The study contemplates how the ?psychodynamics? of orality might radically affect artistic expression, resulting in a range of visual traits which in many ways reflect the unique modes of speech within primary oral societies. Looking to the art of a diverse range of cultures and time periods ? including Archaic Greek art, medieval art, African tribal art, child art, Outsider art and Modern art ? The Art of Orality considers what new insights can be gleaned by bringing these styles into dialogue with orality and literacy studies.
