Hello again, âReal Is Not Real Enoughâ enthusiasts! In this special episode, we're happy to present an article titled "Acoustic Access to Knowledge." This piece is a product of the original GĂŒnther Anders podcast translation project, where we explore the profound impact of sound on our understanding of the world.
Dive into the intricate world of sound with Kylie Giblett from The University of Sydney, as she performs the audio version of an article penned by a member of the âReal Is Not Real Enoughâ team, Ben Nickl. This article, combined with sound editing and mixing by Jacob Craig (who also did the sound work on season one of our podcast), brings you a compelling auditory experience that goes beyond the written word.
But, before we embark on this sonic journey, we want to extend our gratitude and assurance to the members of the Deaf, Late-Deafened, Deafblind, Deaf-disabled, Hard-of-Hearing, and Hearing-Impaired Community. Your experiences matter; we're committed to ensuring our content is accessible and inclusive.
If you prefer transcripts or written content, you can find them online at bit.ly/3Rc6Zp6. At âReal Is Not Real Enoughâ, we believe in the power of sound and its diverse forms of perception, including vibrations, visual cues, and tactile feedback. Our goal is to make the world of sound accessible to everyone.
So, get ready to open your ears wide as we embark on this auditory exploration together. Tune in, absorb the wisdom, and join us for another âRealâ episode with "Acoustic Access to Knowledge."

Consuelo and Tracey each bring different perspectives to the text and audio of Real is Not Real Enough. Together in conversation, and with excerpts from the audio diary, we consider how Gunther Andersâ Hollywood reflections help us open up questions of translation, authenticity, cultural ownership and belonging.
If you would like to read as well as listen, you can find the English language translation of Real is Not Real Enough here: https://modernismmodernity.org/articles/washing-the-corpses-trans You might notice that the title of the text is the initial translation from the German, Washing the Corpses of History: The Hollywood Costume Palace, a 1941 Exile Diary by GĂŒnther Anders.

In this inaugural episode of Unpacking The Real we meet Dr Anna Pollmann. Anna is a researcher at the Research Institute for Social Cohesion at Konstanz University, where she is co-editor of the volume Key Concepts of Social Cohesion: A Critical Vocabulary. https://www.fgz-risc.de/das-forschungsinstitut/personen/details/anna-pollmann
Anna is a cultural historian of the 19th and 20th centuries. Her first book "Fragments from the End Times" is based on the work of GĂŒnther Anders and reflects her broader interest in the transformation of historical consciousness from modernity to postmodernity.
In our conversation Anna refers to the diary chapter we have called Real is Not Real Enough by the more direct German translation: the Corpse Washer of History. In the original it is Der LeichenwÀscher der Geschichte.
The GĂŒnther Anders archive is housed in the Ăsterreichische Nationalbibliothek and located in the Wiener Hofburg right above the Spanische Hofreitschule. https://www.onb.ac.at/
Anna also refers, more specifically, to the Austrian Literature Archive in Vienna https://www.onb.ac.at/en/library/departments/literature/about-the-literary-archive
