> Silence fascinates and, in the Foucauldian 
> sense, produces and amplifies other voices, 
> interests and investments. Silence is a foil for 
> cultural anxieties. This panel will focus on 
> close textual readings of the silent/mute figure 
> and the effects of that silence on other 
> characters in the larger narrative. Examples 
> could be from, among others, films such as /The 
> Piano, Sweet and Lowdown, Johnny Belinda; /books 
> such as /The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, The Seal 
> Wife/; or cultural icons like ?Deep Throat.? 
> These are just examples of the sort of focus I 
> am looking for. Others are most welcome.

> Deadline: September 30^th , 2009
