The Race of Sound, by Nina Sun Eidsheim: What Good Work Does and Why It Matters
2022
Overview
Lipsitz talks about Nina Sun Eidsheim's The Race of Sound. The Race of Sound illuminates the dual meanings ascribed to the word \"voice.\" From the standpoint of musicology and physiology, voice refers to the sounds produced in the larynx. From the standpoint of politics and rhetoric, voice connotes a particular opinion or attitude. Eidsheim's intervention helps us to discern and comprehend new ways of understanding both meanings of the word, as well as the relations that connect them. Although physical voices receive recognition and praise for putatively authentic and original qualities, Eidsheim demonstrates that vocal performances actually transmit a set of culturally learned sounds, figures, and devices. Similarly, giving voice to ideas, opinions, arguments, and analyses requires resorting to a reservoir of patterned acts of speaking, writing, and persuading that has been developed within the social life of language.
