The Arduous and the Ordinary
This article aims to chart out a cultural history of the voice in conversation in the nineteenth century. Often understood as a period of decline of the ‘art’ of conversation, as it was defined in the eighteenth century (and studied by historians of the period), the nineteenth century was witness to a shift away from conscious cultivation. Conversation, in the nineteenth century, became the counterpoint to more formalized modes of speech like ora…
Fairness and fluency
The turn of the twentieth century saw a significant change in the accessibility of political debate: various reforms made the Second Chamber open to religious, ethnic and gendered 'others'. These newcomers would eventually contribute to changes in political practice. Throughout the second half of the nineteenth century, however, their gradual inclusion in political speech in extra-parliamentary spaces was also marked by a process of assimilation …
Vocal recognition before recording
This paper aims to sketch out a cultural history of documenting, classifying and identifying voices in the nineteenth century. Focusing on a period before technologies like the spectogram became widely available, I demonstrate that experts in this period already harboured many of the ideas and ambitions that would later drive the development of technologies in speech recognition and the voiceprint. First, the idea that each human voice was unique…

"Missä sinä kuvittelet olevasi? – Var tror du att du är? – Where do you think you are?" Tämä on keskeinen kysymys Kansallismuseon Toista Maata -näyttelyssä. Näyttely tarjoaa uuden tulkinnan Suomen historiasta keskiajalta aina 1800-luvun alkuun. Tai kenties kyseessä on pikemminkin näkökulma suomalaisten historiaan, tai Suomen asukkaiden historiaan; määrittely jää hiukan avoimeksi

Introduction
This introduction outlines how the authors of the present special issue share not an eloquence-centred but a more encompassing, interactive, embodied and experience-oriented interpretation of political performance as their heuristic prism. Through this lens, they analyze vocal expectations and deviations in political debates that took place in a few different national and imperial contexts of the long nineteenth century. Their approach reveals wh…
Voices that Matter
How do we thoroughly historicize the voice, or integrate it into our historical research, and how do we account for the mundane daily practices of voice . . . the constant talking, humming, murmuring, whispering, and mumbling that went on off stage, in living rooms, debating clubs, business meetings, and on the streets? Work across the humanities has provided us with approaches to deal with aspects of voices, vocality, and their sounds. This arti…

Women’s voices in educational manuals. The gendered sounds of speech therapy, song and education in Europe c.1830–1900
This article calls for a heightened attention to women’s voices in the history of education, arguing that the articulation of gender is not only ‘legible’ as bodily inscription, but audible within the educational soundscape as well. The voice and its gendered attributes are taken literally here, as acoustic practice. I explore women’s contributions to vocal education in the nineteenth century, as well as the impact these had on women’s voices. Lo…
Educational soundscapes
In order to introduce the special issue on “educational soundscapes” the editors, first of all, explore the intimate link between silence, sound and the production of social meaning. An acoustic history of education, so it is argued, cannot solely focus on silence nor can it solely focus on sound. After having demonstrated the necessity of taking into account sounds and silences at the same time, the term “educational soundscapes” consecutively i…
Silence as borderland
At the heart of the nineteenth-century educational soundscape lies a paradox. Whilst “modern” classrooms generally strived for orderly silence, the goal of its educational practices was the production of competent “citizens”. Middle-class boys in particular were expected to acquire a voice fit for business, the professions, or even (political) public speech whilst quietly listening to a teacher. This silence within the educational institution has…
Intercession, Emancipation, and a Space In Between
S-s-s-syncopation
The modern history of disability, and of speech impediments in particular, has largely been written as one of medical discourse and (more recently) of social and cultural imaginations. The pathology of speech appears as an embodied, but ultimately intangible, issue due to the transient nature of sound itself. Once produced, it disappears, and seems to escape memory. In this text, stammering is approached as an object of material history. Drawing …

Speaking Like Intelligent Men
This article focuses on the acoustic aspect of parliamentary government in nineteenth-century Britain, demonstrating the continued importance of speech and audibility for representatives in the reformed House of Commons. Notions of what constituted a proper parliamentary voice changed as electoral reforms, the rise of the "fourth estate," and scientific discoveries in laryngology influenced evaluations of political speech. Most notably, rhetorica…
Masculinity and Nationhood, 1830–1910
A history of what it meant to be a man, and a citizen of an emerging nation throughout the nineteenth century. This book not only relates how Belgians were taught how to move and fight, but also how t
Men in Space
With the ‘operatic’ revolution, and the diplomatic, military and political consequences it entailed, a new nation was effectively born in 1830. Not only was a new and independent government (including a king) to be installed, the institutions of a modern nation state had to be built as well. In this chapter, three particular institutions are introduced, viewed through the lens of their architectural construction: parliament, the barracks and the …
Manoeuvring men
This article uses the case study of the Belgian grandes manoeuvres of 1882 and 1883 to explore the ways in which self-defined ‘all male’ spaces can contribute to the study and deconstruction of historical masculinities. Using the manoeuvres of the Belgian army at the end of the nineteenth century as a theatre of (military as well as civilian) corporeal and discursive practices, the simultaneous enactment of masculinity and nation is analysed. The…
Legal or Just? Law, Ethics, and the Double Standard in the Nineteenth-Century Divorce Court
On January 24, 1885, at 9:30 in the morning, a woman from the small rural village of Saint Laurent in East Flanders entered the Palace of Justice of Ghent. Pregnant with her eighth child, she had fled from her husband and was filing for a divorce. That morning, she was led to a small room—the office of the judge of the Regional Court—and was standing alone with four men whom she barely knew and did not understand because they spoke French. Her hu…
