Spoken Word and the Work of Interpretation

Dennis Tedlock presents startling new methods for transcribing, translating, and interpreting oral performance that carry wide implications for all areas of the spoken arts. Moreover, he reveals how the categories and concepts of poetics and hermeneutics based in Western literary traditions cannot be carried over in their entirety to the spoken arts of other cultures but require extensive reevaluation.Tedlock, Dennis is the author of 'Spoken Word and the Work of Interpretation', published 1983 under ISBN 9780812211436 and ISBN 081221143X.
