Przyjemność gardła i śliny. Wokalna ontologia niepowtarzalności Adriany Cavarero

Zabrzewska, Adrianna

Abstract

Zabrzewska discusses Adriana Cavarero’s philosophy of voice as well as three categories that are key to this project: relationality, pleasure and uniqueness. By replacing phonocentrism with the devocalisation of logos, Cavarero searches for an alternative for the mute voice that listens to itself. This alternative takes the shape of the embodied, relational voice, the only voice that resounds on the maternal scene and opens a space for political action. The article concludes by outlining problematic aspects of Cavarero’s project. Zabrzewska indicates a potential direction for the development of feminist theory of voice, one where uniqueness would go hand in hand with not being obvious.
