Remapping the literary canon through listening practices means giving the aural dimension of poetry, prose, or simply language a fascinating chance to match the wonders of visual representation. Fiction and storytelling are actually strongly rooted in the universe of sounds and they often involve something very similar to acousmatics, sound design, soundmarks, and sound icons. Indeed, every text is a soundscape, whether the sounds it contains be realistic, symbolic, or imaginary. The soundscape thus becomes a fertile multifaceted area of intersection between disciplines, since it connects the present and the past, personal experiences and collective drama in times of radical change.

Abstract
Remapping the literary canon through listening practices means giving the aural dimension of poetry, prose, or simply language a fascinating chance to match the wonders of visual representation. Fiction and storytelling are actually strongly rooted in the universe of sounds and they often involve something very similar to acousmatics, sound design, soundmarks, and sound icons. Indeed, every text is a soundscape, whether the sounds it contains be realistic, symbolic, or imaginary. The soundscape thus becomes a fertile multifaceted area of intersection between disciplines, since it connects the present and the past, personal experiences and collective drama in times of radical change.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
