This book focuses on silent media, that is, media that strategically operate in and through silence. Such an approach might seem marginal in an age of media abundance and information saturation, where all physical, social and psychological aspects of our lives are constantly prodded, mined, and commented upon through media information infrastructures, from smartwatches to social media, from surveillance systems to never-ending cycles of breaking news. But it becomes relevant if we define silent media as media that refuse commonly accepted, dominant modes of communication including communication systems and infrastructures, modes of signification and representation, informational codes and modes of collecting, storing, analyzing and distributing information. This book however, distinguishes itself from existing literature on the capacity of media systems to violently or subtly silence (i.e. to symbolically and politically kill by depriving of possibilities of communication) those who do not fit into a particular dominant order. It redefines silence as a key site of action and agency in critical media practice, focusing on silence as the capacity to resist and operate in ways that cannot be captured by dominant media systems.
