“…Management and organization studies are not, however, entirely taciturn on the subject. In the organizational literature, silence is considered under its rhetorical aspects, that is, as a way to create impact (Farmer, 2001), and further under its oppressive aspects, in the sense of ‘being silenced’ (Albrow, 1992; Brown & Coupland, 2005; Calás & Smircich, 1991; Clair, 1998; Costas & Grey, 2014; Maguire, Phillips, & Cynthia, 2001; Medina, 2004; Mirchandani, 2003; Perlow, 2003; Wang & Hsieh, 2013). Silence under these aspects has also been theorized in other fields, including feminist and gender studies, language and communication studies, history, sociology and politics (Daly, 1978; de Certeau, 1984; Deetz, 1992; Foucault, 1978; Habermas, 1979; Jaworski, 1993; Rich, 1984; Teahan, 1983; Weedon, 1987).…”
