Abstract

Comparing two different types of media can easily lead to signifying their gap within their differences. A gap exists, and there is no doubt about it. This study aims to demonstrate that such a gap cannot always be constructed in disconnecting ways and that resulting differences are not constructed in a hierarchy. Being aware of this, the study focused on the existence of a narrator embodied in written and spoken language in the and audio book Land, respectively, and translated the focus into a connection between reading in silence and reading through listening. Chapter 2 finds dialogism in the narrator of the paper book Land due to the speaker depicted as the most multi-natured character outside the events and inside the drama in Part 1 of the story. Chapters 3 and 4 focus on the narrator of the audio book Land as an outcome of finding the traces of spoken language dwelling in the written language. Discovering that the voice actor playing the narrator of the audio book performed with a voice excluding emotions, the study focused on the fact that the recitation mechanism of the narrator in the paper book Land is based on reading from beginning to end to understand it. Chapter 4, in particular, focuses on the characteristics of audio books including convenience and will for finishing the listening commonly mentioned in statistical surveys and research on audiobook platforms as well as the responses of readers listening to audiobooks. It should note that reading through listening an audiobook is being settled into a way of offsetting the difficulties of reading all of a book to peoples. It seems useless to find connections between things that appear to have nothing to do with each other. This paper is a symptomatic attempt at reading derived from looking at many different layers of reading fulfillment inserted between media. It may be possible to estimate the outline of bases, in which Land continues to be established as a closed text after many years of talking to readers beyond time and space limitations based on the entry of words in multiple layers, from this way of reading that seems irrelevant and useless. This study is an uninvited initiation of a conversation out of the anxiety that Land, which has spurred diverse conversations of many types among its readers for the last 50 years or so, might be read as a closed and complete canon within different reading patterns.
