Undisciplining the Voice
Undisciplining the Voice proposes that aligning voice with sound and the human has been central to the colonial project of modernity. Focusing on the North American settler context, Blake examines a range of archival and artistic sources – including sound technologies, performances, and installation artworks – to trace not only definitions of voice that have consolidated colonial and heteropatriarchal power structures, but also decolonial genealogies of voicing that I term voicing otherwise.
