Conclusion

A different account of voice, object a voice contra ‘the object voice’, is presented here. The second chapter, which most forcefully levels criticism and elaborates departures from Dolar’s account of voice, is at times nigh on a retort to the widely referenced yet seldom critiqued A Voice and Nothing More. Indeed, this project is at times an intervention. The contention laid out is to confront the body where Dolar does not, seeking not only to provide an alternative conception of the Lacanian voice qua object but also, by addressing the body, arguing for an implicit horror.
