Abstract Details

2019, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Film Studies.
This thesis focuses on two documentaries: Kirsten Johnson’s Cameraperson (2016) and Sarah Polley’s Stories We Tell (2012). By proposing the term affective listening, it foregrounds affective engagement with the voice of documentary. The thesis argues that listening to the materiality of voice(s) is inextricably bound up with embodied experiences of social subjects. Affective listening creates an auditory experience, establishing a direct link between worldly experiences of documentary subjects and corporeal memories. In both documentaries, listening to multiple voices requires attention to bodily expressions and sensations. The emphasis on corporeal expressions incorporates a multiplicity of affect conveyed through vocal conventions of documentary such as the voice-over and the interview. Consistent with the two documentaries, affective listening emphasizes a multiplicity of affect, a multiplicity that is ingrained corporeal memories.
