The politics of silence /

Chbib, Bachar January 2003 (has links)
Silence has traditionally been analysed in linguistic terms as those moments of non-speech/non-sound interspersed between words and sounds. I will attempt to take this academic reasoning further to deconstruct established notions of silence and incorporate contemporary methods of investigation to arrive at a more viable and dynamic observation of the event. Silence goes beyond this simple dualistic and binary contrast and I believe may reveal itself as negotiator of language, wherein the impossibility of an absolute truth is translated into the imminent. This thesis will be an attempt at a discourse that redefines silence's fleeting site as an impending source for the political as such.

The silent eye: approaches to aporia in modern literature

Wong, Yuk-yin, Bobo., 黃育賢. January 2012 (has links)
This thesis considers silence as a problem that is felt particularly acutely in the modern period. The focus is on the silence caused by a general distrust of the representational ability of language, which has manifold manifestations in modern writings. From the existential turn that implies self-cancellation to the symbolist project to create new symbols, modernist writers display an anxiety to speak the unspeakable. This paper’s approach is to offer a metaphoric reading of the role of the Muse as the giver of knowledge and voice in writing practices, and to identify the cause of silence in the confusion over the two distinctive ideas about the goddess. The roots of such confusion are traced to Plato’s epistemological treatises and his exposition of love, as encapsulated in Phaedrus, in which the superimposition of metaphysical knowledge over physical love introduces the aporia into poetry, or literary writing. Subsequent developments of literature, including that of the modernists’, are subject to this aporetic silence. By tracing the trajectories of epistemology and the representation of love up to the eighteenth century, the work shows how the modern problem of silence is triggered by the duality in Kantian epistemology, which is itself a legacy of Platonic metaphysics. Modern silence, therefore, is studied within the critical framework of such metaphysical background, against the metaphoric representation of transcendental imagination as Mother Wit, and its application to the matter of love. The second half of the paper discusses the various responses to this duality found in the ‘transcendental power of imagination’. In the existential writings that defy analytical reason, and the symbolist writings that react against Romanticism, writers struggle to overcome the gap between subjective and objective realities. They therefore fail to give voice to things and feelings without falling back to obscurity or self-erasure – both producing silence on a semantic level. The paper studies works of Hermann Broch and Samuel Beckett to demonstrate the arrival at this great silence, which, though reached via different paths, is the same aporetic silence contained in Platonic epistemology. By examining two works of J.M. Coetzee, this paper also aims to explore the possibility of breaking this silence by going beyond knowledge, and reengaging the service of another Muse her power of love, physicality, and presence. / published_or_final_version / English / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy

Shibboleth into silence : a commentary on presence in the Hebrew Bible

Paul, Eddie January 1991 (has links)
In the Hebrew Bible, literary patterns of revelation and concealment are based on humanity's initial encounter with God in the Garden of Eden. God asks the question "Where are you?" Adam and Eve reveal themselves by articulating their concealment behind the fig leaf. This paradox effects their exile from Eden, and their progeny must henceforth mediate this paradox in their future verbal intercourse with God. / It is the intention of this work to suggest how in certain textual passages, this paradox is defined and structured according to a literary dichotomy of language and silence. After the exile, biblical characters proclaim their presence before God by uttering a password ("Here I am") which is, in effect, an existential utterance of dialogic reconstruction. Through various literary devices, I hope to show how this "vertical" dialogue is re-established by Adam and Eve's progeny, and how the biblical narrator(s) uses language to show silence as a "phenomenon" of the word.
