MENDOZA GARCIA, Jorge. Said and unsaid: silence as oblivion material. Polis [online]. 2009, vol.5, n.2, pp.121-154. ISSN 2594-0686.

This paper aims to present oblivion as an arrival point of a long process beginning in the public space. In this space the communicable is expressed, the shared is taken from and sent to the private space, and in the private space the secret is woven. The toughest form of secret is manifested through censure, an imposition and power practice that comes from afar. Censure indicates what may be said and what may not. Thus, silence imposes itself, it assigns the matters to omit, those that no one may or might enunciate openly. This route gives form to the oblivion, the path of the silence leads to the oblivion and, along the road, it leaves aside many episodes, periods, groups, sectors, personages; that is, a significant part of humankind. So the present time is configured.

Palavras-chave : public; private; secret; censure; silence; oblivion.
