Claudia Cerulo offers a meticulous, auditory feminist reading of “oto”-biographical literary texts. She highlights the ties between listening and writing, between the literary “silent voice” and the pre-verbal voice of the other. In the footsteps of authors who have disputed the “oculocentric” philosophical tradition, Cerulo argues that acoustic perception is not an accessory, peripheral, and decorative element in the works of authors like Canetti, Ginzburg, and Sarraute. While asking us to pay attention to, not only the feminist voice of the self in the text, but also the other voice of the text, Cerulo suggests that what has long been characterized as “motherly” is ready for a change of paradigm. * Olivier Morel, Associate Professor of Film Studies, University of Notre Dame, USA *
