WORKSHOP ON (POST)CRITICAL INTERPRETATIONS OF VOICE

Voice, as material and embodied in empirical expression, its different positionalities and the relationship between voice-centered-analysis, writing and textuality is under-examined within interpretive consumer research. Yet it plays a disruptive role in representing justice-centered discourses inviting readers to consider what could be other/wise. In this workshop we will reflect on how as researchers, we may (unintentionally) incarcerate voice in our empirical texts, ventriloquize, consign it to metaphorical basics, discipline it through language and subordinate it to thought. Despite offering no resolution, post critical interpretations infuse difficulty and difference into empirical analysis of voice by merging the political with the aesthetic to produce alternative representations to write for the Other.
