Owner's Voice

Mladen Dollar, one of the founders of the Slovenian school of psychoanalysis together with Slavoj Zizek, makes a very original and stimulating contribution from the psychoanalysis front to the debate that has been brought to the agenda of philosophy with Derrida's "phonocentrism" theory in recent years. Although Lacan said, "voice is one of the most prominent embodiments of the psychoanalytic object (that is, objet a)," Dollar actually brings to the fore an issue that has always been overshadowed in psychoanalysis compared to the gaze: voice.

Sound has generally been viewed in the philosophical tradition as either a vehicle for meaning or (as in music) a source of aesthetic admiration. In addition to these, Dollar claims that we can look at sound as an object that is the lever of thought. A comprehensive theory of voice by addressing voice as an object at many different levels (linguistics of voice, metaphysics of voice, paradoxical relationship between voice and body, ethics of voice and of course the voice of conscience, the importance of voice and purity in politics and law, uses of voice in Freud and Kafka, etc.). is developing.
