{"product_id":"human-action-signs-in-cultural-context","title":"Human Action Signs in Cultural Context","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite the tremendous multi-disciplinary upsurge of interest in \"the body\" of late, little or no attention has been given to the \u003ci\u003emoving\u003c\/i\u003e body or rather, the \u003ci\u003emoving person\u003c\/i\u003e, a situation that is remedied by this book. For the first time, leading scholars in the anthropology of dance and human movement come together to provide a rich sample of their current work, introducing theories and methods that move well beyond the more familiar \"proxemic\" and \"kinesic\" approaches to body movement and space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 1 consists of ethnographic studies as diverse as Hawaiian dance and poetry, Tai Chi Chuan, Ballet and the Roman Catholic Mass, Australian Aboriginal sign language, Plains Indians sign language, and African-American movement performance. Part 2 complements this ethnographic richness by providing an in-depth commentary, together with a critical examination of several fundamental philosophical and theoretical issues that have been raised.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scarecrow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255860941144,"sku":"9780810840331","price":77.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780810840331_8f2bba86-97f3-46b1-9064-3f22d7ed5238.jpg?v=1769807730","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/human-action-signs-in-cultural-context","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
