Abstract

Particularly, the objective here is to explain how the silence works as semiotic concentrate (Noe Jitrik, 2007) able to show the representation of the power. ¿In which forms are the silence present? ¿what are these silences talking about?, ¿how the silence is broken and why? Are some of the questions that try to answer. And as the silence has many social uses we focus on the power accurate and maintained around the superhero, as representative of a national identity.
