'At the core of Creative Writing is the concept of voice. Far from being easily
elucidated, this concept becomes even more problematic when a creative work is
performed, foregrounding as it does in the performance, the speaker's accent. Whether
this accent is deemed 'regional', 'foreign', or purely 'idiosyncratic', it embodies the
grain of the voice. This paper seeks to define the nature of the accent with respect to the
voice by utilising Lacan's concept of the split between the eye and the gaze as
expounded in Seminar XI, speculating that the invocatory drive which partakes of the
aural field summons more archaic material than the scopic field does. By dint of the
creative artefact, this paper exposes psychoanalysis' complicity with the conventions it
aims to subvert, and situates the speaking subject in an anti-conventional discourse the
listener is compelled to encounter.' (Author's abstract)
