| Итог: | Aim of this paper is to discuss issues related to silence and its role for Byzantine female monasticism. The study explores the importance of silence for the monastic life in Byzantium pn the base of the theories of M. Foucault and A. Jaworski, as well as on Gender Studies. In general, silence was contrasted to speech, idle talk and laughter, which were considered distractions from the spiritual life. Emphasis is given on monastic regulations for nuns who had to be silent, not so much on spiritual grounds but much more in compliance to social norms and gender expectations. |
