 | | Finally, it would be necessary to succeed in not representing the oral tradition as the only support of our societies, but to show that there were also acquirements and technical innovations very adapted to the field and the needs of humans of that time. | | | The fact that the oral tradition is deeply characterized by the cultural realities and the social values allow it to perfectly play that role. | | | On the same way, one notes that proverbs have their roots in the tradition which observes, explains and interpretes the facts, the rules of the nature, the human behaviours to express the social relations. |

| | Milton H. Erickson and the Art of the Oral Tradition |
| | Many oral traditional behaviors are encouraged: observation of feedback, modeling the client's behavior, becoming immersed in the process, flexibility, timing, etc. These behaviors are encouraged, however, as ways to "gain access" and have control over the therapeutic outcome. | | | Foley explored the ways words become incredibly powerful in the oral tradition with a theory he called "word-power." Word-power is the specific potency of meaning bestowed on a word by its history of use in a tradition and by the way the oral performer expresses it. | | | "the [oral] word is a simultaneous act of mind and body, thought carried on the breath that is the movement of life, the movement of the spirit from the heart-and-lungs to the outside, given form by the mind-controlled vocal cord and tongue."

| | Performance and Performer: The Role of Tradition in Oral Epic Song |
| | Traditions are subject to change: the reforming of old stories, the telling of new ones that may seem much like the old. | | | Beginning with oral traditional epic, I should like to focus on the "performance," at the moment of performing in a traditional setting and with a traditional audience. | | | This means that for generations in a given community or culture people have found a time, a place, and an audience for such a practice. |

| | Oral Tradition - Indian Country Wisconsin |
| | Within oral traditions, a culture hero is a human or superhuman who figures prominently in the traditions of that society and whose life, deeds, and adventures are important to shaping the way things are. | | | A memorate is an account of a personal experience or encounter with the supernatural, such as a ghost story or other expression of the spirit to a human being. | | | For instance, relating the creation myth was an intrinsic part of the Midewiwin or Medicine Lodge rite by which individuals were initiated into a healing religious circle and learned the ways of that medicine society. |

| | Oral recall was far more important in ancient socities, particularly Judaism, than we have commonly allowed for; and the techniques used for memorization by ancient societies as a whole have a remarkable similarity to techniques promulgated by today's "memory improvement" seminars we now pay exorbitant fees to attend. | | | Scholars suggest that by 200 BC there was QUITE a body of 'authoritative' tradition in Israel--which would have represented the 'mainstream' system (including within it, of course, all the minor sub-traditions). | | | And the bottom line, for our purposes: The Jesus Seminar's view on this matter is woefully short of the mark, and the liberal theologians have for the most part yet to deal with this information (with the exception of Kelber and Henaut, whose work we will look at also). |

| | Oral tradition and the Internet |
| | In both cases the central idea is to restore the integrity of the individual oral tradition by (re-)scoring it as the performance it is rather than settling for the reduced and misconfigured text it isn’t. | | | As throughout this blog and the Pathways Project in general, our aim is to probe the uncanny resemblance between oral tradition and the internet, between the oWorld and the eWorld. | | | As much as all oral traditions depend on pathways for their dynamism and expressive force, each also merits its own special roadmap. |

| | African American Culture Through Oral Tradition |
| | Thus, oral tradition gives more emphasis to the rhythm of the language, with repetition and short phrases making the stories easier to understand, and in turn to recall from memory. | | | Another characteristic of oral tradition, and the stories that it contains, is that it is a great conveyor of emotion. | | | Such stories contradict traditional views of a black culture that lacked formal education and a literary tradition. |

| | Oral law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | An oral law is a code of conduct in use in a given culture, religion or other regroupement, by which a body of rules of human behaviour is transmitted by oral tradition and effectively respected, or the single rule that is verbally transmitted. | | | The Kabbalah, which deals with even deeper, esoteric knowledge, is further concealed and has been transmitted to elect individuals, and preserved only by a privileged few. | | | The nigleh deals with the mitzvot and halakha, as outlined; the nistar, on the other hand, discusses esoteric subjects such as creation, prophecy, the world to come, the Messiah, and similar abstruse themes. |

| | Oral Tradition in Th New Testament |
| | There are a number of other examples in the New Testament in which the writer likely draws on oral tradition, but not so clearly in support of any doctrine. | | | One notoriously difficult impediment to such a study is determining which traditions pre-date the New Testament and which are exclusively post-apostolic; such decisions must be left to experts and range well beyond my own abilities. | | | This example is significant because it highlights one of the important functions that Tradition still plays for us. |

| | Herodotus and the North Carolina Oral Narrative Tradition |
| | But the comparison with the Appalachian tradition suggests that songs and verse tags are part of the narrative techniques of the effective storyteller, which Herodotus did not forego. | | | [2] These traditions have been especially useful in establishing principles of oral historical memory and recognizing the importance of genre, purpose, and setting in the transmission of oral history. | | | [83] The comparison with much less sophisticated North Carolina storytellers suggests that this is an oral technique, and that Herodotus, in his oral performances as in his written text, wished his audience to make Solon's wisdom their own, to consider the end, and the nature of the human situation, ta anthropina. |

| | It can be thought of as a collective, serial form of cognitive barter, whereby we inherit the knowledge of those who have it already, and in return, we add what we ourselves know, or at least pass on what we have learned. | | | If short-term memory and interference problems precluded thinking or conversing much faster than we speak, then surely long-term memory and interference problems (not to mention the immediate practical demands for which the oral tradition originally evolved) preclude thinking or conversing much slower than we speak. | | | (The scholarly practise of learned footnoting, and the literary/rhetorical practise of presenting ideas in the form of dialogue or dialectic, are both early harbingers of the potential power of quote/commenting, and its rootedness in the oral tradition and near-synchronous mental interaction. |

| | An African Philosophy of History in the Oral Tradition |
| | In our view of philosophy as the raising of questions and ideas for consideration, the problems associated with the use of the proverb do not make the texts invalid, since they stimulate thought, comments, and arguments on the oral tradition. | | | On the other hand, we note the case of the Dogon sage, Ogotemeli, as an instance of an 'explicit" philosophy in the oral tradition. | | | These examples provide encouragement for an inquiry into the possibilities of an African philosophy of history in the oral tradition. |

| | from jesus to christ: the story of the storytellers: importance of the oral tradition |
| | The fact that we're dealing in oral medium of story telling is very important to the development of the tradition itself because stories tend to be told in some units that can be passed along easily, easily remembered. | | | In the development of the oral tradition then, it seems that over time some of these stories came to be written down, and the use of these summary statements about the contents of the story of Jesus are what came to be thought of as the gospel, the good news, the story of Jesus. | | | But we can see that they're based on some smaller units of oral tradition that had been circulating for many years before. |
