  Examines the ways in which culture is embodied and challenged through the corporeal performance of gestures. Drawing on work in disciplines such as dance and movement theory, phenomenology, cognitive science, and literary criticism, this title argues that kinesthesia encourages experiment, modification, and, at times, rejection of the routine.
