Wie entsteht Identität? Wie werden wir zu denen, die wir sind? Und wie beeinflussen sich die kollektive Identität einer Gesellschaft und die persönliche Identität ihrer Mitglieder? In dieser Folge von »Suhrkamp espresso« stellen wir Ihnen vier Bücher zum Thema Identität vor. In »Erinnerung eines Mädchens« erinnert sich die französische Schriftstellerin Annie Ernaux – die sich als »Ethnologin ihrer selbst« bezeichnet – an den Sommer 1958 und traumatische Erlebnisse als Jugendliche, die ihre Identität, ja ihr Leben bis heute prägen. Tristan Garcia beschäftigt sich in seinem Buch »Wir« mit der Geschichte und den Mechanismen von kollektiver Identitätsbildung und geht der Frage nach, wie sich ein politisches Subjekt konstituiert. In »Niemals«, »Endgültig« und »Geblendet«, den Thrillern um die blinde Elitepolizistin Jenny Aaron setzt Andreas Pflüger seine Protagonistin nicht nur packenden Fällen aus, sondern konfrontiert die Heldin auch mit der Frage, wer sie eigentlich ist – und was es bedeutet, wenn Blindheit zum Teil der eigenen Identität wird. Diese Erfahrung musste auch der Universitätsdozent John M. Hull machen. In seinem Buch »Im Dunkeln sehen«, das bei C.H. Beck erschienen ist, schildert er sein Leben nach der Erblindung mit Anfang 40.

This week, a best of with a replay an interview from the UK's RNIB (Royal National Institute for the Blind) Connect radio with filmmaker Peter Middleton, who along with producer James Spinney, created the incredible documentary Notes on Blindness. The 2016 documentary profiles writer and theologian John M. Hull, who became totally blind after decades of steadily deteriorating vision. To help him make sense of the upheaval in his life, Hull began documenting his experiences on audio cassette which forms the basis on the film. The film was recently nominated for four British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards, or BAFTAs. Following on from this is a soundscape from the film featuring the voice of John Hull. This particular program originally aired on the 1 March 2017
Based on the Emmy Award-winning short film of the same name, Notes on Blindness is the debut feature from Writer-Directors Peter Middleton & James Spinney. In 1983, after decades of steady deterioration, writer and theologian John Hull became totally blind. To help him make sense of the upheaval in his life, he began documenting his experiences on audio cassette. Drawing on John’s original audio recordings, Notes on Blindness is a poetic and intimate story of loss, rebirth and transformation, charting his extraordinary journey into ‘a world beyond sight’. To compliment this archive material, the filmmakers recorded over twenty hours of audio interviews with John and his wife Marilyn. These audio interviews are interwoven throughout the film’s soundtrack, forming a lyrical narration, with the couple reflecting on events from a distance of thirty years. This wealth of documentary audio material is embedded within cinematic interpretations, in which actors play John and his family, lip-synching to this documentary audio. This innovative creative approach liberates the scope of the film to explore the interior aspects of John’s journey into blindness – John’s dream life, his memories and flights of imagination. Writer-Directors Peter Middleton & James Spinney join us for a conversation on the their innovative approach to conveying the experience of blindness and the challenges of telling this deeply personal story of love and triumph.
