Annotating Narrative Levels
“Let me tell you a story.” The proposed guidelines suggest that this phrase serve as the heuristic that readers supply at the beginning of any possible embedded narrative to identify a shift in narrative frames or levels. (The difference between “frame” and “level,” although perhaps confusing in the history of narratology, does not seem like an important distinction at this stage of the project.) This simple phrase, the author suggests, can repla…

This article approaches the sonic turn as a coherent set of methodological approaches across a variety of disciplines that begin with the publication of Emily Thompson’s The Soundscape of Modernity (2002) and Jonathan Sterne’s The Audible Past (2003), and provide an alternative to the Saussurean edict to ignore the semiotic qualities of material sound. These texts and those published in their wake proceed with an emphasis on the detail of sound a…
