Silence and Silencing - Olgahan Bakşi Yalçın - Nobel Akademik Yayıncılık

This book brings together a selection of six chapters that reflect silence and silencing in texts from American literature and culture. While silence can also be perceived as power, particularly silence as a form of oppression is of interest in a majority of the contributions. Considering the different forms of silence presented in each chapter, our book aims to contribute to the existing academic discourses of silence and silencing connected to a variety of conflicts in the fields of feminist and queer studies.
