Despre tăcere şi noile abordări din studiile culturale
On silence and the new approaches within cultural studies

Summary/Abstract: This study develops the research initiated in the volume titled În umbra unui ecou: tăcere, arhetip, recipienţă (2021). Unlike the latter, though, which focused on investigating the notion of silence relying on keywords such as the collective unconscious specific to analytical psychology, the present study captures silence in its relationship – either antinomic or complementary – with language and all the notions closely „escorting“ it: sound, noise, scream, whisper, logorrhoea, etc. It is a plea from the field of cultural studies, extracting its theories from the most recent challenges within neurosciences, phenomenology, and performing arts. The author does not aim to reach the same conclusions using another intellectual tool. On the contrary, he attempts to shed a different light on silence, thus providing readers with both certitudes and mostly dilemmas, inviting them to better self-knowledge.
