Beskrivning
This collection pushes the boundaries of studies and practices of voice–not only past essential, transcendental, and universal notions of voicing, but also to understudied arenas of voice and identity, especially in race, disability, aging, geographical, Indigenous, trans, and other contexts. The authors and editors understand the voice as existing both in and across contexts. Case studies oscillate between local and global phenomena to ground voicing in temporal, geographical, and political scales. From South African opera singers to Brazilian countertenors, gender-affirming trans voice care to spectrographic and documentary forms of representing voice, and Indigenous film dubbing to embodied performances of American Sign Language, this collection opens up disciplinarily and epistemologically bound topics to ask how vocality works in a multitude of ways for producing meanings around culture and identity. Moreover, this collection engages and emerges from a broad range of academic ranks, artistic practices, geographies, and identities, and engages interviews, multimedia exhibitions, and more. The contributors situate each act of voicing in its place, time, and connections to questions of power, agency, and advocacy.This book is for scholars and practitioners of voice and voice studies and those interested in the structural–and fluid–aspects of identity. The authors address both historical and cutting-edge issues, imbricating vocality in identity.

Recensioner i media

The Routledge Companion to Voice and Identity explores the interstices between the normativity of singing conventions, showing that they are more extensive and composite than expected. It extends the field of voice studies, opening to the voices that still “feel out of place” and are struggling to be heard and recognized, with a broad focus on the transitional processes of becoming. The chapters offer a kaleidoscopic array of positional research, primarily rooted in personal experience, reaching from traditional forms of vocality such as contratenors to trans-nonbinary singers questioning the link between identity and voice and opening spaces of negotiation in questions of gender and race. Additionally, the book broadens its scope beyond singing voices to include aspects such as geographical dislocation in film voice, various expressions of citizenship, and perspectives on disability. The multifarious perspectives articulated in the Routledge Companion to Voice and Identity substantially contribute to redefining, broadening, and mobilizing what we take for granted in matters of voice.- Michaela Garda, Professor for Music Aesthetics and Sociology at the University of Pavia, Department of Musicology and Cultural Heritage in Cremona
