Most researches show that silence is either negative or positive. In most African fiction, silence is applied to mean either, void, submission, absence, fear, defiance or otherwise. How is this pattern of silence impacting gender studies?
Very good question. As I understand that silence is only negative when it is the primary form of feedback your team members receive. Critical feedback is the most damaging form of feedback. This kind of feedback focuses solely on the negatives and ignores all the positives.
Yes. Emphratt 2008, 2012 and 2016 talks of silence, and its representative meaning. From ground to figure. But is silent on the gender consequences. I see a trend in his work where almost always, positive silence is explicated.
Silence can be a significant issue in gender studies... feminist theorists have shed light on the negative part within 'silence'!
