朗读:文化研究视域下的现代声音书写

Reading: Modern Sound Writing in the Perspective of Cultural Studies

朗读是一种有意识、有目的的有声语言表达活动,它应被纳入听觉文化的范畴,加入"聆察""音景"等研究视角,从微观、中观拓宽到社会文化的宏观维度。在中央电视台《朗读者》节目中,特别创意设置的"朗读亭",可视为现代都市的声觉空间,它为朗读的时空传播提供了新的场域,值得推广。此外,在对"朗读"这一音声行为进行考察时,文章加入朗读主体的"身体"维度。因为言说的身体是传情、达意、言志、聆察、共鸣的物质基础和媒介,信息传递、情感表达乃至精神信仰层面的认同都需要身体作为载体。这一媒介在普通百姓的日常生活和从视觉文化到听觉文化的转向中扮演着重要角色。朗读这一听觉文化形式不应被视为视觉的附加文本,也不应被看作文字阅读的一种锦上添花式的补充方式,而应该有其独立的地位。朗读时,由于调动了口、耳、鼻、舌、心、眼等多个感觉器官,朗读者选择的文字又往往是自己喜欢甚至自创的内容,因而声情并茂的声音书写便很容易唤醒书写者久违的情感体验。书写行为可以为罹患"空心病"的现代都市人增添一些感性体验的维度。笔者认为,朗读的蓬勃兴起可以"反哺"全民阅读,对文化强国建设和民族文化传承起到不可替代的作用。

Reading is a kind of conscious and purposeful verbal language expression activity. It should be included in the scope of auditory culture, and could join the research perspectives of ＂speaking＂ and ＂soundscape＂. And the researches are assumed to be conducted at three dimensions： microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic. For example, the ＂Reading Pavilion＂ of CCTV＇s program ＂Readers＂ can be regarded as a creative setting, the sound space of modern city. It provides a new field for sound behavior of ＂reading the communication of reading, which is worth promoting. In addition, when examining the aloud＂, this article adds the ＂body＂ dimension to the subject who is doing the reading aloud. Because human body, which acts as a carrier of information transmission and emotional and spiritual identification is the material basis and medium for conveying emotions exchanging ideas, exploring truth, and building empathy This medium plays an important role in the daffy life of ordinary people and in the shift from visual culture to auditory culture. Reading from the angle of auditory culture should not be regarded as a visual additional text, nor should it be seen as the icing on the cake, but should have its own independent status. When reading aloud, assuming that texts selected by readers are often something they like or even something they have created, it is easy to arose readers＇ long-lost emotional experience through the movement of mouth, ears, nose, tongue, heart, eyes and other sensory organs. Writing behavior can add emotional experience to the modern urbarfite who suffers from ＂hollow disease＂. The author believes that the vigorous rise of reading can encourage more and more people take their time to read and play an irreplaceable role in the inheritance of national culture as well as the construction of China as a culture power.
