Contemplating a creative process of writing, the author seems to insist on a symbiosis between art and life. Writing about Shostakovich, he goes on challenging aWs ability to deliver a clear message about life： how to put what one has experienced into words？ A creative dialogue thus established between a non-speaking, extra-linguistic, and unique self and its verbal representation in literature is built upon a relational nature of the said and the not-said. Eloquent silence is employed to transpose one＇s life experience into the realm of verbal represenation. Focusing on the limits of verbal representation, Barnes＇ character in The Noise of Time similarly strives to grasp a meaning of the relationship among language, ＂silence＂, and liberation from the self. Refiguring silence as one of the most valuable narrative devices, the text challenges the illusory nature of historical time, of historical places, and of selfhood展开更多

Evidence suggests that customer satisfaction plays a key role in an organization＇s ability to maintain a relationship with its customers. We examined the link between satisfaction and loyalty within a theoretical framework based on an empirical study in which data from more than 14,000 respondents were obtained. This data allowed us to evaluate the arts consumer from an attitudinal and behavioral perspective looking at their interests, satisfaction level, frequency of attendance, and compare it using the participant＇s education level. A descriptive statistical analysis using ANOVA （analysis of variance）, correlation, partial correlation, and multiple regression provided evidence that, in the context of experiencing an arts show, satisfaction does not have any impact on loyalty but education level plays a significant role in people＇s interest and loyalty.展开更多
