From Commonplace to Collective"Complicity":On Silence as an Intermediate State
Silence is an intermediate state and daily experience,which has an important influence on our social life.In daily life,the intermediate state of silence is specifically manifested in the mediocre and average world of"ordinary people",and its subject is the"silent majority".The intermediate state of silence,formed by the cooperation of all individuals,is a kind of collective tacit understanding and rela-tional orientation.It is a behavior of"complicity",which reflects the relationship between people that is coordinated rather than isolated,negotiated rather than directive,and consensual rather than authoritari-an.Silence as an intermediate state is transformable."Complicit silence"not only endows the group a certain degree of stability and security,but also implies the possibility of breaking the silence.
