Neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott on the voice and emotion
Beckett and the Disembodied Voice
Lawrence Abu Hamdan, artist and writer on the political uses of voice analysis;
- Aural Contract audio archive - a tracklist (systems of simultaneous trasmutation / forensic listening)
- Contemporary politics of listening - site in which a voice is heard, what is the necessity of announcing the law, why only after it is heard can it be said to take effect?
- United States - Supreme Court OYEZ OYEZ OYEZ - an judicial amplifier?
- OYEZ = The interjection is also traditionally used by town criers to attract the attention of the public to public proclamations
- what about the voice allows one to ENACT justice?
- fanatical typists - testing their word per minute - a group which meets up to test their speeds on court transcripts - different systems of Stenography
- Stenographers - the interview lawrence did after with "richard" one of the stenographers - he reports that in order to do his job he has to enter a special zone - removing himself from the subject - no meaning, just thinking of another architectural features - blocking out the meaning in the process of recording but only recording the phoemes - the tension between speech and sound / speech and language / splitting of speech and sound (this reminds me of Sophie's talk about how people deal with delayed speech feedback by becoming flatter)
- Recent developments in UK: No more stenography in UK today in legal system. now they record and outsource it to india to be transcribed! What is happening to the legal voice? What is happening to british law then? What is India's relationship with UK and the judiciary? Who are we testifying to then?
- Outsourcing voices. Telemarketers who have been outsourced. Indian Call centres in australia. Man who demands the name of his prime minister to indian call worker. Belonging to different jurisdiction. Who is the voice accountable to? Citizenship test.
- Audio Documentary - "The freedom of speech itself" - http://www.forensic-architecture.org/exhibitions/aural-contract-2/
