Harvard University Press20091 online resource (264 p. ) illBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-674-03451-1 Includes bibliographical references and index.The "structuring" body: Marcel Mauss and bodily techniques -- Gestural meaning: Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Bill Viola, and the primacy of movement -- Inscription and embodiment: Andre Leroi-Gourhan and the body as tool -- Inscription as performance: Henri Michaux and the writing body -- The gestural performative: locating agency in the work of Judith Butler and Frantz Fanon -- Conclusion: illegible graffiti.In Agency and Embodiment, Carrie Noland examines the ways in which culture is both embodied and challenged through the corporeal performance of gestures. Arguing against the constructivist metaphor of bodily inscription dominant since Foucault, Noland maintains that kinesthetic experience, produced by acts of embodied gesturing, places pressure on the conditioning a body receives, encouraging variations in cultural practice that cannot otherwise be explained.
