Table des matières

Lorsqu’il s’agit de textes religieux, l’interrelation entre l’oral et l’écrit doit être clairement articulée (voir aussi Orality and Translation). L’oral et l’écrit ne peuvent être absolument séparés, ni chronologiquement ni en termes d’importance, comme cela a été fait, par exemple, dans la théorie orale de Milman Parry (1902–1935) et Albert B. Lord (1912–1991), qui prônait une dichotomie absolue et universelle entre les cultures orales et les cultures lettrées. De Vries (2012: 68–98) décrit les cultures orales comme impliquées dans une interface oral-écrit avec des caractéristiques localement déterminées ; ces caractéristiques peuvent varier selon le temps, le lieu ou le genre au sein d’une même culture. De plus, l’oral et l’écrit co-évoluent à travers de nombreux points de contact (De Vries 2012: 74–75). En ce qui concerne l’ancien Proche-Orient, Walton et Sandy (2013: 18) opposent les cultures à dominance auditive, où les traditions étaient principalement transmises par le bouche-à-oreille, aux cultures dominées par l’écrit, où les traditions étaient principalement transmises par des textes. Dans les sociétés à domination auditive, les traditions culturelles étaient intériorisées tandis que les textes étaient rédigés pour les archives et bibliothèques afin de servir de points de référence pour la mémorisation et la récitation de la tradition (Walton & Sandy 2013: 21). La diffusion du savoir se fait généralement oralement, bien qu’elle soit préservée dans des documents écrits pour archiver les traditions.
