#5: Silence is a text easily misread
Thursday, February 12th, 2009
Silence as not speaking, opposed speaking, beyond speaking, a part of speaking, as loud protest, as consession to wrongdoings, silence as wisdom, as foolishness, as a form of confrontation, as a form of hiding or running away.
Philosophy, religion and culture have always given silence, or keeping quiet more then one simple role, and this week we will check how popular lyricism deals with silence, quiet, shutting up, their mischivious nature, and their relations with talking.
