Speaking Through the Silence: Narratives, Social Conventions, and Power in Java - Oxford Studies in Anthropological Linguistics
Berman, Laine (Lecturer, School of Australian and International Studies, Lecturer, School of Australian and International Studies, Deakin University)
Uncovering the structures and functions of conversational narratives uttered within natural social networks, the author shows how working-class Javanese women discursively construct identity and meaning within the constraints of a hierarchical social order through silences, or the "unsaid".
