Histories of the book often move straight from the codex to the digital screen. Left out of that familiar account are nearly 150 years of audio recordings. Recounting the fascinating history of audio-recorded literature, Matthew Rubery traces the path of innovation from Edison’s recitation of “Mary Had a Little Lamb” for his tinfoil phonograph in 1877, to the first novel-length talking books made for blinded World War I veterans, to today’s billion-dollar audiobook industry. The Untold Story of the Talking Book focuses on the social impact of audiobooks, not just the technological history, in telling a story of surprising and impassioned conflicts: from controversies over which books the Library of Congress selected to become talking books—yes to Kipling, no to Flaubert—to debates about what defines a reader. Delving into the vexed relationship between spoken and printed texts, Rubery argues that storytelling can be just as engaging with the ears as with the eyes, and that audiobooks deserve to be taken seriously. They are not mere derivatives of printed books but their own form of entertainment. We have come a long way from the era of sound recorded on wax cylinders, when people imagined one day hearing entire novels on mini-phonographs tucked inside their hats. Rubery tells the untold story of this incredible evolution and, in doing so, breaks from convention by treating audiobooks as a distinctively modern art form that has profoundly influenced the way we read.

Il volume si presenta come un’agile ricostruzione della storia sociale del libro e del rapporto che l’uomo ha tessuto con il testo. Vuole indagare come, dall’incisione su tavolette, passando poi dal rotolo e dalla tecnologia della stampa fino alla scrittura digitale, il lettore e lo scrittore abbiano progressivamente modificato il loro legame rimettendo in discussione i propri ruoli. Parlare della produzione testuale nell’era digitale dal punto di vista sociologico permette di comprendere meglio qual è il contesto in cui un umanista digitale dovrà muoversi affrontando la difficile sfida di dovere studiare nuovi modelli di conservazione e condivisione della conoscenza. Ampio spazio è stato dato alle piattaforme on line, soprattutto Wattpad, i social network per la social reading e gli audiolibri, tutte tecnologie che permettono di porsi nuovi interrogativi su quali siano gli usi che i lettori fanno dei testi immergendosi in una dimensione inedita di convergenza culturale e tecnologica. Il tema caro a sociologi, storici del libro e critici letterari è stato affrontato osservando il quadro generale soprattutto dalla parte dell’audience che trasforma, commenta, recensisce le produzioni editoriali attraverso l’uso delle tecnologie digitali. Il libro, avendo voluto ricostruire anche quali sfide il web semantico dovrà affrontare nel prossimo futuro, si propone come strumento destinato a coloro che sono interessati a discipline afferenti al testo digitale, all’editoria e alle digital humanities, al fine di cogliere l’andamento storico dei rapporti sociali che il testo ha sempre saputo stimolare. Si è prestata in generale una particolare attenzione al presente, indagato con l’obiettivo di comprendere come esso sta intessendo le condizioni preliminari per gli imminenti sviluppi dello scrivere e del leggere.

Das Hörbuch hat in den letzten Jahren an Beliebtheit und Bedeutung gewonnen. Es ist kaum mehr aus Bibliotheken und Buchhandlungen wegzudenken - und zunehmend zeigt sich auch die Forschung interessiert. Gleichzeitig herrscht noch erheblicher Konturierungsbedarf: Wie die Wortbildung »Hör-Buch« bereits andeutet, handelt es sich um einen vielschichtigen Gegenstand, der nicht nur verschiedene Sinne zugleich anspricht, sondern auch in Abhängigkeit von der Perspektive, aus der man ihn betrachtet, seine Gestalt verändert. Die Beiträge des Bandes widmen sich dieser Vielgestaltigkeit an der Schnittstelle verschiedener Disziplinen. »Das Buch kann sowohl Studierenden als auch Forschenden als Einstieg in das Arbeitsfeld gute Dienste leisten. Da der Forschungsbedarf auf dem Feld des Hörbuchs unstrittig ist, kann dem Sammelband für die Anregungen nur gedankt werden.« Luisa Drews, PhiN, 81 (2017) »Ein sehr ergiebiges Werk, das für alle an der Erforschung von Hörbüchern und Hörspielen interessierten Lesern von großem Nutzen sein dürfte. Den Autorinnen und Autoren gelingt [es], die üblichen Perspektiven auf das Hörbuch vor allem auch durch die Einbeziehung von theaterwissenschaftlichen Aspekten zu bereichern.« Till Kinzel, Informationsmittel (IFB), 25 (2017) Besprochen in: r:k:m, 17.05.2017, Claas Morgenroth
