Drawing upon his personal experience of glottal block stuttering as a point of departure, Ellis explores the complexities of dysfluency, opacity, and refusal, recognizing them as openings for new relational possibilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume, stemming from Ellis's essay \"The Clearing: Music, Dysfluency, Blackness, and Time,\" published in 2020 in the Journal of Interdisciplinary Voice Studies (Volume 5, Issue 2), seeks to transcribe and translate his investigation across genres and media. Through the written word, Ellis poses the intriguing question: How can a book bear the trace of music, and the racialized, disabled body? Can a book transcend its mere manuscript form and become a glottoscript, a script that captures the essence of vocal expression?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEllis's work opens up a space for profound theoretical, historical, and lyrical thinking, inviting readers to engage with the complexities of liberation. By exploring the intersections of stuttering, blackness, and music, he challenges the established norms and power structures that govern our lives. Through his lyrical and poetic language, Ellis invites us to reimagine the possibilities for resistance, resilience, and connection in the face of oppressive forces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume serves as a testament to Ellis's intellectual prowess and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. It offers a valuable contribution to the fields of voice studies, disability studies, and cultural analysis, inviting readers to explore the untapped potential of dysfluency, opacity, and refusal as tools for resistance and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 754g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 429 x 400 x 16 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781735924250\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JJJJJerome Ellis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44093541646586,"sku":"9781735924250","price":17.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_6cc16299-982a-4a50-8ead-1d225eda11e8.jpg?v=1646831071","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-clearing-9781735924250","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
