Resumo
This work aims to make a study about the ways of Cage to understand silence. Silence was
already an usual practice in ancient music. Used in the word-painting technique in
Renaissance music, with decorative purposes in relation to the text, in baroque music silence
was used in a rhetorical way with the intention of moving the affections and persuading the
listener to the emotion, as the figures of silence quite usual in the baroque period. The works
of Bartel (1997), Cameron (2005), Gatti (1997), Lucas (2005, 2007, 2016) and Villavicencio
(2011) were important points of interlocution in this perspective. The concept of imaginary
was an important methodological element for establishing this comparison between silence in
Baroque music and contemporary music by John Cage. From understanding the imaginary of
Castoriadis (1992) and Durand (1998) we construct an understanding of the singularities as
well as the interpretative connections between each of these silences: the rhetorical and
intentional of baroque music and those of Cage's acasos and indetermination. In order to
understand the silences of John Cage, a contextualization on Zen Buddhism was carried out in
the United States at the end of the first half of the twentieth century, starting with Eco
(1978), as well as a discussion of ideas of nothingness and emptiness in Zen, based on Heller
(2011). Such a discussion is made in order to relate these ideas to concepts and questionings
substantial to the understanding of silence in John Cage, such as ideas about nothingness,
interpenetration, and the possibility of music, as an opening to the events of sounds to
establish communication, and in that sense be rhetorical. Lacan's ideas about the symbolic
and emptiness (1995, 2005) served as an element of understanding the limits and
possibilities of Cage's silent project.
