Infos

Focusing on embodied and material processes rather than cognitive or mentalist models, and on practice rather than text, this book reveals why a limited view of human communication is unsatisfactory.

---

In Communicating, the anthropologist Ruth Finnegan considers the many and varied modes through which we humans communicate and the multisensory resources we draw on.
The book uncovers the amazing array of sounds, sights, smells, gestures, looks, movements, touches and material objects which humans use so creatively to interconnect both nearby and across space and time - resources consistently underestimated in those western ideologies that prioritise 'rationality' and referential language.
