| Abstract: | Involving the voice of others is a major concern for organisations. However, these attempts have often focused on giving voice without attending to different abilities to speak or internal power dynamics. Consequently, integrating others' voices constantly risks appropriation. While some approaches have focused on individual motivations to ethically engage, post-individualist studies on inclusion have argued for considering embodied modes of relating. I contribute to this literature by offering the concept of echoing to analyse practices of engaging with the Other's voice. Echoing interlinks three dimensions: post-individualism, corporeal generosity and the shared world. With the empirical case of participatory art projects, which produce artworks based on the Other's stories, I will demonstrate how ethical encounters build on (a) disrupted transmission of the voice, integrating multiple actors and taking on the form of a response, as well as (b) practices of world-making, which continuously co-produce the shared world of this encounter.
