Abstract

This article investigates sound practices in home video. Home video manuals and magazines recommended specific strategies for dealing with sound, often with the goal of gaining control over the openness and unpredictability of the situation being filmed. The subject of home video discourse (addressed in handbooks primarily as white, male, and the father of a family) was ideally the one that has image and sound well under control. But while manuals promised the possibility of (re)gaining control over home video, examples of recordings show the ultimate failure in realizing such a possibility. The article argues that listening to home videos can give insight on how media practices inscribe themselves into everyday life and are, therefore, linked to power relations, attempts to control, and scopes of action within the domestic sphere.

挣扎于控制:家庭录像中的声音。

本文调查了家庭录像中的声音练习。家庭录像手册和杂志推荐了处理声音的具体策略，其目标往往是控制所拍摄情况的开放性和不可预测性。家庭视频话语的主体(在手册中主要是白人、男性和家庭的父亲)理想地是图像和声音都得到很好控制的主体。但是，尽管使用手册承诺有可能(重新)获得对家庭录像的控制，但录音的例子表明，实现这种可能性的最终失败。这篇文章认为，听家庭录像可以让我们深入了解媒体实践是如何融入日常生活的，因此，它们与权力关系、控制企图和家庭领域内的行动范围有关。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Cultural Studies is committed to rethinking cultural practices, processes, texts and infrastructures beyond traditional national frameworks and regional biases. The journal publishes theoretical, empirical and historical analyses that interrogate what culture means, and what culture does, across global and local scales of power and action, diverse technologies and forms of mediation, and multiple dimensions of performance, experience and identity. Dedicated to theoretical and methodological innovation in cultural research, the journal is multidisciplinary in outlook, publishing relevant contributions that integrate approaches from the social sciences, humanities, information sciences and more. International Journal of Cultural Studies publishes original research articles. The journal gives preference to papers that extend existing theory or generate new theory through interpretive engagement with empirical cases. Papers based on single country case-studies should clearly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses for an international readership. The journal does not publish close readings of single texts; but it does consider critical, contextualised readings that similarly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses to the field. International Journal of Cultural Studies regularly publishes special issues on urgent questions in the field as well as on specific regions, industries and practices.
