Ile ciszy w Ciszy?
Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
The article is an attempt to discuss Małgorzata Wojcik and Rafał Żak’s book Cisza and place it in a wider context. The analysis of this work, dealing with different faces and meanings of silence, becomes a point of departure for a wide-ranging story about the significance of silence in the 20th century art, as well as about the necessity of posthumanist perception of silence. The key context for the proposed argument is John Cage’s piece 4,33’’ and the reflections accompanying the American composer during his creation of the work. The latter ones are essential not only for the author of this article but they also constitute a leading motif of the analysed book.
