El documental radiofónico en la era digital: nuevas tendencias en los mundos anglófono y francófono | The radio documentary in the digital age : new trends in anglophone and francophone worlds
(2015) C. Beauvoir
Este articulo muestra como el genero del documental radiofonico esta aprovechando las nuevas tecnologias en la era digital. Las reflexiones aca plasmadas se obtuvieron a partir de una revision de la literatura especializada en ingles y frances, y de la practica actual del genero en estos idiomas. Se escogio este marco de investigacion por ser en los mundos anglofono y francofono en donde el documental radiofonico mas esta establecido y mas se ha estudiado. Se detalla el auge reciente del genero en internet y se presentan ejemplos de sus lugares de existencia para hacer una aproximacion a una posible definicion a partir de sus elementos constitutivos (narracion, historias reales, valor estetico y punto de vista del autor). El articulo concluye exponiendo las ventajas del genero para su audiencia, teniendo en mente el rol activo del oyente en la recepcion. Este trabajo busca contribuir a la escasa reflexion academica que existe sobre este genero en el mundo hispanohablante.
Frente de Fogo (Firefront): analysis of an epic story of survival
(University of Wollongong, 2018) C. Beauvoir
Frente de fogo invites us on a multiple journey through the story of a Portuguese fireman who unbelievably survived the forest fires that devastated his country in the summer of 2017. Isabel Meira’s production is based on a very strong story and backed with honest testimonies. It’s the tale of a survivor and the tale of a surviving family. Frente de fogo tackles such fundamental questions as: What does one do in the face of an exceptional situation and a danger of death? What is it like to live in hell for several hours? How do you survive this? How can your family survive this? This review aims to analyse the narrative in Frente de fogo, pointing out its strong points and suggesting how to improve its weakest points. The analysis addresses mainly three issues: the categorisation of the documentary as a “production without a narrator” and the demanding nature of the genre; the reconstruction of a dialogue through editing between the two main characters; the creative treatment of sound and space in the piece, especially linked with the creation of an emotion and the rhythm of the production.
One story, told week by week: episodic podcast storytelling and The Habitat
(University of Wollongong, 2019) C. Beauvoir
The rise and success of podcasting introduced episodic storytelling in the world of non-fiction sound narrative. Delivering a story in different entries is very different from producing a one-off piece. What concrete implications does this have for the narrative? And what keeps an audience listening to a podcast, episode through episode? This article offers some answers to these questions via a case study of The Habitat, a 2018 podcast by the American network Gimlet.
