Abstract
Silence, it turns out, is quite an interesting object for social analysis. Silence is interesting because somehow we have made nothing, an absence, a void, mean something. Social interaction inseminates our silences with meaning, impregnating our pauses. The questions before us, then, are what does silence mean, and how is it possible in the first place for silence to mean anything?
