To Dance is Human : Theory of Nonverbal Communication
ISBN: 9780226315492 / Angielski / Miękka / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Exploring dance from the rural villages of Africa to the stages of Lincoln Center, Judith Lynne Hanna shows that it is as human to dance as it is to learn, to build, or to fight. Dance is human thought and feeling expressed through the body: it is at once organized physical movement, language, and a system of rules appropriate in different social situations. Hanna offers a theory of dance, drawing on work in anthropology, semiotics, sociology, communications, folklore, political science, religion, and psychology as well as the visual and performing arts. A new preface provides commentary on...
