It does so from an interdisciplinary, transmedial perspective, which covers systematic, media-comparative and historical aspects, and reveals various forms and functions of missing signifiers across arts and media. The meaningful silences, blanks, lacunae, pauses, et cetera, treated by the ten contributors are taken from language and literature, film, comics, opera and instrumental music, architecture, and the visual arts. Contributors are: Nassim Balestrini, Walter Bernhart, Olga Fischer, Saskia Jaszoltowski, Henry Keazor, Peter Revers, Klaus Rieser, Daniel Stein, Anselm Wagner, Werner Wolf 410 0$aStudies in Intermediality$v11. 606 $aSilence in literature 606 $aSilence in music 606 $aAbsence in literature 606 $aAbsence in music 606 $aQuietude 606 $aQuietude in literature 606 $aPresence (Philosophy) 606 $aNonverbal communication 615 0$aSilence in literature. 615 0$aSilence in music. 615 0$aAbsence in literature. 615 0$aAbsence in music. 615 0$aQuietude. 615 0$aQuietude in literature. 615 0$aPresence (Philosophy) 615 0$aNonverbal communication. 676 $a700.108 702 $aWolf$b Werner$f1955- 702 $aBalestrini$b Nassim Winnie 702 $aBernhart$b Walter 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823117003321 996 $aMeaningful absence across arts and media$94104376 997 $aUNINA
