Description
Summary:The audiobook, located at the disciplinary interface of literature, media, theatre, language, speech and book studies, is still largely unexplored in France. Based on (neuro-)psychological aesthetics and narratological controversies over the concept of voice, using theoretical considerations and audio-versions of Kafka’s The Trial and Cervantes’s Don Quijote by Buhlert, Paetsch, Cassel, Hochmair et al., the article examines how naturalization processes are involved in making the perception of audiobook versions of literary narrative texts a sensual-gestural experience of narrativity. Naturalization processes promote an anthropomorphic unison perception of the narrative voice, despite the fact that narrative voice is always polyphonic in the audio book. In the case of disruptions of automated perception through the dissonant clash of naturalized genre expectations and listening patterns, however, they also trigger the search for subjectively experienced coherence in listening, thus allowing alternative constructions of narrativity to become active in listening. This change of perception provides an aesthetic experience.
