Abstract

The sociological analysis and interpretation of the perception code and the way culture alters information constitute the corner-stone of our study. If Arabic oral tradition (culture) has built around interaction, rhythm, rituals, etc, written language has relied on verbal expressions that refer to a world of meanings in order to give a structure to temporality within an exchange. Being the reflexion of feelings, a mere line - with the help of vocalization - becomes the instrument that gives life to the original writer's words. Hence the establishment of a real exchange involving past-present experiences. However, the mass-media culture by casting doubt over oral tradition introduces a new dimension of space/time where the experience of time, which is part and parcel of any communicative exchange, simply disappears.
