Abstract:

Silencing is not only a physically coercive act. It is also an act of
language involving forms of selection, representation and
compliance. Discourse and Silencing weaves together theories and
examples of discourse from different disciplines in order to put
forward a theory of silencing in language: that discursive systems
filter, represent and displace types of knowledge into other forms of
expression.  Each chapter of the book analyses examples of silencing
through discourse in various social and political fields. The examples
cover courtroom trials, government censorship, domestic violence,
marital conversations, penal institutions, news media, and political
rhetoric. They cover societies ranging from Eastern and Central
Europe, Canada and the U.S. to New Zealand and Japan. The contributors
clarify the difference between chosen silences and the silencing that,
as a practice, seeks to limit, alter or de-legitimise another's
discourse. The book also examines the continuous resistances and
shifts in discourse and silencing within the social and political
frameworks in which interlocutors negotiate their relations to each
other.
