Abstract

Modern technological conditions make it possible to create, quickly replicate and use audio books conveniently. Audio books are one of the fastest growing segments of the global publishing market. Informative issues of creating audio books, not technological ones, are in the research focus of the article. The content of an audiobook is a voiced text that refers to the “auditory literature”. Assessments of the quality of the auditory literature are polar. On the one hand, it is considered secondary to the original literary text; on the other hand, it is a self-contained artistic phenomenon with its own aesthetic nature. In this article, an audiobook is considered precisely in the aspect of its artistic value, which is highlighted when speaking about the genre nature of the voiced text. The genre features of the voiced text in this study are identified taking into account the communicative features of its formal-stylistic features. The communicative nature of the audiobook genre is associated with two types of reading, which reflect the opposite positions of the two participants in communication. On the one hand, this is an expres-sive reading aloud, which can also be defined as staged reading. Genetically, this type of reading is associated with public performances of artists and initially assumed live reading. Further, this type of reading is transformed into the genre of radio plays, called “theater at the microphone”. In modern communicative practices of creating and repli-cating audio content, including one related to the actor’s readings of works of art, there is no binding to time and place. On the other hand, this is auditory reading, a modifica-tion of which is audio reading in modern technological conditions. If auditory reading is the first reading practice of a child mastering books from the voice of a parent, then audio reading is the choice of an adult who can read. The acoustic representation of a literary work is associated not only with the performance of elementary technical characteristics of sound, but also with the introduction of a certain aesthetic value into it. The creative translation of a literary text from verbal to acoustic should preserve its value in the aesthetic plane, without reducing it to a purely pragmatic one. Actualization of the aesthetic value of an audiobook outside of its paper format is associated with the principles of its directing and editorial preparation – the principles associated with the implementation of the stylistic characteristics of the genre form of an audiobook. Translation of a verbal literary text into an audio one is carried out as a result of comparing reading a book to dramatic action. In this case, the forming element of the genre becomes the sounding text itself. In the case of audio books, the reader’s voice as a performer’s instru-ment and the musical noise accompaniment of the text read is a style-forming genre element. The article traces the publishing strategies for the embodiment of the formal-stylistic features of the audiobook genre in the context of modern audio cultural practices.

现代有声书的体裁与文体特征
现代技术条件使有声图书的创作、快速复制和方便使用成为可能。有声书是全球出版市场中增长最快的部分之一。本文的研究重点是有声书的信息问题,而不是技术问题。有声书的内容是一种有声文本,指的是“听觉文学”。对听觉文献质量的评价是两极的。一方面,它被认为是次于原始文学文本的;另一方面,它又是一种自成一体的艺术现象,具有自身的审美本质。在本文中,有声读物正是从其艺术价值的角度来考虑的,这一点在有声文本的体裁性质中尤为突出。本文结合交际特征和形式文体特征,确定了浊音语篇的体裁特征。有声读物类型的交际性质与两种阅读类型有关,这两种阅读类型反映了两种交流参与者的相反立场。一方面,这是一种表达性朗读,也可以定义为阶段式朗读。从基因上讲,这种类型的阅读与艺术家的公共表演有关,最初被认为是现场阅读。此外,这种类型的阅读被转化为广播剧的类型,被称为“麦克风前的戏剧”。在创造和复制音频内容的现代交际实践中,包括与演员对艺术作品的阅读有关的音频内容,没有时间和地点的约束。另一方面,这是听觉阅读,在现代技术条件下,听觉阅读是听觉阅读的一种修改。如果说听觉阅读是孩子从父母的声音中掌握书籍的第一种阅读练习,那么音频阅读则是会阅读的成年人的选择。文学作品的声学表现不仅与声音的基本技术特征的表现有关,而且与一定的审美价值的引入有关。文学文本从言语到听觉的创造性翻译应保持其在美学层面的价值,而不应将其降低到纯粹的语用层面。有声书在纸质形式之外的美学价值的实现与其指导和编辑准备的原则有关,这些原则与有声书体裁形式的风格特征的实现有关。将口头文学文本翻译成音频文本是将阅读一本书与戏剧动作进行比较的结果。在这种情况下,体裁的形成元素变成了发音文本本身。在有声书中,读者的声音作为表演者的工具,伴随着文本的音乐噪音是一种形成风格的类型元素。本文探讨了在现代有声文化实践背景下,有声书体裁形式文体特征体现的出版策略。
