about

"As a standard metaphor to describe writing, 'voice' often overlooks its corporeal dimensions at the same time it over-privileges sincerity and authenticity. Yet the voice - disembodied, ventriloquized, multiple, natural, denatured, captive, reproduced, silenced, uncontrollable, queer, nonsynchronous, post-wounded, vulnerable, racialized, post-racial, radicalized, exploitative, authoritative - is as physical and literal as a face. It is both a construct and invariably exists in excess of its own construction. How do writers make use of other disciplinary concepts of voice? How do writers pressure the voice: affect as manifested between the biological and the social, between the personal and political, between language and nonlanguage?"
