摘要 Abstract:
Beginning with Rodney Needham’s observation that percussive noise tends to frame
moments of ritual transition, this talk contrasts ritual uses of noise (uninterpretable sound)
and silence (uninterpretable quiet), and it examines the reasons why ritual silence
is much more rare than noise. One example will be a contrast between noisy
Pentecostal glossolalia and silent Quaker meetings. A second example will focus on
silence and noise in rural Taiwanese funerals of the 1970s. Part of the explanation lies
in silence’s fragility compared to noise, and part in the potential of silence to break
through the frames that noise excels at creating.
