Abstract
Vox dei, vox demonium marks a cursory attempt to consider a kind of “sound thinking” largely singular to horror film. The essay focuses in particular on the status of “metaphysical subjectivity” as it is modulated by the “sound thinking” of such horror films as The Exorcist, The Amityville Horror, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, amongst others dealing specifically with audio conceptualizations of demonic possession and invocation.
Résumé
Vox dei, vox demonium constitue une brève tentative de considérer une sorte de « pensée sonore » (sound thinking) qui soit particulière au film d’horreur. Cet article se penche principalement sur le statut de « subjectivité métaphysique » telle qu’elle est modulée par la « pensée sonore » de films d’horreur comme L’exorciste, Amityville : La maison du Diable et L’exorcisme d’Émilie Rose, parmi tant d’autres qui traitent spécifiquement de conceptualisations audios de la possession démoniaque et de l’invocation.
