The electronic sound in cinema: a phenomenological approach

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the new relations established between bodies and a new space that is configured from electronically generated and modified sounds. From the phenomenological perspective of authors such as Jean-Luc Nancy, Don Ihde and Steven Connor, we describe the movements of production of meaning, beyond a hermeneutic field, inserted in the processes of reverberation between the bodies. Sounds bring more than the information about the original vibration producer object, but also about its entire surroundings. This information becomes more complex within the detachment of sounds from actual physical bodies, practice occasioned by new technologies and widely used in cinema.
