Shakespeare's Body Language is a ground-breaking new study of Shakespearean drama, revealing the previously unseen history of social tensions found within the performance of gestures - and how such gestures are used to shame those within the body politic of early modern England. The first full study of shaming gestures in Shakespearean drama, this book establishes how shame is often rooted in the gendered expectations of the Renaissance era. Exploring how the performance of gestures such as figging, the cuckold's horns, and even the in-action of stillness created shaming spectacles on the early modern stage and its wider society, Shakespeare's Body Languageargues that gestures are embodied social metaphors which epitomise the personal as political. It reveals the tensions of everyday life as key motivators behind the actions of Shakespeare's characters, and considers how honour and its opposite, shame, are constructed in terms of gender norms.
Featuring in-depth analyses of plays across Shakespeare's career, this book explores how the playwright's understanding of shame and humiliation is rooted in performance anxiety and gender politics, explaining how theatrical gestures can create dramatic tension in a way that words alone cannot. It offers both rich insights into the early modern context of Shakespeare's drama and confirms the startling relevance of his work to modern audiences.
Описание: This book addresses eye movements and gestures as markers of language comprehension and production in interpreting as the 'visible embodiment' of cognitive processing in simultaneous and consecutive interpreting. It discusses conference interpreting as a complex, multimodal activity where language processing is not restricted to auditory perception and oral production, highlighting the complexity of interpreting and exploring possible strategies that can be used by professional interpreters and students to make their work easier and more accurate.
The English painter, film-maker and writer Derek Jarman (1942-1994) is mainly known for his work in the medium of film, but he always saw himself primarily as a painter. In this study of his lesser known home movies, Super 8 films and the 'cinema of small gestures' that Jarman developed out of them, Martin Frey discusses numerous Super 8 films as well as the films THE LAST OF ENGLAND, IN THE SHADOW OF THE SUN and THE ANGELIC CONVERSATION. He examines Jarman's filming techniques and way of working and also analyses influences from the fields of painting and literature, such as Allen Ginsberg, Robert Rauschenberg, David Hockney and Yves Klein. For Jarman, life and work represented an indivisible unity. Numerous autobiographical elements from his works are thus considered in this volume: his repressed childhood and adolescence in post-war England, his coming out and the liberated life of the seventies, his struggle against the unequal treatment of homosexuals during the Thatcher era, his dealing with his own HIV infection and finally his personal commitment to fighting discrimination against people who are HIV-positive or who have already developed Aids.

Описание: This book examines emblems (or emblematic gestures) from a pragmatic view, that is to say, as autonomous gestures that fulfill communicative functions, embody illocutionary values, and act as signals of cognitive relevance. Emblems are conceived as multimodal tools on the frontier between verbal and nonverbal modes, and are part of the communicative repertoire of individuals and sociocultural groups. Emblems constitute clear cases of embodiment and are susceptible to many processes of metaphorization (contrasting or not with verbal metaphors), metonymy, and interference between modalities. The applications of emblematic analysis are numerous, from lexicography to second language learning, or to natural language processing.
