Voice
Kid A In Alphabet Land Hears the Voice!
The voice is not reducible to speech or meaning. It is an object that exceeds language while making language possible, persisting beyond what is said.
In Lacanian theory, the voice functions as one of the partial objects. It carries an intrusive quality, capable of compelling attention even when detached from sense.
The voice thus occupies a strange position between inside and outside. It is heard as coming from elsewhere, yet it resonates intimately within the subject.
Within Kid A In Alphabet Land, the Voice lingers after words fade. Kid A learns that what speaks most powerfully is not always what can be understood.
