More about the book
Focusing on the concept of silence, the book explores its significance in modern literature and philosophy through the works of Jean-Luc Nancy, Roland Barthes, Samuel Beckett, and Wallace Stevens. It categorizes silence into apophasis, linked to theological ineffability, and reticence, connected to phenomenology and the experience of listenership. Through interconnected readings, it analyzes themes of broken silence and shared silence, as well as Stevens' poetic engagement with the unsayable, revealing the depth and complexity of silence in literary expression.
