When asked deaf students to journal about voice, saw the following themes:
muse: the internal voice is a guide
message: “voice was either feelings or knowledge which they wanted to communicate to others”
medium: “written voices bore the stamp of their personalities; the style of their writing…was a distinctive and recognizable voice.”
p. 184:
Conclusions:
“First, students associated voice with dialogeu, whether they talked to themselves or to another in letters or journals. This is consistent with current thinking on the nature of voice informed by Bakhtin (Todorov 1984), where voice, the speaking personality, anticipates the answering word.”
p. 188:
Bakhtin “the world is full of other people’s words”
Bakhtin “acknowledges that we develop, compromise, and even masquerade our voices from necessity. All that we can lose, then, is the desire to examine them.”
