Abstract | This chapter takes the idea of ‘voice’ as it communicates stories of conflict and trauma, and reimages place as the ‘site’ from which voice emanates: a complex entanglement of social, political, material, human and non-human forces that differs across the voice of history, the collective voice of a community and voice as emerging from the site of an individual life. Focusing specifically on conflict stories obtained from fieldwork in Aceh, Indonesia, the chapter argues that history and collective remembering may function as Mazzei’s (2016) ‘voice without subject.’ However, in listening to individuals’ stories, ethnographers and oral historians participate in the formation of a voice that is localized at the site of the individual’s life and constructs a new ethical-political relation between storyteller and listener. |
