The Edge of Reading Tag, rambling about language and the brain Remembered Reads 2023-06-13 | I repeatedly refer to posterior cortical atrophy as "post-cortical aphasia" in this video. Maybe I should start scripting instead of just babbling. Sorry about that!This tag was created by @materiagrix and I was tagged by @BookishTexan Tagging: @AnnNovella and @Rainierbooks The prompts:-Give me your own definition of reading or use this: "Reading is the act of interpretation of symbols that systematically put together in a certain sequence, allow the reader to extract meaning from them in an active form of creation that can develop into complex narratives." -Given your chosen definition, are reading and interpretation the same thing? If not, In what do they differ? -Are there any practices that you consider reading but that would fit that or other definitions of reading? -Is there an ideal reading experience for you? What is it? Is there a book that represents it? -If there is such thing as an ideal reading experience, it follows that there is a scale of value to reading. What is at the bottom? -Is there a book on that bottom that you love or enjoyed as much as those on the top? -Is reading as the art of associating symbols and creating meaning out of them, a predecessor of language, or does it come after as a consequence of those languages? -Is everything that can be read/with meaning a language? -Mention a few languages that defy the conventional conception of what a language is. Could a book be written in any of those languages? -If you could boundlessly read/understand the meaning in one of those languages. Which one would it be? Why?[CC] available.Find me here:Instagram - instagram.com/rememberedreadsGoodReads - goodreads.com/user/show/251821StoryGraph - app.thestorygraph.com/profile/remembered_reads
