Description
Performing Silence is a groundbreaking exploration of silence as a performative act in contemporary society. Trina Nileena Banerjee investigates how silence operates beyond mere absence of sound, examining it as a deliberate communicative strategy, a form of resistance, and a cultural practice.
The work delves into various contexts where silence becomes significant—from theatrical performances to everyday social interactions—demonstrating how silence shapes identity, power dynamics, and meaning-making processes. Banerjee challenges conventional understandings of silence as passivity, instead revealing its active role in cultural production and social critique.
Published by Oxford University Press, this scholarly work offers critical insights for students, academics, and practitioners interested in performance studies, cultural theory, and communication. The book engages with contemporary debates about representation, marginalization, and the politics of visibility.
