a group I feel very much that I am
carrying coals to New Castle. It is already there in spades. As for
reports, The Talking Drum does fine as does the Village Story Teller. I
guess it is we who are making the modifications.
