Présentation

Silence(s) : revue interdisciplinaire gives an account of the current research on silence and on all the “shadow” facts and notions in the field of humanities and social sciences; these topics, because they are traditionally posed as the opposite, inverse, or “nothingness” of investigations, disappear from research results, even though they document in their very existence crucial relations to social reality. The journal intends to propose thematic issues on silence, absence, emptiness, untranslatable, deaf studies, or those related to the Muted Group Theory, whiteness, awaiting, intervals, nothingness, negation. Scientific articles would be published along with opinion posts and free reflections, reviews, and portraits, already proposed in the research blog Silence(s) to disseminate the original publications on silence, while opening new research perspectives in the humanities and social sciences. This interdisciplinary journal, also open to the so-called “hard” sciences, intends to disseminate original works in the exploration of these subjects left in the blind spot of research, and to promote collaborative work at the interface of our European, international, and global societies.
