The cramped confines of the traditional media simply don't, or won't, permit the energetic multivocality that is the defining characteristic of the blogosphere. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Projects: looking at longitudal diffusion mechanisms and the role of public v. private orientations; multivocality in grant applications — how do you pitch the same project to the Defense Department and the National Endowment for the Arts at the same time? ❋ Rebecca Tushnet (2009)
IAN : So, do you, Can, promise to love, cherish, and respect the multivocality of Ayfer, till death do you part, and do you also promise not to use your drinking glass as a shaving cup, not to throw solids down the sink, and to switch the bloody modem off after use? ❋ MICHAEL BALTER (2005)
IAN : And do you, Ayfer, promise to love, cherish, and respect the multivocality of Can, till death do you part, and do you also promise not to use your glass as a toothbrush holder, to always put another beer in the refrigerator when you take a cold one out, unless of course you like warm beer, and to always throw used toilet paper into the bin provided and not into the toilet? ❋ MICHAEL BALTER (2005)
Likewise Ian and the post-processualists had their own specialized jargon: “Material culture is meaningfully constituted,” “multivocality,” and “context,” among other bits of lingo. ❋ MICHAEL BALTER (2005)

Last night I wrote myself a note from the geek perspective about "I think the challenge of Catal is combining the reflexive, the uncertain, the indeterminate, with the rigorous requirements of structured recording in a database; and perhaps more importantly, convincing people that it's possible to design to allow for uncertainty and for multivocality" but in the light of day that sounds like pretentious tosh that could only have been thought up in the middle of the night. ❋ Mia (2007)
After the "nonfiction novel," after the New Journalism, after several decades in which some of America's most vivid writing about real events was seen to be in thrall to the techniques of novelists, September 11 offered a few hours when American novelists could only sit at home while journalism taught them fierce lessons in multivocality, point of view, the structure of plot, interior monologue, the pressure of history, the force of silence, and the uncanny. ❋ O'Hagan, Andrew (2007)
Today I feel much better and although I still believe all the things that I said yesterday I would probably word them a bit more circumspectly, never mind this is multivocality in action as we get my views on different days and I shouldn’t censor the person I was yester-day. ❋ MICHAEL BALTER (2005)
As for Ian, dismissing the goddess group’s arguments out of hand went counter to that cornerstone of post-processual archaeology, the notion of multivocality. ❋ MICHAEL BALTER (2005)
