Abstract:This essay examines Joyce’s Ulysses and the sound recordings of it in relation to new patterns of listening and audio production emerging during the early decades of the twentieth century. In particular, the piece takes up an unexplored sociology of record collecting by discussing Joyce’s text alongside early-twentieth-century record-collecting journals that facilitated the group consumption of audio artifacts. In doing so, I argue that Ulysses similarly coordinates networked sound collecting and listening both as text and as recording, and this essay will broadly discuss two types of Joycean “sound coteries” produced by these practices: listening ones, those groups primarily geared towards the reception of audio artifacts, and recording ones, those communities that gather to produce new sound objects. The essay traces both types of coteries from the early-twentieth-century text of “Sirens” and Joyce’s rendition of “Aeolus” to LibriVox’s 2007 version of Ulysses, illuminating the social phenomenon of audio recording in which Joyce and his reader-listeners participate to this very day. The gramophone may have suggestions of death for Joyce and other modernists, but the machine also offers occasions for gathering, listening, and living together. The sound coteries constituted within and around Joyce’s Ulysses suggest that the same technology also offers an alternative, ritualized mode of listening characterized by live, social attention and communities.

乔伊斯唱片：聆听模式和声音小圈子

摘要：本文探讨了乔伊斯的《尤利西斯》及其录音与二十世纪早期出现的新的聆听和音频制作模式的关系。特别是，这篇文章通过讨论乔伊斯的文本以及促进音频制品的群体消费的 20 世纪早期的唱片收集期刊，探讨了未经探索的唱片收集社会学。在这样做的过程中，我认为 Ulysses 类似地将网络声音收集和收听作为文本和录音进行协调，本文将广泛讨论由这些实践产生的两种 Joycean“声音小组”：听力小组，那些主要面向接收音频人工制品和录制人工制品，这些社区聚集在一起以产生新的声音对象。这篇文章追溯了从 20 世纪早期的“塞壬”文本和乔伊斯对“风神”的演绎到 LibriVox 2007 年版本的尤利西斯的两种类型的小圈子，阐明了乔伊斯和他的读者听众参与的录音社会现象这一天。留声机可能对乔伊斯和其他现代主义者有死亡的暗示，但机器也提供了聚会、聆听和共同生活的机会。在乔伊斯的《尤利西斯》内部和周围构成的声音小圈子表明，同样的技术还提供了一种替代的、仪式化的聆听模式，其特点是现场、社会关注和社区。照亮了乔伊斯和他的读者听众参与到今天的录音的社会现象。留声机可能对乔伊斯和其他现代主义者有死亡的暗示，但机器也提供了聚会、聆听和共同生活的机会。在乔伊斯的《尤利西斯》内部和周围构成的声音小圈子表明，同样的技术还提供了一种替代的、仪式化的聆听模式，其特点是现场、社会关注和社区。照亮了乔伊斯和他的读者听众参与到今天的录音的社会现象。留声机可能对乔伊斯和其他现代主义者有死亡的暗示，但机器也提供了聚会、聆听和共同生活的机会。在乔伊斯的《尤利西斯》内部和周围构成的声音小圈子表明，同样的技术还提供了一种替代的、仪式化的聆听模式，其特点是现场、社会关注和社区。
