The author argues that these two formations of voice are mutually constitutive and aligned with modern ideologies of democracy and neoliberal economic projects.  This ethnography is set during an extraordinary period in Nepal's history that has seen a relatively peaceful 1990 revolution that re-established democracy, a Maoist civil war, and the massacre of the royal family.  These dramatic changes have been accompanied by the proliferation of intimate and political discourse in the expanding public sphere, making the figure of voice ever more critical to an understanding of emerging subjectivity, structural change and cultural mediation. 410 0$aSouth Asia across the disciplines. 606 $aMass media$zNepal$zKathmandu 606 $aCommunication$xPolitical aspects$zNepal$zKathmandu 610 $a1990 revolution. 610 $aasia scholars. 610 $aasian studies. 610 $acivic empowerment. 610 $acollective agency. 610 $acultural mediation. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $aeconomic change. 610 $aemotional experiences. 610 $aethnographers. 610 $aethnography. 610 $ahistorians. 610 $ainteractive technologies. 610 $ainteriority. 610 $aintimate voice. 610 $akathmandu. 610 $amaoist civil war. 610 $amedia studies. 610 $amediation. 610 $amodern history. 610 $amodern ideologies. 610 $aneoliberalism. 610 $anepal. 610 $apersonal life. 610 $apolitical history. 610 $apolitical turmoil. 610 $apolitical voice. 610 $apublic intimacy. 610 $apublic speech. 610 $asouth asia. 615 0$aMass media 615 0$aCommunication$xPolitical aspects 676 $a302.2095496 686 $aLB 39390$2rvk 700 $aKunreuther$b Laura$f1969-$01685699 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823026203321 996 $aVoicing subjects$94058026 997 $aUNINA
