The Origin, Discourse Innovation and Paradigm Shift of the Study of Auditory Narratology

(Abstract)

 

Fu Xiuyan

 

Auditory narratology refers to the expression and writing related to auditory perception in narrative works. No matter how many new means for storytelling appears in media reform, they have not, in essence, escaped the imitation from oral narrative. People are getting dull surrounding by increasingly noises. Few aural events are clever used in today’s narratives and critics seem numb to this shrinkage or regression, resulting in the awkwardness in expression. It is necessary to realize discourse tools’ innovation, introducing concepts and terms closely related to hearing, such as auscultation and soundscape, into the field of narratology.
