Milczenie i nie-milczenie współczesności
Silence and Non-Silence of Contemporaneity

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the characteristics of the relationship between the so-called piercing silence (individual and collective) and non-silence, which is understood as the breaking of silence. Three issues are focused on from this perspective: the problem of the contemporary word crisis (which dates back as far as the turn of the 19th century); the issues of the tensions between silence and language in view of the ‘linguistic turn’ in the second half of the 20th century and its consequences in the humanities; the connection between silence and the non-anthropocentric approach in cultural studies.
