Book Synopsis
A Deleuzian analysis of the role of silence as chaotic interstice in sound film.

Trade Review
"Gardner's pioneering work turns up the theoretical and philosophical volume on what is typically disregarded by critics and dismissed by directors in sound films: silence. Drawing on the ecosophical dimension of Deleuze and Guattari's thought and building on an impressive range of examples from 1931 to 2009, Gardner performs a virtuosic recital of sonic dropouts, pregnant pauses, and zones of silence in cinema. This visionary book will serve as an ideal companion to emergent works of scholarship on visual absence and darkness in film studies and film-philosophy." -Tanya Shilina-Conte, SUNY at Buffalo
