• Sommario/riassunto: Derived from the Latin verb "gerere"-to carry, act, or do-"gesture" has accrued critical currency but has remained undertheorized. Migrations of Gesture addresses this absence and provides a complex theory on the value of gesture for understanding human sign production.Contributors: Mark Franko, Ketu H. Katrak, Akira Mizuta Lippit, Susan A. Phillips, Deidre Sklar, Lesley Stern, Blake Stimson.
