Lessons in Silence: Power, Diversity, and the Educationalisation of Silence. Verstraete, P. DiGeSt. Journal of Diversity and Gender Studies, 3(2):59–74, 2016. ![Lessons in Silence: Power, Diversity, and the Educationalisation of Silence [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex The famous French historian Alain Corbin recently published a history of silence: Histoire du silence (Albin Michel, 2016). In this publication he argues that in the course of the twentieth century silence has lost its educational value. Based on an analysis of Maria Montessori's book The Method Montessori (1912) and a 1953 documentary entitled How quiet helps at school (Coronet films) it will be argued in this article that silence has not lost any of its didactical capacities. On the contrary, the hypothesis will be formulated that in the course of the twentieth century silence has been educationalised. In this sense a plea is made for a nuanced reading of silence's place in the contemporary Western world; a place that cannot and should not be disconnected from politics. Consequently, all hypotheses that present silence as the sine qua non for authentic diversity – understood as not being contaminated by any power structure – have to be looked at rather critically.
