Voice Lessons: The Seductive Appeal of Vocal Control in Frank Herbert's \Dune\
Frank Herbert's Dune is the bestselling science fiction novel of all time, but the reason for its supremacy is unclear. This article argues that Herbert's narrative treatment of the human voice is a major source of the novel's enduring appeal. In opposition to philosophical explorations that ultimately position the voice as a source of anxiety for speaking subjects, Herbert constructs a fictional world where focus and discipline grant characters control over their otherwise fickle and threatening voices—a product of Herbert's own fascination with the twentieth century's general semantics movement at the time that he wrote Dune. After addressing three major philosophical approaches to the voice (Barthes's grain, Kristeva's chora, and Dolar's object) that resonate with the narrative, this article suggests that Herbert's promotion of vocal control functions as a seductive offering to speaking subjects—one that, if seriously pursued, would destroy the unique pleasures that the voice affords.
