To this point the book has used the term practice rather loosely to mean something like ‘what people do’. The primary aim in so doing was to shift attention away from the scholarly abstractions of literacy and language onto historically situated uses of script and writing. This chapter and the next aim to give a more precise account of this crucial term. Chapter Four focuses in particular on the use of written instruments in the performance of a rite known as the Caru Rsi Gana. If previous chapters emphasized the disjuncture between two contrasting styles of writing, and their corresponding styles of reasoning, the Caru Rsi Gana suggests an even wider range of purposes, many of which appear to be contradictory.","PeriodicalId":302382,"journal":{"name":"More Than Words","volume":"330 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134234097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In reflecting on writing and its theorization, a range of materials from Bali has been considered. Yet at no point has an account been given of the ‘movement between languages’ on which this line of enquiry has depended. The aim of Chapter Seven is to face the problem squarely, and specify what we are actually doing when we presume to ‘translate’. It is noted that even our most radically detotalizing theorists (e.g., Derrida, Butler) have tended to fall back on a totalizing theory of language and culture when it comes to accounting for translation. To draw out the problematic nature of these assumptions, the chapter presents a pair of ethnographic vignettes in which key terms are caught between rival understandings of human agency and collective life. This sheds new light on the examples from previous chapters.","PeriodicalId":302382,"journal":{"name":"More Than Words","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121846789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
