Catherine Hezser examines rabbis? appearance and demeanor, spatial movement, gestures, and facial expressions on the basis of literary and social-anthropological methods and theories. She discusses the various forms of rabbis? non-verbal communication in the context of Graeco-Roman and ancient Christian literary sources and in connection with the material culture of Roman and early Byzantine Palestine. Catherine Hezser convincingly shows that in rabbinic literature body language serves as an important means of rabbis? self-fashioning. Rabbinic texts create the image of a particularly Jewish type of intellectual who functioned and competed for adherents within the highly visual and body-conscious environment of late antiquity. 410 0$aSupplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism$v179. 606 $aNonverbal communication in rabbinical literature 615 0$aNonverbal communication in rabbinical literature. 676 $a296.1/2406 700 $aHezser$b Catherine$f1960-$0922024 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813488403321 996 $aRabbinic body language$94041036 997 $aUNINA
