Description

Audio Paper offers a conceptual and practice-based approach for researchers across a wide range of disciplines to integrate auditory culture into their published work in the form of the audio paper.

The audio paper is an academic text presented as an audio production. Introducing this new format, the book invites scholars to work in a publication format that integrates aesthetic perspectives and technological components in an academic work. This text builds on the authors' experience developing the audio paper and newly collected insights from researchers who have been involved in the production of audio papers over the past five years.

By providing you with historical perspectives, ranging from early radio production to present day podcasts, the audio paper is contextualized as a technologically driven publication format, with a grounding in auditory culture and a theoretical framework. Through a structural analysis of published audio papers, the authors seek a more robust understanding of the methods for analysis as well as the dramaturgical means employed. For the future development of the audio paper, the book proposes a series of directions, underlining how the audio paper holds a potential to become a transgressive intervention in academic publishing and a vehicle for new formats for thinking and doing research.
