The Art of Communicating

All societies have engaged in formalized types of communication through telling stories about their histories, whether it is an oral saga of a dynastic family or an annual ritual such as Greek tragedy. With the advent of writing, the oral tradition was transcribed and became less permeable. As certain alphabets became dominant, many minority languages were lost, along with their literary corpora. This four-part series examines language, writing, modern myths, and comedy in their historical contexts, from the ancient world to contemporary culture. 4-part series, 53 minutes each.
