Series of 6 essays which relate to the voice and its mediation. The texts deal particularly with the voice as a medium for collective practices (see The roots of collective voice). Historically, some voices and modes of addressing have been marginalised and shut out of the public domain (see the monstrosity of female voices); collective voice affords the amplification and multiplication (see Multiplication vis a vis amplification); there is a fear of ugly forms of address which are connected to the female body _ blood, birth, death, mourning &c.. These are forms of vocalisation which are excluded public discourse which centres on “self-control”, “reason”, such things have to be kept silent (see transmitting ugly things). There are technologies for such things, the men are taught to disport themselves in particular ways and they are taught to teach the women to be silent. In the current era we see how technologies serve to filter forms of collective voices; again this aims to reduce “noise” (see“oxymoron of democracy”). Practices of resistance (see Let’s talk about unspeakable things)
