Animatedness” is what - the silence has been given the ability to influence the perception of the onlooker/spectator/listener.But even more so this is an oxymoron: “apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction”. This can also be named a “contradiction in terms”.The effect is making us aware that although noise can be deafening, even more so, total silence can also be overwhelming = deafening.
