The Performative Power of Vocality offers a fresh perspective on
voice as a subject of critical inquiry by employing an
interdisciplinary and cross-cultural approach. Conventional
treatment of voice in theatre and performance studies too often
regards it as a subcategory of actor training, associated with the
established methods that have shaped voice pedagogy within Western
theatre schools, conservatories, and universities. This monograph
significantly deviates from these dominant models through its
investigation of the non-discursive, material, and affective
efficacy of vocality, with a focus on orally transmitted vocal
traditions. Drawing from her performance training, research
collaborations, and commitment to cultural diversity, Magnat
proposes a dialogical approach to vocality. Inclusive of
established, current, and emerging research perspectives, this
approach sheds light on the role of vocality as a vital source of
embodied knowledge, creativity, and well-being grounded in process,
practice, and place, as well as a form of social and political
agency. An excellent resource for qualitative researchers,
artist-scholars, and activists committed to decolonization,
cultural revitalization, and social justice, this book opens up new
avenues of understanding across Indigenous and Western philosophy,
performance studies, musicology, ethnomusicology, sound and voice
studies, anthropology, sociology, phenomenology, cognitive science,
physics, ecology, and biomedicine.
