Raymond Carver was a great North American short writer in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His writings have singular characteristics, such as: a minimalist style; desperate characters in constant financial a familiar struggle; the characters’ inability to articulate any kind of concealing communication; and the presence of silence as a place of resistance. This study intends to analyze the use of language and the lack of it in the literature of Raymond Carver. The main goal of this paper is to verify how the recurrent use of silence helps as a mechanism of social resistance, and how this artifice is fundamental in maintaining the world the character inhabit from falling apart. Another aspect analyzed in this paper is how the lack of communication from the masculine characters affect their own masculinities, making them fragile. To support this study the discourse analysis from Michel Pecheux, and its theoretical presuppositions about ideology, language and the subject are applied. To analyze the use of silence in the literature of Raymond Carver, Eni Orlandi is brought to usage, as much as scholars that study Carver and theoreticians that discuss lacanian psychanalysis. It is expected to conclude that the use of silence, as a means of communication, by the author’s characters is a vulnerable strategy that this people find to avoid their social sphere from collapsing.

Seus escritos tem caracteristicas muito marcantes, entre elas: um estilo minimalista; personagens desesperados e em constante dificuldade financeira e familiar; a incapacidade de suas personagens articularem uma comunicacao conciliadora; e a presenca do silencio como local de resistencia. Este estudo pretende analisar o uso da linguagem e da falta desta na literatura de Raymond Carver. O designio central deste trabalho e verificar como o uso recorrente do silencio serve de mecanismo de resistencia social, e como este subterfugio utilizado pelas personagens e fundamental para evitar que o universo social dos sujeitos desmorone. Outro aspecto analisado neste artigo e como a falta de comunicacao por parte das personagens masculinas afeta suas proprias masculinidades, deixando-as frageis. Para embasar este estudo, a analise do discurso da escola de Michel Pecheux, e seus pressupostos teoricos sobre ideologia, lingua e sujeito sao trazidos a tona. Para analisar o uso do silencio na literatura de Carver, Eni Orlandi e utilizada, bem como estudiosos da literatura de Raymond Carver e academicos da psicanalise lacaniana. Espera-se concluir que o uso do silencio, como forma de comunicacao, pelas personagens do autor seja uma estrategia vulneravel que estes sujeitos encontram de manter o seu universo em pe.
