Sonic Affect(s): Binaural Technologies and the Construction of Auratorship in Rolf de Heer's 'Bad Boy Bubby' (Metro Special Feature: Sound)

'This article posits the notion of 'auratorship' as offering a useful way of discussing the explicit positioning of the spectator in relation to Rolf de Heer's 1993 film 'Bad Boy Bubby'. In 'Bad Boy Bubby', crafting the listener's disgust becomes an art form. It is a practice mastered primarily through the use of binaural microphones, which work to increase audience identification, and alternatively, to provoke a corporeal response.'
