Paul Ricoeur on Media - Dictionary of Arguments
II 26 Media/writing/text/Ricoeur: The most obvious change from speaking to writing concerns the relation between the message and its medium or channel. At first glance, it concerns only this relation, but upon closer examination, the first alteration irradiates in every direction, affecting in a decisive manner all the factors and functions. It is because discourse only exists in a temporal and present instance of discourse that it may flee as speech or be fixed as writing. Because the event appears and disappears, there is a problem of fixation, of inscription. What we want to fix is discourse, not language as II 27 langue. >Discourse/Ricoeur, >Langue/Ricoeur, >Dialogque/Ricoeur. Fixation: It is only by extension that we fix by inscription the alphabet, the lexicon, and the grammar, all of which serve that which alone is to be fixed: discourse. The atemporal system of language neither appears or disappears, it simply does not happen. Only discourse is to be fixed, because discourse as event disappears. Inscription: What we write, what we inscribe is the noema of the act of speaking, the meaning of the speech event, not the event as event. >Writing/Ricoeur. Literature: [When] is human thought directly brought to writing without the intermediary'stage of spoken language[,] [t]hen writing takes the place of speaking. A kind of short-cut occurs between the meaning of discourse and the material medium. II 29 The best way to measure the extent of this substitution is to look at the range of changes which occur among the other components of the communication process. >Literature/Ricoeur._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
