Writing is a form of magic and a memory device for orality. It takes the tones of a language and fixes it to the page where it can be read for generation to come. [[Wilk, Elvia (2022) Death By Landscape]] Oral cultures allowed for information to flow in and out of consciousness. Literacy requires meeting the text and concentrating on its meaning or meanings. It changes the way we relate to one another and requires the concept of boundaries. With the concept of boundaries forms, threats can be established. Then the very idea itself becomes the realm of accepted or guarded, copyrighted, owned, hidden, or caged. See: [[Western Literary Forms]] and the bounded ideas of love. ## Sources: -
