Parole #1The Body of the Voice / Stimmkörper (+ CD)

 - Parole #1
Parole #1: The Body of the Voice / Stimmkörper is the first in a series of publications dealing with the materiality of language and highlighting the theme from various perspectives. This first issue is devoted to the voice and its “corporeality”. This involves both the relationship of the voice to the body that forms it and which it leaves in the process of speaking, and the question of the extent to which the voice forms a body for itself or slips into a new body. Including an audio CD with sound examples, this publication is a collection of texts and works by international artists and scientists dealing with the “fleeting stuff” of language in an attempt to grasp it, make it visible and endow it with a body.
