The voice was not a major philosophical topic until the 1960s, when Derrida and Lacan separately proposed it as a central theoretical concern. Here, Dolar goes beyond Derrida's idea of "phonocentrism" and revives and develops Lacan's claim that the voice is one of the paramount embodiments of the psychoanalytic object. He proposes that, apart from the uses of the voice as a vehicle of meaning and as a source of aesthetic admiration, there is a third level of understanding: the voice as an object that can be seen as the lever of thought. He investigates the object voice on a number of different levels--linguistics, metaphysics, ethics (the voice of conscience), the paradoxical relation between the voice and the body, the politics of the voice--and finally scrutinizes the uses of the voice in Freud and Kafka. With this foundational work, Dolar gives us a philosophically grounded theory of the voice as a Lacanian object-cause.--From publisher description.

L'experience atteste que la voix est intimement liee a la parole et au sujet parlant. Pourtant, dans cette parole meme, la voix tend a se delier du discours et a faire entendre sa resonance propre. Telle est la voix deliee. C'est la voix appelante dont l'intonation resonne dans le sujet pour requerir de lui qu'il s'arrache aux arguties du discours. C'est aussi la voix chantante qui cherche a s'affranchir de la parole pour jouir librement d'elle-meme. De diverses manieres, la voix deliee met en jeu la jouissance de ce que Lacan nommait la pulsion invocante : voix cruelle de l'injonction morale, voix de la dette de l'existence, voix de la jouissance musicale... Ce sont ces diverses modalites de la voix qui sont ici explorees en compagnie de Platon, Rousseau, Kant, Freud, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Lacan, Mozart, Leibniz, Bach... C'est dire que ce livre s'adresse aussi bien aux philosophes, aux psychanalystes, aux musicologues, aux melomanes... et, en general, a tous ceux qui ne sont pas sourds a l'appel de la voix.

Sonic Intimacy asks us who—or what—deserves to have a voice, beyond the human. Arguing that our ears are far too narrowly attuned to our own species, the book explores four different types of voices: the cybernetic, the gendered, the creaturely, and the ecological. Through both a conceptual framework and a series of case studies, Dominic Pettman tracks some of the ways in which these voices intersect and interact. He demonstrates how intimacy is forged through the ear, perhaps even more than through any other sense, mode, or medium. The voice, then, is what creates intimacy, both fleeting and lasting, not only between people, but also between animals, machines, and even natural elements: those presumed not to have a voice in the first place. Taken together, the manifold, material, actual voices of the world, whether primarily natural or technological, are a complex cacophony that is desperately trying to tell us something about the rapidly failing health of the planet and its inhabitants. As Pettman cautions, we would do well to listen.

"More than 40 years after her death, the extraordinary voice of Maria Callas, "La Divina Assoluta," still remains unsurpassed. It has the power to divide critics, some finding it monstrous, others transcendent. Artists like Patti Smith, Linda Ronstadt and Nina Simone have cited Callas as a major influence and inspiration. She remains one of the most important female voices of the 20th century. Much has been written about Callas's sensational opera career and fraught private life, from her clashes with other artists, affair with billionaire playboy Aristotle Onassis, to her tragic death in 1977. And yet, the fascination with Callas's biography tends to overshadow her most seemingly superhuman qualities - her astounding voice and masterful technique. Callas often spoke of her voice as if it were something external, independent of her, with its own will, failings and desires. Nevertheless, she was a diva with iron discipline, taming her voice to forge roles that have become legendary. Using one of Callas's first recital recordings from 1954 as a foundation, this book envisions each song, each aria, as a lens to examine phenomena as diverse as the operatic screaming point, feminism and the voice, and music and violence"--
