2012
Abstract
Main concenrn of the article is the role and importance of sound perception and sound that can be philosophically interpreted from Weerasethakuls'' "Uncle Boonmee". The crucial thesis of the sound perception as based on the perception of space confronts a traditional way of sound perception analysis in philosophy in which the sound perception is based on the perception of time.
Substantial part of the article deals with the articulation of sound as perceived as coming from space in terms of "central location" and "visual imagination" after consideration of specific questions indicated by the soundtrack of Uncle Boonmee. The particular scenes are used to clarify the perspective of interpretation.
