<p>The issue of the senses and sensual perception in Michel Foucault's thought has been a source of prolific discussion already for quite some time. Often Foucault has been accused of overemphasizing the centrality of sight and has been portrayed as yet another thinker representative of Western <em>ocularcentricism.</em> This innovative new work seeks to challenge this portrait by presenting an alternative view of Foucault as a thinker for whom the <em>sound</em> <em> voice</em> <em> hearing</em> <em> and listening</em> the <em>auditory-sonorous</em> actually did matter.</p> <p></p>
