Truth is concrete

Spoken Karaoke invites us to perform political speeches as we would ordinarily perform songs in a karaoke bar. Some of the texts available one almost knows by heart (“I have a dream,” “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall,” etc); others may be less well known. Socrates’ trial speech stands next to Sojourner Truth’s “Ain’t I a Woman,” or Qaddafi in front of the United Nations … Political speeches are, after all, songs of persuasion, argument, motivation or consolidation.
