Socially Contructed Silence Eviatar Zerubavel, a professor of sociology at Rutgers University… is an expert on the sociology of socially constructed silence, which, he says, is as much a part of our communication as speech, ‘like a substance that fills in the pauses and cracks and crannies of our discourse. ’” Marshall, George (2014 -08 -19). Don't Even Think About It (p. 82).
Meta-Silence “I ask Zerubavel how we can study a silence— how we can measure something that people do not recognize as being absent. He puts it this way: ‘We have not talked at all about zoological gardens. That is not because we are deliberately avoiding it; the subject has simply not come up in our conversation. I would call this inattention because we can easily explain why we have not talked about it. But disattention is something very different. That is when we deliberately fail to notice something and cannot even explain that silence. ” --Marshall, George (2014 -08 -19). Don't Even Think About It (p. 82).
The Elephant In the Room ‘Climate change isn’t the elephant in the room; it’s the elephant we’re all inside of. ” –Bill Blakemore, CBS News
