Ebook: Sounding Bodies: Identity, Injustice, and the Voice

A provocative study of the everyday voice - its ethical, political, and social meanings - and its relation to feminist philosophy.
The alternative perspective set out here, which highlights a feminist and non-binary approach to the field, comes at a time in our history when an approach to voice work that embraces these areas is not only welcome but necessary.
Within the framework of feminist philosophy, the authors consider the phenomenon of voice as a lived, sonorous, and phonetic experience, delving into where vocality intersects with racism, class, gender, and sexism and putting forward theories of vocality, vocal justice, and vocal embodiment.
Marrying practical and theoretical approaches, Sounding Bodies cuts across philosophy and voice/speech training to present a powerful model of the ways in which theoretical and practical knowledge in this sphere can inform one another.
