Das weisse Buch (2010) dient Rafael Horzon als Baustein seiner öffentlichen Inszenierungspraktiken, die, so die These dieses Beitrags, den kulturellen Techniken von hochstaplerischen Performances entsprechen. Es wird folgend der Versuch unternommen, Überlegungen zum Begriff der ‚Hochstapelei‘ mit vielversprechenden Ansätzen der autofiktionstheoretischen Forschung zu verbinden. Dabei arbeitet der Beitrag heraus, wie sich der reale Autor Rafael Horzon als gleichnamiger autodiegetischer Erzähler in Das weisse Buch inszeniert. Peritextuelle Angaben in Form von zugleich ironisierenden und täuschenden Gattungsbestimmungen sowie Wahrheitsbekundungen sind Teil einer textintern zum Vorschein kommenden hochstaplerischen Performance. Mit dem spielerischen Umgang zwischen Primärtext und Epitexten setzt der reale Autor Horzon diese Performance textextern fort und versperrt seinen Rezipient*innen letztlich den Zugang zur ‚echten‘ Person hinter dieser schelmischen Fassade.
The role of music in second-language (L2) learning has long been the object of various empirical and theoretical inquiries. However, research on whether the effect of background music (BM) on language-related task performance is facilitative or inhibitory has produced inconsistent findings. Hence, we investigated the effect of happy and sad BM on complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) of L2 speaking among intermediate learners of English. A between-groups design was used, in which 60 participants were randomly assigned to three groups with two experimental groups performing an oral L2 English retelling task while listening to either happy or sad BM, and a control group performing the task with no background music. The results demonstrated the happy BM group’s significant outperformance in fluency over the control group. In accuracy, the happy BM group also outdid the controls (error-free clauses, correct verb forms). Moreover, the sad BM group performed better in accuracy than the controls but in only one of its measures (correct verb forms). Furthermore, no significant difference between the groups in syntactic complexity was observed. The study, in line with the current literature on BM effects, suggests that it might have specific impacts on L2 oral production, explained by factors such as mood, arousal, neural mechanism, and the target task’s properties.
