Voice in Soviet Culture of the 1920s

There have been disciplines in cultural studies that study the voice since the 70's - as a corporal, social and psychoanalytic phenomenon. This study, based on the developed methodology, approaches the voice from the side of Soviet Studies and seeks to highlight the ideological, ethnic and political dimension of the phenomenon of voice. It was in the 1920s, during the cultural reassembly of human corporeality, when new forms and methods of understanding the voice, working with the voice and implicit sensation of the voice were born. They are revealed in numerous social figures, who, one way or another, work with voice on a professional basis - musicians, doctors, broadcasters, actors, poets and politicians. The 1920s were a time of radical artistic gestures, the authors of which fully comprehended the discursiveness of their works, and combined metaphorical dimension of the voice with it's bodily expression, continuing the traditions of the past in certain ways, but completely breaking them in others. This study will be devoted to the analysis of such artistic and journalistic gestures, educational and scientific materials for “voice professionals,” as well as recordings, which have survived to this day.
