By analysing both sonic practices and the discourses and institutions that describe them, it redescribes what sound does in the human world, and what humans do in the sonic worldвЂќ (Sterne, 2012: 2). Silence and Sound StudiesД¤ Jonathan Sterne, one of the leading scholars in the new field, defines Sound Studies as вЂњthe interdisciplinary ferment in the human sciences that takes sound as its analytical point of departure or arrival. In conclusion, the article sketches out some areas of fruitful future collaboration between Sound Studies and Translation Studies. The means by which two key QuГ©bГ©cois poets, Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau and Anne HГ©bert, translate silence in the text of their poems are identified, and the challenges these вЂњeffects of silenceвЂќ pose for their Anglophone translators explored. ДЈ This article draws on notions from musicology and the new field of Sound Studies to explore these unmapped issues in the textual representation and translation of silence, the term being understood here not in the strict, or radical, sense of the blank, silent page, and the concomitant complete absence of text, but as a textual phenomenon evoking effects for the reader, achieved through manipulations of language. Although studies drawing on rhetorical traditions, not necessarily included in the Benjamins Bibliography, may touch on silence, this is mainly in the relatively limited context of rhythmic effects in prosody, the use of caesurae, for instance, to mark a brief вЂњsilentвЂќ pause within the metrical measurement of verse 3, or the role of pauses in theatrical dialogues in revealing hidden meanings or subtexts 4. A few address gaps or вЂњsilencesвЂќ in multimedia translation andinterpretersвЂ™ speech (Torchitti, 2009), or the translatorвЂ™s вЂњsilenceвЂќ as a manifestation of lack of engagement (Rao, 2004), but the linguistic and poetic challenges of translating effects of silence as these encoded in textual phenomena are rarely addressed 2. The vast majority of these studies deal with questions of censorship or invisibility (Tymoczko, 2010), silences in intercultural communication (Petrilli and Ponzio, 2006), or difficulties in building transcultural bridges (Alves, 1995 Sool, 2009). A quick search in the John Benjamins Online Translation Studies Bibliography, under the key word вЂњsilence,вЂќ yields 44 references 1.
