- W2313102388 abstract "Quoting is a ubiquitous human activity, and quotations are among the most common human artefacts. The anthropologist Ruth Finnegan's study, Why Do We Quote?, testifies to the sheer diversity of motives people have had and still have for quoting, and to the surprising variety of forms that quotations take and have taken, throughout history and across cultures. As she writes in the conclusion to her study: ‘The interplay of overlapping voices and viewpoints that we work with – more, or less, differentiated, more, or less, explicit, more, or less, brightly coloured – is a perpetual rather than secondary dimension of human living’. She explains that the book is structured so as to move from ‘the familiar to the unfamiliar and back’ and ‘to go backwards from the present to the past rather than the other way around, and outwards from the nearby to the further-off’. She means ‘nearby’ in time and geography, since the book's first section, ‘Setting the Present Scene’, and in particular its second and third chapters, are devoted to a summary of the results of the Mass Observation Survey by the University of Sussex, collected over ‘many years’, along with results from ‘a large-scale Oxford University Press online survey in 2006’ and informally collected data. The participants in these surveys, and the sources of the informally collected data, were therefore British and predominantly from south-east England. They were asked about their attitudes towards and practices of quoting: when they quoted, what they quoted, how they felt about quoting, and why they quoted. In presenting the results, Finnegan quotes generously from the anonymous participants, allowing their characters and living voices to emerge as they reflect upon their practices. Some of their statements are idiosyncratic, some amusing, and others touching; the community of respondents comes alive more than might be expected." @default.
