SUMMARY:

Silence is acknowledged as a sign embracing multiple meanings, being at times built on the literary work as the absence of speech, the curtailment of the characters' voices, the concealment of thoughts and attitudes by its narrator, the use of expressions alluding to this semantic field and, still, on the contemporary prose, through typographical alterations. These embodiments enable the analysis of this sign, that, according to Barthes (2003), is conveyed to not be a sign, but promptly recognized as such. In face of these perspectives, our work aims at presenting how the sign of silence is depicted on the novel Anacrusa (2004) by Ricardo Daunt. In relation to the problem of silence, the analysis has as its theoretical basis the propositions of Barthes (2003), Holanda (1992), Orlandi (2002) e Homem (2011); with regard to the specificity of the narrative, the theory is supported by the thoughts of Adorno (2012) on the contemporary narrator, as well as Candido (2014) on the novel's character. The study of the text at issue led to the perception that, throughout the text, the characters’ lines are oppressed by the enunciative power from its narrator, who orchestrates the events on behalf of a hermetical construction of his prose, thus casting a shadow on his illegal actions, once the textual surface presents in a piecemeal, chaotic way. Such fragmentation is highlighted via the use of the sign of silence, which ends up producing “soundless voices”, muted by the oppressive moves practiced by the narrative’s ultimate conductor.
