'Silence is also meaning'

 

Silence is a word in danger of extinction in practical life. Any dictionary, of course, includes it. But when you read the definition it sounds like a utopia, it is hard to believe that it can be applied in everyday life. Silence is not just the absence of noise. We have almost forgotten this. With this transcendental statement Alain Corbin begins his essay “History of silence”. Because noise always seems to refer to auditory noise, but we forget that noise can also be visual. The overexposure of images is such that the Ludovico method, instead of being a shock therapy, has become the usual way of consuming everything, including culture.
