| Abstract: |
This response picks up on the four key points developed in
‘Variation in Transcription’. The focus is on how transcription practices
are implicated in extended histories of data processing by arguing for a
wider take on the ‘dyad’ of researcher and represented voice. The article
addresses the relevance of historically specific contexts of ‘hearing’ and
interpretative-analytical appropriation, the practical exigencies of publication
and how these have shifted over time, the contemporary challenges posed by
transcription-in-translation, as well as the affordances and constraints of past
and current technologies. |
