What work does silence perform in culture and society? 🔍🔇
Across literature, media, and political discourse, silence emerges as both a mechanism of oppression and a resource for resistance, introspection, and expression. Its ambivalence invites new critical and #interdisciplinary approaches.
The next conference, “Hush! Practising Silence in Literature and Culture” will be held at FRIAS 15–17 April 2026. Scholars are invited to explore various forms and affordances of silence in #Anglophone literatures and media, addressing the intentions, drawbacks, and potentialities, implicated in instances and mediations of silence.
By integrating “silent discussions” and other reflective formats, participants will also engage with silence as a method of academic discourse.

Long shot but let's try for international reach (RTs welcome)
A friend is writing an English language #guidebook to #Geneva, #Switzerland. I imagine that #anglophone #expats may not think to visit local - #francophone - bookshops.
What's a good way to reach English speakers in the #international sector? #Newspaper? Bulletin? #Forum? #VisitGeneva #Suisse #Romande
