INTRODUCTION
“{S}peakers are not political because of what they say, but because they say it to others who share an interactive space of reciprocal exposure”– Adriana Cavarero, For More Than One Voice: Towards a Philosophy of Vocal Expression.

Each voice has a “uniqueness”– an idea proposed by the Italian philosopher and feminist thinker Adriana Cavarero. It is a quality that is found in its particular timbre, and in its interaction with the language it shapes. But how do voices resonate not only in their sound, but also over time? How are they transmitted from one body to another? And how can and do we speak for some-one else?

Resonance and Transmission: from one voice to another considers the voice and its relationship with the speaker and the receiver, including the transformation that occurs during its re-articulation by someone else. Bringing together a new generation of feminist thinkers and contemporary artists, the symposium will consider the intersections between history, politics and the act of speech.
