El imaginario sonoro en el Quijote: del texto cervantino a la creación radiofónica española

Abstract

This work approaches the field of Cervantes through a study of Don Quixote de la Mancha, by Miguel de Cervantes, from the point of view of sound as a category of research and creation. The possibility of sound recording and transmission, which for the first time in history became a reality at the dawn of the 20th century, facilitated the vision of sound as an object, a perception that was amplified with the emergence of audiovisual media, especially the radio, a means of generating a new sound artistic language. With the starting point of the development in contemporary society of a theory of the sound field as an element for reflection and artistic communication, and after the identification of the main concepts developed throughout the 20th century in this field, the research approaches the analysis, in the first place, of the Cervantine text, with the use of those theoretical principles exposed, such as sound landscape, performance or listening, and the observation in it of the characteristic structural elements of the sound language in radio: word, music, and noises, to which silence is added as a relative concept. This analysis seeks to identify the main features that characterize the sound narrative of Cervantes in the work. After that, the second part of the work focuses on the study of the adaptation of Don Quixote to the sound communication medium par excellence, the radio, with an approach to the main Spanish works of radio creation based on it, productions that represent some outstanding examples. in the field of radiogenic fiction and music in the history of the medium in our country. Its cataloging and analysis represent a new contribution to the field of Cervantism, as well as to the study of the evolution of the artistic language of Spanish radio
