Noise is defined negatively as a disruptive element. “It works as a deconstruction”, Paul Hegarty claims. Historically, in the Aristotelian tradition, music used to be thought of as an art based upon harmonious sound and correct proportions, that is, as fundamentally opposed to noise, which did not depend on harmony or mathematical rules. Such a conception was, however, to be gradually overruled by theories of the sublime which accomplished a shift from the object (i.e. music) to the subject (i.e. the listener). Music was gradually “freed”, as it were, from its dependence upon mathematics, and since – for Burke – terror was considered the main cause of the sublime, the temptation arose to suggest sublime terror in music by procedures of imitation of natural noises. This, however, clashed with another dominant aspect of the theories of musical expression that directed that whatever was harsh or discordant could not claim the title of “music.” This paper attempts to analyse the epistemological and aesthetic crisis that resulted from the eighteenth-century theories of expression and of the sublime in England, and which made “noise” both something that one was tempted to introduce into music to create sublime effects, as well as something that was fundamentally incompatible with harmonious sound and expression.","PeriodicalId":40360,"journal":{"name":"Etudes Episteme","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70105348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Function of Sound in the Gothic Novels of Ann Radcliffe, Matthew Lewis and Charles Maturin","authors":"Angela M. Archambault","doi":"10.4000/EPISTEME.965","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4000/EPISTEME.965","url":null,"abstract":"In the decades that followed Horace Walpole’s pioneer novel of the new Gothic genre, Gothic literature would prove unruly in its evolution and would veer towards a markedly audible experience in the works of Radcliffe, Lewis and Maturin during the last decade of the eighteenth century. While these novelists honored Walpole’s thematic requisites of murder, transgression and abundant architectural entrapments (castles, abbeys, and cloisters) – these authors supplemented the visual experience with a fresh, previously unexplored ingredient: sound. What seems to emerge from these texts is a sort of Gothic soundtrack whose noise, music and voice is capable of triggering panic and ushering in greater unpredictability. While Gothicism had already existed as literary genre well beyond the firm grasp of logic and control of human law and reason, sound begins to emerge, and functions as a textual device that amplifies these notions of terror. Sound, much like the immortal bodies of evil Gothic protagonists who pass through walls and topple morality, is unable to be managed or contained. Sound wafts over walls, passes through latched doors and knows no real barrier. Specifically, Gothic novelists Radcliffe, Lewis and Maturin experiment with the potential of sound a menacing device by orchestrating cacophony, gloomy chants and disembodied voices. Unable to be governed, it is, therefore in its very essence, an additional, albeit elusive, element that fuels the genre.","PeriodicalId":40360,"journal":{"name":"Etudes Episteme","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70112921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Noise and Sound Reconciled: How London Clubs Shaped Conversation into a Social Art 噪音与声音的调和:伦敦俱乐部如何将谈话塑造成一种社会艺术

It first examines the evolution of conversation in England both as a cultural concept and as a social practice in the context of the emergence and success of club sociability over the course of the eighteenth century. Conversation was at the heart of urban sociability practices and especially flourished in the London coffee-houses of the end of the seventeenth century. At the same time, conversation was theorized, conceptualized, modeled and discussed in a prolific and varied normative literature. Was the conversation that animated the first coffee-houses of the same nature as the conversation which prevailed in the exclusive circles of the second half of the eighteenth century? This study then points at obvious dissonances between the theory and the practice of conversation within the world of London clubs. While club conversation was a rite of worldly sociability, whose refined principles clubmen were supposed to master, it often sounded far from the smooth and polite prescriptive model it was expected to conform to. To what extent was Samuel Johnson, the founder of The Club and one of the greatest conversationalists of his time, a significant agent in the transformation of conversation into a social art in itself? Finally, this analysis claims that gentlemen’s clubs contributed to shape a new model of conversation in England, in which noise and sound could co-exist and the paradoxes inherent in club conversation could be reconciled.","PeriodicalId":40360,"journal":{"name":"Etudes Episteme","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70105031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the Use and Representations of Sound in British Pre-Romantic and Romantic Poetry, or “On The Power of Sound” 英国前浪漫主义和浪漫主义诗歌中声音的运用和表现，或“论声音的力量”

It is demonstrated that, at a time when the age-old topos of world harmony was at bay in an increasingly dechristianized Europe, poets endeavoured to revive the idea of a pact of man with nature through the notion of aural sensation. From Thomson to Keats, natural noises and sounds came to the status of traces of the transcendence. In texts such as The Task (Cowper) or “On the Power of Sound” (Wordsworth), the topos of locus amoenus and that of harmony are outlined so as to point to an evanescent unity at work in nature which it is the poet’s task to find and to bring to the knowledge of his fellow human beings. It is striking that, in forgotten fragments and major works alike, the lexical field of music as an art is omnipresent, though unobtrusive, in bucolic or georgic depictions of landscapes. Used in metaphors, it hints at natural sounds to be heard and understood as a language that man must be aware of and make his. Poetry around 1720-1830 thus invited each of its readers, as an individual, to open themselves to the mystery underlying the sensible world and to re-enchant their vision of this world… through listening.","PeriodicalId":40360,"journal":{"name":"Etudes Episteme","volume":"1 1","pages":"13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70104653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Boswell in London: An Eighteenth-Century Soundscape Study 博斯韦尔在伦敦:18世纪音景研究

Davies","doi":"10.4000/EPISTEME.1046","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4000/EPISTEME.1046","url":null,"abstract":"The journals in which James Boswell records his experiences in London between 1760 and 1795 are a rich source of information regarding the sounds that were generated by and heard within the city. They are also highly revealing in terms of the manner in which a single individual listened, thought about sound and noise, and represented this form of sensory experience through writing. This article makes the case that a productive approach to this material is to examine it in relation to the widely used but often loosely defined concept of the soundscape. It draws together the various dimensions of this concept, including the ideas of immersion, selection, regulation, manipulation, and imagination, and brings them into dialogue with existing scholarship on Boswell’s construction of self through writing, and on the influence of The Spectator project and the role ascribed to the senses within the philosophical writing of Locke and Hume, both on him personally and eighteenth-century society more broadly. In so doing, it argues that we can nuance our understanding of Boswell in relation to others, himself, and the world and can identify patterns regarding the relationship between Boswell’s external and internal experience as they change over time.","PeriodicalId":40360,"journal":{"name":"Etudes Episteme","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70104759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an article published in May 2015 in Etudes Episteme, Line Cottegnies and Gisele Venet studied the annotations in the Folio and described, among other things, the curious marking of the book, the letters PS hand-pressed repeatedly throughout at regular intervals. Since then, other similarly-marked books, six in total to date, have emerged in the Saint-Omer rare books collection, and allow us to suggest that the letters PS stand for “Praefectus/i Studiorum”, and that the marked books were placed in a Prefect of Studies’ reserve. This short article mainly aims at describing the PS-marked books that have been identified. We suggest that the marking indicates that PS-marked books were kept separate from the main communal library. This raises in turn some interesting questions about the juxtaposition of the Folio with the other PS-marked books, and this note offers some tentative suggestions to try and explain why it was thus withdrawn from circulation and placed in a reserve or special collection of a Prefect of Studies.","PeriodicalId":40360,"journal":{"name":"Etudes Episteme","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70104842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
