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
- 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)
