 Walter J. Ong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ong's most important work is Ramus, Method, and the Decay of Dialogue: From the Art of Discourse to the Art of Reason (1958), which is a pioneering work not only in the field known today as print culture but also in the field known today as cultural studies.
Ong's second most important work is The Presence of the Word: Some Prolegomena for Cultural and Religious History (1967), the expanded version of his 1964 Terry Lectures at Yale University, which is also pioneering work both in the field known today as cultural studies and in the field known today as media ecology.
Ong's account of visualist tendencies suggests that personalized ego consciousness is somewhat distanced from the archetypal level of the human psyche through visualist cultural conditioning and the development of a greater sense of inwardness.

 Review of Ong's Orality
Ong devotes the first three chapters of seven to "th ought and its verbal expression in oral culture" something which he admits is likely to seem "strange and at times bizarre" since we are so immersed in our own literate culture (1).
Ong explains that this would be especially important to those trying to memorize a poem or a tale because, whereas people from a liter ate society can always refer back to a written text, those from an oral society must be able to process and memorize bits of spoken, otherwise irretrievable information quickly.
Ong ends this chapter by discussing two major developments in the West which beautifully illustrate the constant interaction of writing and orality, the development of the complex art of rhetoric and of learned Latin.

 NPR : Han Ong: Writing of the Philippines from a Distance
Han Ong's 'The Disinherited' is a tale of a middle-aged writing professor who reluctantly revisits the Philippines for his father's funeral.
In 1997, Ong -- a high-school dropout -- was one of the youngest recipients of a MacArthur grant, an award that provides artists, scientists, activists and entrepreneurs financial backing to pursue work in their field.
Ong used the money to try his hand at writing novels, but the very idea of a financial windfall -- and what to do with it -- propels the plot of The Disinherited.

Ong" to associates, employees, all but a small circle of friends, is a perfect five-foot-seven-inch size eight.
Ong's properties to date include The Halkin, a sleek minimalist hotel that opened in London's Belgravia in 1991; the similarly chic Metropolitan in Mayfair, which upon its opening in 1997 immediately became one of the biggest sensations of "Cool Britannia"; and the paradisiacal Parrot Cay resort, on a 1,000-acre island in the British West Indies.
Ong has sold five plots on the island to homeowners in a manner reminiscent of what Colin Tenant did on Mustique in the 1970s.

 Remembering Walter Ong   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Walter Ong's influence on the study of medieval literacy has been far more important than the references to his works in the medievalists' publications on the subject might suggest.
Because the momentous changes that Ong and others had claimed for the introduction of writing and the alphabet had taken place already in Antiquity, his work was more often than not used at one remove, through the scholarship he had inspired directly.

 thanks for not being a zombie: walter ong (1912-2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
It would be almost impossible to exaggerate Ong's influence on the study of print culture and of orality and literacy.
I first encountered Ong in a grad school seminar, where Orality and Literacy was an assigned text, and I still return to this book when I need a clearly written reminder of the some of the most important issues I'm working through in my own thinking.
Ong's work has not gone unchallenged, of course, and I don't agree with all of his assertions.

Take your pick: free love in hyperspace or the infernally dark scenarios described by Phoenix survivors, who testify that the specific 'race frequencies' of eight year old, blond, Aryan Montauk Boys, psychotronically zapped into pre-orgastic arousal for hours on end were required for the creation of Nazi 'time tunnels'.
In a precursor to the Branch Davidian massacre, the Ong's Hat commune was burned down to the ground.
A recent offshoot hacker organization called the Neo-Travelers Front for a New Ong's Hat (NTF-NOH) uses the battle cry, "Avenge the Ong's Hat Seven!" Evidently, the commune's survivors still maintain a loose organization dedicated to research but they no longer have a centralized base of operations--all the better to avoid further massacres.

(Reprinted in Ong's Faith and Contexts (Scholars Press, 1999; 4: 69-91.) One influential figure in the rebirth of interest in classical rhetoric was Erasmus (c.1466-1536).
Instead, invention and disposition were determined to fall exclusively under the heading of dialectic, while language, delivery, and memory were all that remained for rhetoric.
