| Sumario: | In this essay, we show the implications of silence in its relation to power in the film Persona by Ingmar Bergman (1966). We assume that silence works, in the work, as an update of forms of power and resistance in the lines of force that compose the relationships between the characters. To this end, we draw on some theoretical-methodological assumptions of Foucaultian discursive studies. The importance of this study lies in relativizing the idea that power silences, showing that, in times of hegemony of extraction of surplus value from symbolic activities, power makes people speak. The highlights show us that those who speak make-know and, at the same time, those who are silent may not-make-know and may still make-not-know. We conclude that power hides in the potentiality that develops in the sheet of silence. Knowledge is the very actualization of what is heard and what is seen, an actualization that generates the potentiality of power to those who see and hear. |
