"In compelling and intricately argued ways, the authors make a
resounding case for understanding how vocal sonority is intrinsic
to self-identity and self-reception ... Required Reading." - Jane
Boston, Principal Lecturer, Voice Studies, Royal Central School of
Speech and Drama A new, provocative study of the ethical,
political, and social meanings of the everyday voice. Utilising the
framework of feminist philosophy, authors Ann J. Cahill and
Christine Hamel approach the phenomenon of voice as a lived,
sonorous and embodied experience marked by the social structures
that surround it, including systemic forms of injustice such as
ableism, sexism, racism, and classism. By developing novel
theoretical constructs such as "intervocality" and "respiratory
responsibility," Cahill and Hamel cut through the static between
theory and praxis and put forward exciting theories on how human
vocal sound can perpetuate -- and challenge -- persistent
inequalities. Sounding Bodies presents a powerful model of how the
seemingly disparate disciplines of philosophy and voice/speech
training can, in conversation with each other, generate
illuminating insights about our vocal lives and identities.
