Abstract

This essay suggests a working hypothesis on the extralinguistic dimension of the human voice. The material under consideration belongs both to performance art (Marina Abramović) and to philosophy (Plato). The speech, framed within acontext that would open an archaeological track (E. Melandri, M. Foucault) in theatricality, concerns aesthetics. The voice shows the inner opacity of the ontological discourse: it becomes the empty place, or rather, the quantum vacuum of presence. It is a non-prescriptive voice, excessive of the philosophical practices of taking consciousness, the anticipation of traditional dualisms (subject / object, conscious / unconscious, orality / writing).
