"Silence is long-established as a spiritual discipline amongst people of faith. However, its examination tends to focus on depictions within texts emerging from religious life and the development of its practices. Latterly, feminist theologians have also highlighted the silencing of women within Christian history. Consequently, silence is often portrayed as a solitary discipline based in norms of male monastic experience or a tool of women's subjugation. In contrast, this book investigates chosen practices of silence in the lives of Christian women today, evidencing its potential for enabling profound relationality and empowerment within their spiritual journeys. Opening with an exploration of Christianity's reclamation of practices silence in the twentieth century, this contemporary ethnographic study engages with wider academic conversations about silence. Its substantive theological and empirical exploration of women's practices of silence demonstrates that, for some, silence-based prayer is a valued space for encounter and transformation in relationships with God, with themselves and with others. Utilising a methodology that proposes focusing on silence throughout the qualitative research process, this study also illustrates a new model for depicting relational change. Finally, the book urges practical and feminist theologians to re-examine silence's potential for facilitating the development of more authentic and responsible relationality within people's lives"--

Le silence n'est pas la simple absence de bruit. Il réside en nous, dans cette citadelle intérieure que de grands écrivains, penseurs, savants, femmes et hommes de foi, ont cultivée durant des siècles. A l'heure où le bruit envahit tous les espaces, Alain Corbin revient sur l'histoire de cet âge où la parole était rare et précieuse. Condition du recueillement, de la rêverie, de l'oraison, le silence est le lieu intime d'où la parole émerge. Les moines ont imaginé mille techniques pour l'exalter, jusqu'aux chartreux qui vivent sans parler. Philosophes et romanciers ont dit combien la nature et le monde ne sont pas distraction vaine. Une rupture s'est produite, pourtant, aux confins des années 1950, et le silence a perdu sa valeur éducative. L'hypermédiatisation du XXIe siècle nous contraint à être partie du tout plutôt que de se tenir à l'écoute de soi, modifiant la structure même de l'individu. Redécouvrir l'école du silence, tel est l'enjeu de ce livre dont chaque citation est une invitation à la méditation, au retour sur soi. Avec ce goût pour l'insaisissable qui a donné naissance à ses plus grands livres, (Le miasme et la jonquille, Les cloches de la terre...), Alain Corbin nous invite à entendre une autre Histoire.

"Deserts have a long religious history. Think of the biblical stories of the ancient Israelites migrating through deserts after they had been freed from slavery in Egypt, and the stories from the New Testament of Jesus being tempted in the desert. Early Christian monks and hermits were deeply influenced by such stories, drawing from them the lesson that the desert is an important place. It's the place to which one flees the cacophony and distractions of the marketplace and town square in order to hear and contemplate the voice of God in solitude. (Of course, the practice of withdrawal was a Graeco-Roman ideal as well as a biblical one, and some early monks were surely influenced by pre-Christian philosophical ideas about the power of solitude too.) Alone or in monastic communities -- which, paradoxically, blended the communal and the solitary -- monks found something surprising in the harsh desert environment: while they went there in search of silence, they found that the desert, too, is rich with sound -- which one can appreciate if one pays attention. One has to learn to listen to the subtle, natural sounds of the desert in order to become quiet and still enough to "listen with the ear of the heart," in the words of the sixth-century AD monk Benedict of Nursia. Kim Haines Eitzen has written a book about the sayings, anecdotes, and stories of these desert monks, based on her reading of a wide range of texts written in Greek, Coptic, and Latin between the third and seventh centuries, including letters, treatises, and philosophical and practical instructions for monastic life. This material speaks to the interdependence between humans and other animals, and between humans and the environment. The author highlights the ways in which monks wrestled with the sounds of the desert and how they used these to cultivate a quality of inner listening. She invites her readers to reflect with her on what we might learn about our own world from their experience and stories -- how, in the midst of our cacophonous surroundings, we might cultivate a sense of inner quietude. And how we might grapple with the tensions that those early monks also felt, between the pulls of solitude and community. Accompanying this book are a set of audio recordings the author made in desert environments"-- "Enduring lessons from the desert soundscapes that shaped the Christian monastic traditionFor the hermits and communal monks of antiquity, the desert was a place to flee the cacophony of ordinary life in order to hear and contemplate the voice of God. But these monks discovered something surprising in their harsh desert surroundings: far from empty and silent, the desert is richly reverberant. Sonorous Desert shares the stories and sayings of these ancient spiritual seekers, tracing how the ambient sounds of wind, thunder, water, and animals shaped the emergence and development of early Christian monasticism.Kim Haines-Eitzen draws on ancient monastic texts from Egypt, Sinai, and Palestine to explore how noise offered desert monks an opportunity to cultivate inner quietude, and shows how the desert quests of ancient monastics offer profound lessons for us about what it means to search for silence. Drawing on her own experiences making field recordings in the deserts of North America and Israel, she reveals how mountains, canyons, caves, rocky escarpments, and lush oases are deeply resonant places. Haines-Eitzen discusses how the desert is place of paradoxes, both silent and noisy, pulling us toward contemplative isolation yet giving rise to vibrant collectives of fellow seekers.Accompanied by Haines-Eitzen's evocative audio recordings of desert environments, Sonorous Desert reveals how desert sounds taught ancient monks about solitude, silence, and the life of community, and how they can help us understand ourselves if we slow down and listen"--
