Diegeticikassa

Diegeticikassa is a fictional term that appears in discussions related to sound design and film theory. It does not correspond to a recognized or established concept within the academic study of cinema or audio engineering. The term seems to be a portmanteau, possibly combining "diegetic" with "ikassa," though the latter part's origin or intended meaning is unclear.

The term "diegetic" itself refers to sounds within a film's narrative world, meaning sounds that the characters can hear. This includes dialogue, environmental noises, and any music that is part of the fictional setting, such as a radio playing. The opposite is non-diegetic sound, which is added for the audience's benefit and is not heard by characters, like a musical score or voice-over narration.

Given the likely construction of "diegeticikassa," it might be an attempt to describe a specific type of diegetic sound, perhaps one that has a particular aural quality or plays a unique narrative function. However, without a source or context where this term is formally defined or used, its precise meaning remains speculative. It is possible that "diegeticikassa" originated in an informal online discussion, a creative writing exercise, or as a private shorthand among a group of individuals. As it stands, it is not a standard term found in film studies literature or sound design practice.
