History of the Storytelling in the Oral Tradition Trying to understand the transition from orality to literacy. No structural importance for the Church. Media plays an instrumental role in communication. Meaning is in the message, not media. The book Catechism is a reflection of this.
Electronic culture is the enemy.
Homes, tribal gatherings. Parents required to tell stories, the gate was the place for passing on stories. Told by storytellers, singers. Recited from memory, no books. For every generation, stories were one generation from disappearing.
