A sound tale about the symbolic conflict between two human beings: Meanings and soundings of language in Veliki kamen: A radiophonic poem by Ivana Stefanović

Abstract

The radiophonic work, A Large Stone, due to the synergy of various acoustic elements, calls for an imaginary play of listening and stimulates the further artistic development of interdisciplinary. The focus is on listening, on the perception of sound, and unlike the musical part, the radiophonic effect is reduced to the auditory aspect, since there is no (note) record that we can use. On the one hand, the sound is the one that is elusive, on the other hand, words, i.e. language, tends to 'root' and define. Ivana Stefanović through the drama text of Ljubomir Simović enters into a dialogue with a significant and semantically very rich topic in which the focus is on the patriarchal system and the oppression of the woman. Ivana Stefanović extends the boundaries of this subject and transmits it to the relationship between a man and a woman, both in the past and today and in the treatment of the test, guided by the laws of radiophony, points to the symbolic conflict of two human beings. A Large Stone is a work of eclectic structure that consists of the most diverse sounds and sounding - speech, non-verbal treatment, musical and literary quotes, originally composed music segments, sounds of a certain and unspecified pitch from an acoustic source, or electronically generated, or concrete, ambient sounds. The listener in contact with the A Large Stone, part of the hybrid structure, becomes an active receiver, who (re)creates the work and writes a new meaning to it. Ivana Stefanović through the sound tells her vision of today's Hasanaginica. Hasanaginica becomes She, and Hasan -aga becomes He, two principles and two lonelinesses. There are two subjects of the modern age lost in the demands that society permanently imposes on all of us. In my opinion, radiophony is a very intense artistic expression that requires the listener to stand, to concentrate on the sound, to only one source of sensory stimulus, which in the modern age is almost unimaginable. Sound that tells stories, if we listen carefully, can say a great deal, and the radiophonic works by Ivana Stefanović are always topical stories that tell a great deal through the sound and sounding.
