This book is an ambitious attempt to provide insights into and the necessary context for the field of research on cultural practices where silence can be utilized as both a tool of oppression and an instrument of resistance. By combining different approaches, this book's authors contribute to forming a new interdisciplinary research field where silence is seen as both a tool of oppression and an instrument of resistance. In this regard, the volume will be of interest not only to specialists in cultural, art, queer, or gender studies, but also to philosophers, historians, psychologists, and sociologists, who can find in the texts fresh ideas and new approaches to the study of the phenomenon of silence, which, despite its comprehensive nature, has not yet been adequately reflected in the research literature. -- Aleksandr Veselov, in The February Journal, 01-02: 161-170.
