The human voice does not deceive. The one who is speaking is inevitably revealed by the singular sound of her voice, no matter what she says. We take this fact for grantedfor example, every time someone asks, over the telephone, Who is speaking? and receives as a reply the familiar utterance, Its me. Starting from the given uniqueness of every voice, Cavarero rereads the history of philosophy through its peculiar evasion of this embodied uniqueness. She shows how this historyalong with the fields it comprehends, such as linguistics, musicology, political theory, and studies in oralitymight be grasped as the devocalization of Logos, as the invariable privileging of semantike over phone, mind over body. Female figuresfrom the Sirens to the Muses, from Echo to opera singersprovide a crucial counterhistory, one in which the embodied voice triumphs over the immaterial semantic. Reconstructing this counterhistory, Cavarero proposes a politics of the voice wherein the ancient bond between Logos and politics is reconfigured, and wherein what matters is not the communicative content of a given discourse, but rather who is speaking.
