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/
- Accent Test - Language analysis testing of asylum applicants - why does a specific sound define syrian citizenship - See https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/257177/language-analysis.pdf
- The way of saying tomato... was used to test for palestinian / lebanon
- The right to silence / Miranda Rights / the right to avoid being misheard? minute shifts in accent have terrible impacts on people's lives - political interventions on OUR speech
- Gagging monologue recordings - the sonic quality of speech - the laws of listening?
- Not just about the right to speak freely but to be heard properly under the right conditions - a contract of listening
Language analysis testing of asylum applicants
In the course of piloting LA in the UK, LA was routinely permitted for applicants claiming to be Afghan, Eritrean, Kuwaiti, Palestinian and Somali, for whom Removal and Return Agreements (RRA) were available (but only where there was no Eurodac hit). (Eurodac is a large database of fingerprints of applicants for asylum and illegal immigrants found within the EU) Other nationalities were language tested, but only where it was strongly suspected the applicant had claimed a false identity. Such suspicions might arise from the individual providing contradictory documentation, statements or evidence, where they cannot speak the primary language (or are inconsistent in that tongue) and if they have a lack of knowledge about their claimed nationality. Independent pilots on LA were also conducted by Greece, Ireland, Malta and Turkey.
