Abstract

This Keynote address from the 23rd annual convention of the Media Ecology Association in Rio de Janeiro marked the presentation of The Walter J. Ong Award for Career Achievement in Scholarship. The address explores how Ong approached his own scholarship and how that scholarship offers a method for media ecology research. Rather than to propose a system, Ong instead suggests a method to find one’s way through problems of communication and knowledge.
