An evocation for attentive listeningWhat might we take from a consideration of listening and response? It is myhope that this text has offered an invitation for an attentive listening, not onlyto the content of speech, but to its soundings, an awareness of the ways inwhich class, economics, culture, race, and gender effect our communication.As we have seen, dynamics of power and how we relate to one another find anarticulation through the voice, they shape the voice and they affect the capacityfor listening and response. The inflections and modulations of the voicecontain forces that we must become more conscious of. In his discussions ofavant-garde sound poetry, Félix Guattari writes that as discordant sounds ofthe voice break and interrupt the expected rhythms of speech, they also breakand interrupt normalised capitalist ways of being, they act as a means of renewal.30 If an acknowledgement is made of the effect of vocal characteristicsand the social, political and ethical forces they contain, then what is requiredis a dedication and attention to the soundings of our speech, perhaps at timesautonomous from its content. Especially when what is desired is the openingof new spaces and the finding of ways to speak in common, with convivialityand with care.Recording 13. ConclusionEndnotes1.
