Abstract
This essay explores the role that a concept of voice plays in mediating cultural generation processes. Based on the theoretical concept of polyphonization (Bakhtin, 1984), the essay explicates voice's characteristics from dialogical perspectives and proposes the use of voice to describe multiplicity and relationality, which are the key concepts in culture and communication studies. An analysis of different voices in multi-cultures using an incident of "Ground Zero mosque" becomes less constraint through identifying voices' cultural (non-)resonance to transcend fixed boundaries created by entities like individuals, groups, and nations.
