Abstract
This article examines the position of voice as standing beside culture in a manner similar to Wittgensteins notion of the soul standing beside the body and meaning standing next to the word. While the article takes off from the realm of the imaginary in which the figure of the woman standing between the zone of two deaths is privileged since it draws forceful attention to uniqueness of being, it dwells at length in the realm of everyday life. Here it is shown that it is for the patient work of the repair of relationships within which poisonous knowledge has entered. The weaving of voice into the everyday concerns of cultural meanings enables us to see a kind of healing that allows the ‘souling’ of culture.
