Using a communicological perspective, Recovering the Voice in our
Techno-Social World: On the Phone identifies voice (phone in Greek)
as the essential medium for a re-enchantment of human communication
in our highly impersonal techno-social environment. This book is a
response to the growing concern by social critics that we are
becoming a de-voiced society because of our preferences for
hyper-textual, image-based forms of electronic connectivity.
Ironically, while we are increasingly "on the phone," we are
sacrificing our vocality within immediate ear-to-ear relations.
Framed by the trope of enchantment, Deborah Eicher-Catt argues that
the immediacy of the sounding voice calls us and enchants us to
make possible productive moments of resonance in which we might
cultivate an interpersonal resilience in today's fast-paced,
media-saturated environment. Scholars of media studies,
communication, and sociology will find this book particularly
useful.
