Not content with the often dry tone of academic writing, the author engages a “wayfaring” process that brings together theories of sound, animal, and posthumanist studies in order to change the ways we think about and act with the assemblages of living creatures, things, places, and histories around us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeumark evokes both the literal—the actual voices within the works she examines—and the metaphorical—in a new materialist exploration of voice encompassing human, animal, thing, and assemblages. She engages with artists working with animal sounds and voices; voices of place, placed voices in installation works; voices of technology; and “unvoicing,” disturbances in the image\/voice relationship and in the idea of what voice is. She writes about remixes, the Barbie Liberation Organisation, and breath in Beijing, about cat videos, speaking fences in Australia, and an artist who reads (to) the birds. Finally, she considers ethics and politics, and describes how her own work has shaped her understandings and apprehensions of voice.Series Foreword ix\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments xi\u003cbr\u003e1 Introduction: Voice, Voicetracks, New Materialism 1\u003cbr\u003e2 Animal Tracks: Affect, Aesthetics, Ethics 31\u003cbr\u003e3 Ears to the Ground: Voicing Place 63\u003cbr\u003e4 Technology and Machines Speak (for) Themselves 91\u003cbr\u003e5 Unvoice in Media and the Arts: Voice Going off the Rails 123\u003cbr\u003e6 Tracking Back 157\u003cbr\u003eNotes 171\u003cbr\u003eReferences 183\u003cbr\u003eIndex 201Norie Neumark, a sound and media artist, is Honorary Professorial Fellow at Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne, and Emeritus Professor at La Trobe University in Melbourne.
