The 50th review 43th BOOK "Swamp Vignette"

This book is very good, this book has an amazing story that can interest the reader. And I have read this book more than once. You should read this book! By Rifaldi Fauzan

Swamp Vignette is a floating piece, quite appropriately following ancient poets’ paths of wandering. Swamp Vignette is floating a bit further ahead, outside of the current literary consumer world, where a book is “a written text that can be published in printed or electronic form.”^[1] This vignette is a story, and any story told is a potential book, piece of literature, but The Symbolic Order refuses to let Swamp Vignette be reduced into written text.

Stories, epics, poetry reading were originally an oral-aural experience. The shift to book form estranged the auditory reading experience; reading has become a visual, retinal-centric, silent, individual activity, whereas the ancient poets, the story tellers of old, often accompanied by music for atmospheric effect, told the stories. The listeners processed the story through their aural-sensory, their eyes stop seeing the outer physical world (retinal-centric reading does not let readers close their eyes,) and their minds submerged into the stories, began to construct their realities of the stories from what they knew, from what they heard, from what they imagined, from what they speculated.

It is that oral-aural experience of reading that The Symbolic Order with Swamp Vignette brings in today’s retinal-centered reading scenarios. The Symbolic Order writes:

These are not really songs, the three pieces together are a vignette, with the sounds being intended to create appropriate atmospheres.
