Summary/Abstract: For more than two millennia, writing and orality have formed one of the most pervasively and obsessively addressed pair of both concepts and realities. The present study traces the critical approaches to these two aspects that define us as human being and underline our cultural emancipation. It discusses the various ways in which orality and writing were critiqued first and foremost by Plato and focuses then on the scholarly contributions made by Joly, Derrida and Ong. Several outstanding Romanian researchers, such as Adrian Marino, Matei Calinescu, and Andrei Cornea, are also discussed in view of their essential and most pertinent detailing of the two cultural issues and vistas. The study endeavors an examination of writing and orality features present in The Book of Amos.
