Introductory comments marking the occasion of an international conference on orality and literacy, University of Wrocław 2019.12.04–06

Abstract

It is such an honor for me that my friend Karol Zieliński has asked me to say some introductory comments marking the occasion of the splendid conference that he has so valiantly organized at the University of Wrocław. The text of what I am saying has been preserved by way of audio-and-video, that is, by way of a technological pre-recording that can be heard-and-seen at the conference. And this text is also preserved in a one-page handout that I have prepared for those attending. Further, the same text is available online in Classical Inquiries, https://classical-inquiries.chs.harvard.edu, where the posting dated 2019.12.04 is meant to be simultaneous with the audio-and-video pre-recording.
