Book Description
Ventriloquism, the art of "seeming to speak where one is not", speaks so resonantly to our
contemporary technological condition. We now think nothing of hearing voices--our own and
others'--propelled over intercoms, cellphones, and answering machines. Yet, why can none of us
hear our own recorded voice without wincing? Why is the telephone still full of such spookiness
and erotic possibility? And why does the magician's trick of speaking through a dummy entertain
as well as disturb us? These are the kind of questions which impel Dumbstruck, Steven Connor's
wide-ranging, relentlessly inquisitive history of ventriloquism and the disembodied voice. Connor
follows his subject from its early beginnings in ancient Israel and Greece, through the outcries of
early Christian writers against the unholy (and, they believed, obscenely produced) practices of
pagan divination. Surprisingly, he finds that women like the sibyls of Delphi were the key voices
in these male-dominated times. Connor then turns to the aberrations of the voice in mysticism,
witchcraft and possession, and the strange cultural obsession with the vagrant figure of the
ventriloquist, newly conceived as male rather than female, that flourished during the
Enlightenment. He retells the stories of some of the most popular and versatile ventriloquists and
polyphonists of the nineteenth century, and investigates the survival of ventriloquial delusions and
desires in spiritualism and the 'vocalic uncanny' of technologies like the telephone, radio, film,
and the internet. Brimming with anecdote and insight, Dumbstruck is a provocative archeology of
a seemingly trivial yet profoundly relevant presence in human history. Its pages overflow with
virtuoso philosophical and psychological reflections on the problems and astonishments, the
raptures and absurdities of the unhoused voice.
