Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht is a prominent cultural theorist and professor of comparative literature at Stanford University, known for his exploration of the ephemeral nature of voices in human experience. His recent essay, 'Leben der Stimme', delves into the significance of voices beyond their linguistic meanings, highlighting their role in evoking emotions, creating atmospheres, and establishing connections among individuals.
