I See a Voice
What is so special about the human voice? The relationship between the ear and the voice is unique among the senses. While we cannot emit light or smell or flavour at will, we control, unconsciously or consciously, the sounds that come from our mouths. For this reason, many thinkers, most notably Freud, have seen the voice as the outward expression of the soul.

It notes that within and outside deaf communities, there is a need for an account of the new concept of deaf culture – one which enables readers to assess its place alongside work on other minority cultures and multilingual discourses.
