Critical legal scholars have made us aware that law is made up not
only of rules but also of language. But who speaks the language of
law? And can one lawfully speak in one's voice? For the Italian
philosopher Adriana Cavarero, to answer these questions we must not
separate who is speaking from the very act of speaking; moreover,
we must recuperate the material singularity and relationality of
the mouth that speaks. Drawing on Cavarero's work, this book
focuses on the potentiality of the voice for resisting law's
sovereign structures. For Cavarero, it is the voice that expresses
one's living and unrepeatable singularity in a way that cannot be
subsumed by the universalities and standards of law. The voice is
essentially a material and singular passage of air and vibration
that necessarily reveals one's uniqueness in relationality.
Speaking discloses this uniqueness, and so one's vulnerability. It
therefore leads to possibilities of resistance that, here, bring a
fresh approach to longstanding legal theoretical concerns with
singularity, ethics and justice.
