## Workshop/meeeting structure
1. First warm up-feeling comfortable with each other (ideas: face washing, voice/breathing exercises, human microphone, deep listening of Pauline Oliveros)
1. Reading extracts and sharing personal/collective memories/stories related to them
1. At the same time a streaming platform will broadcast online our conversations and we are going to listen to it in the same space. Because of the feedback loop (microphone and speaker feeding each other) the broadcast will be a flow of echoes of our voices (Cristina we can try that before together). We are going to listen to our past mixed with our present. This gonna help to feel comfortable with our voice being in public.
1. Our patterns will be revealed. Pay attention to them

Assad or the extremists, they barely held any ground.")

The thesis is a series of 5 essays which relate to the voice and its mediation. They address the voice as a feminist tool for communicating and an object of inhabiting space. 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 marginalized and shut out of the public domain (see *the monstrosity of female voice*); collective voice affords the amplification and multiplication either with the aid of technology or embodied practices (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 vocalization which are excluded public discourse which centers on “self-control”, “reason”. Such things are creating noise and disorder and "have to be kept" silent according to the patriarchal norms. But alternative mediums and forms of communication have been developed against that (see *transmittingugly 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 *Let’s talk about unspeakable things*).

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 marginalized and shut out of the public domain (see *the monstrosity of female voice*); the collective voice represents the marginalized voice and the female voice is part of it. The former affords the amplification and multiplication either with the aid of technology or embodied practices (see *Multiplication vis a vis amplification*) that refuses the dominant ways of establishing presence; in the patriarchal democracy there is a fear of ugly forms of address which are connected to the female body _ blood, birth, death, mourning &c_ and other dark aspects and passions. These are forms of vocalization which are excluded public discourse which centers on “self-control” and “reason”. Such things are creating noise and disorder and "have to be kept" silent according to the patriarchal norms.

*This thesis comprisesseries of small 6 essays that will be reconfigured in the thesis : “ the monstrosity…”. All these essays have in common the separation between private and public; gender separation; the individual and collective insofar as they relate to the voice and how the voice is mediated from the past times to today*
