Beschreibung:
Silence is normally perceived as an absence and a withholding. The practice of silence turns it into an instrument of power. This volume examines how silence works in the perception and manipulation of sound, of speech, and of perspective in areas, such as music, language, race, work dislocations, and the construction of anthropological subjects.
