Silence and Spacing

What isn't said, and the pauses that matter

Wittgenstein's Tractatus ends by saying some things can only be shown, never stated, and that the rest must be met with silence. Macherey argued every text is defined as much by what it cannot say as by what it does. This course studies the unsaid as a real object of literary and philosophical study, not an absence but a structure.
