ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book focuses resistance to law offered by critical legal movement. It attempts to see how a focus on the voice as a sound and vibration of a selfhood rather than a focus on the sign can resist law as an institutionalized, sovereign and already constituted system of power. The book is concerned with the ethical possibilities of a resistance that begins from one's voice and from the awareness of oneself that is capable of avoiding the repetition of resentment and violence. It draws on Adriana Cavarero's work in its focus on the voice. The book demonstrates the importance of the awareness of one's uniqueness and thus self-awareness that comes from speaking in one's own voice. It attempts to juxtapose the voice and the gendered situation of female genital cutting with the voice of objectification in sex work and the legal approach.
