Thematic -Navigating Borders and Contours: From Direct Address to Fuzzy Narrators

with Tina Bastajian [[1]]

Synopsis

Sometimes it is almost impossible to infer whether or to what degree a narrator is fallible. (Wayne Booth -The Rhetoric of Fiction, 1961)

This thematic will interrogate in theory and praxis the mutable contours of narrative strategies from early cinema, modes of address in documentary practices, to more data-driven speculative scenarios. A variety of approaches will be explored, such as appropriating and re-positioning the conventions from the silent film era. Early film or the ‘cinema of attractions’[2] used live film ‘lecturers’ also known as ‘Explicateurs’ (Holland), or Benshi [3] (Japan), that attracted viewers and propelled the silent narratives onscreen as well providing forms of translation for films with foreign language intertitles. Such constellations of display coalesce for example, with more contemporary practices known as the performance lecture, neo-benshi or even PechaKucha style presentations.

Throughout this thematic we will locate, re-contextualize, undermine and intervene with such strategies to produce new relationships and encounters with variations of fuzzy,* [4]disembodied, unfaithful, or unreliable narrators [5] and hybrids thereof. The module will navigate in between the interstices of moving image/sound online archives providing an initial platform to consider one’s own work. This may also include forms of documentation, the underscoring of work processes, or constructing new spaces of speculation, inquiry, and spectatorship.

Extended Text

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth. Oscar Wilde

While more narrative forms are exploited in the aforementioned practices, it is by working with, through and against such linear tendencies that also call upon us to reconsider the document and documentary forms. Thus, while thinking through the notion of the live ‘lecturer’ we might transpose this concept to the role of the voice or mediator commonly exploited in documentary or essay films, and the use of voice-over (VO), direct address, subtitles, and interviews. Mediators could also include handheld camera techniques (e.g. cinéma vérité /cinema truth) editing or compositional decisions. Such conventions within documentary practices act as carriers and purveyors of truth, authenticity, legibility, fidelity, etc. In contradistinction, these same conventions are exploited in ‘mockumentary’ film by manufacturing fake, confabulated, or partial truths. It is through these very fuzzy devices which also poignantly calls into question the malleability of storytelling practices, and complex issues such as memory and identity, in which to interrogate and subvert static and binary thinking.

When applying the documentary vernacular of fidelity for example to networked behaviors, what emerges from more unstable media could include unreliable browsers, themes of uncertainty, the glitch and the errant. (glitchbrowser) ([6] (blogspot.jodi.org) [7]) These attributes also reveal varying appearances of fuzzy, ambivalent or unreliable narrators such as networks that render “out of range” to other mis/readings whether they be analog, digital, networked or varying combinations. How might these and other errant behaviors and occurrences be incorporated, or translated to, with, alongside and beyond early film and documentary approaches to contour fuzzy and uncharted narrative strategies.

Coda

This and other modular thematics at Piet Zwart Institute (Master of Media Design & Communication), “aims to develop your understanding of your work in relation to others in the field and help you define your position within a broader cultural, technical and social contexts.” Consider the below "Topics for Further Investigation" as a starting point to expand and perhaps redefine the notion of fuzzy or unreliabilty to and with other mediums and contexts, refer to the wiki entry at the Living Handbook of Narratology: Shen, Dan. "Unreliability", Paragraph 44. In: Hühn, Peter et al. (eds.): [8]

(a) Unreliable narration in non-verbal media and in verbal genres other than prose fiction. (b) In prose fiction, unreliability in postmodern fiction, second-person narration, simultaneous narration, etc. (c) Unreliability in poetry, e.g. in the “dramatic monologue.” (d) The relation between unreliable narration and gender, class or racial issues. (e) In dealing with textual incongruities, whether there are other integration mechanisms or conceptual frames apart from those already identified. (f) How different critical theories lead to different conceptions of the same textual incongruities. (g) When a text is translated into another language, how the different cultural context with different social norms bear on the interpretation of unreliability. (h) Whether there are other causes underlying unreliable narration. (i) Whether there are other indicators of unreliable narration. (j) How to carry out a rhetorical investigation of unreliability more effectively, especially in terms of a text produced in a different historical or cultural context.

*Fuzzy logic is a term that spans many disciplines. As a computational term, it was first coined by Dr. Lotfi Zadeh in 1965 and has been absorbed by other fields such as philosophy, engineering, mathematics, sociology, linguistics and statistics to name a few. “Zadeh looks around him in the real world which he finds pervaded by concepts which do not have sharply defined boundaries, where information is often incomplete or sometimes unreliable.” <http://www.azer.com/aiweb/categories/magazine/24_folder/24_articles/24_fuzzywhat.html>
