Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, 2001.

This dissertation attempts to account for the place that sound occupies in our contemporary critical theory and the modern literature that influenced it. By first focusing on the importance given to sight in our interpretations of psychoanalytic theory from Freud to Lacan, I would hope to show how the sonic, though muted, still persists in those original texts. By turning an ear to them we might eke out an explication of identity that is more material and materialized because, much like the literary figure of Echo that has been erased from our tales of Narcissism, that identity is defined by the experience of our bodies and minds as substances that repeat the vibrations of the airy matter about us. Metaphors of repetition take the place of reflection, and the mirroring effects of speculation begin to lose their guarded certitude.

520 $a This dissertation attempts to account for the place that sound occupies in our contemporary critical theory and the modern literature that influenced it. By first focusing on the importance given to sight in our interpretations of psychoanalytic theory from Freud to Lacan, I would hope to show how the sonic, though muted, still persists in those original texts. By turning an ear to them we might eke out an explication of identity that is more material and materialized because, much like the literary figure of Echo that has been erased from our tales of Narcissism, that identity is defined by the experience of our bodies and minds as substances that repeat the vibrations of the airy matter about us. Metaphors of repetition take the place of reflection, and the mirroring effects of speculation begin to lose their guarded certitude.
520 $a This study also emphasizes the reified nature of all perception in modernism, particularly in the fields of sight and sound. By focusing on how sight attempts to manage and control the objects that it tries to perceive, and then by lending an ear to how acoustic perception tries and fails to grasp the rebounding sounds around us, I would hope to reveal how the modern subject experiences these two types of alienation differently.
520 $a The works of Freud, Lacan, Kafka, Conrad, and many others, record our perceptual experiences as near impossibilities; nevertheless, even in impossibility and alienation, there is an insensible element that speaks through this quandary. There is, in the song of Kafka's sirens, the commands of Lacan's object voice, and the nonsensical beating of language in Stein and Joyce, a kind of rhythm that will not allow us to dance out of our perceptual alienation, but just might give us some clue as to how far we are from what we think we do when we listen.
