Audioantropologia odgłosu wobec somatopoetyki

ADAM REGIEWICZ Jan Długosz University, Częstochowa ORCID: 0000-0003-1367-7697 NOISE AUDIOANTHROPOLOGY AGAINST SOMATOPOETICS Studies in anthropology of sounds is conveniently situated between the main sound narration produced by culture and anthropological experiences of a man: her/his biology, physiology, and mechanics. A sound, as a manifestation of behaviour―a sound event, becomes a part of a particular stream of behaviour and social activities all of which reflect a variety of cultural forms focused around diverse aspects of experiencing reality by a man and her/his relationship with the surrounding world expressed through behaviour patterns, habits and customs, traditions and rituals, reflected by social norms and standards, related to experiencing corporality (intimacy, sexuality, hygiene, illness, death, etc.), emotions, sensuality, etc. Sound corporality immersed in the text, on the one hand, is a part of the research perspective of somatopoetics and, on the other hand, it reaches for tools derived from the study of musicality of literature. As based on the example of solutions of contemporary Polish prose, the article tries to show how sound, as a strictly somatic experience, becomes a carrier of cultural meanings, an element of the code: not so much a sound, but a semantic gesture interpreting various phenomena existing in a given culture. 51 Ł e b k o w s k a, op. cit., s. 13.
