Abstract:

This book explores how silence occurs across languages, literatures
and cultures, fulfilling a wide range of communicative functions. It
examines how silence can be collective or individual, intentional or
unintentional, conveying meanings that extend beyond words and shaping
interaction, perception and expression.
The volume investigates the multifaceted nature of silence from
literary, semiotic and cultural perspectives, weaving together
analyses that reveal its complexity across different media and
contexts. The chapters address silences both within and beyond
interaction, including interaction-like contexts, encompassing such
diverse phenomena as animal silence, the silence of trauma and the
iconic phase of silence.
Taken together, the contributions provide a comprehensive and
multidimensional understanding of silence in auditory and visual forms
of expression, and across varied linguistic and cultural contexts.
