Embodied Voices: Representing Female Vocality in Western Culture Paperback - 1996

by Leslie C. Dunn (Editor); Nancy A. Jones (Editor)


From the publisher

Embodied Voices explores cultural manifestations of feminine vocality in the light of current theories of subjectivity, the body, and sexual difference. The voice has been endlessly fascinating to artists and critics, yet it is the voices of women that have inspired the greatest fascination, because the female voice signifies sexual and cultural power. The fourteen essays in this book examine a wide spectrum of discourses, including myth, literature, music, film, psychoanalysis and critical theory.

First line

The mythologizing and so mystifying of the female voice in the West began with the beginnings of Western culture itself, in ancient Greece.

From the rear cover

Embodied Voices explores cultural manifestations of female vocality in light of current theories of subjectivity, the body and sexual difference. The fourteen essays collected here examine a wide spectrum of discourses, including myth, literature, music, film, psychoanalysis, and critical theory.
