Description

The Fact of Resonance returns to the colonial and technological contexts in which theories of the novel developed, seeking in sound an alternative premise for theorizing modernist narrative form. The book shows how the experience of reading is undergirded by the sonic. Review In a moment when the voices of the oppressed are ringing out across the world, Julie Beth Napolin's The Fact of Resonance brings us toward the literary beginnings of modernism so that we can learn to listen for difference, which was never, contrary to some Fascist desires, completely contained.-- "Social Text" It is an exciting time to be a Conradian. At the same time that many of us are contending with well-intentioned but misplaced efforts to right literary discourse by eradicating Conrad from the canon, recent works of criticism are broadening the scope of investigation into his works and allowing us to rethink his writing in radically new ways. Such critical work is important; it confirms the author's place in academic discussion and provides new avenues of research that attest to his continuing importance in the future. Julie Beth Napolin's The Fact of Resonance is a welcome contribution to this enterprise. It allows us to see beyond the abstractions of narrative voice and to hear, feel and experience Conrad's writing anew.-- "Joseph Conrad Today" This is a remarkable book, a truly interdisciplinary effort that brings the study of sound to bear on the very nature of narrative and the phenomenology of reading. Using a twinned approach to sound--both as acoustics and as sound-figures--allows Napolin to produce a wholly original set of engagements with the politics of colonialism, race, affect, and subjectivity in the modernist novel. ---Brian Kane, Yale University, With meticulous attention to the aesthetics and politics of voice, sound, reading, listening, and the representation of others, Julie Beth Napolin offers an ear-opening set of resonances, restoring to the texts in question an audiovisual multiplicity entangled with race and ethnicity. This book is destined to reboot our reception of classics by Conrad, Du Bois, Fanon, Faulkner, and others. An admirably ambitious and nuanced study. ---Rey Chow, co-editor of Sound Objects, About the Author Julie Beth Napolin is Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities in the Literature Program at The New School. She has published on sound, media, and literature in qui parle, Symploke, Sounding Out!, and Social Text and in such volumes as Vibratory Modernism, Sounding Modernism, and Fifty Years after Faulkner. In 2012 she was awarded a Bruce Harkness Young Scholar Award by the Joseph Conrad Society of America.
