Amos Oz’s writings - Opis:
- The aim of this article is to analyze Jerusalem’s soundscape as depicted in the works of the Israeli writer Amos Oz, employing the notion of a “soundscape” created by the Canadian musicologist R. Murray Schafer and developed within the interdisciplinary field of “sound studies”. Oz’s literary vision of Jerusalem refers mainly to the period of the riots and armed attacks in the 1940s, as well as to the later division of this city that lasted until 1967. The most distinctive and most often presented sounds, the so called soundmarks, in Oz’s prose create the specific character of Jerusalem and its identity as distinct from the rest of Israel. It is depicted as an outlying, gloomy and “distrustful” city that is overwhelmed with fear. The sounds of nature, such as reverberations of wind or voices of wild and domestic animals (howling of jackals, barking of dogs or caterwauling of cats) merge with the sounds belonging to the sphere of culture (clangour of bells, tunes of the piano), as well as with those of firings and explosions. Because of the lack of noise generated by cars, the soundscape of Jerusalem is typical of rustic spaces rather than of the spaces of other modern cities: all sounds, even the most low-keyed rustles and humming, are audible in its dominant silence.
