Abstract: | Gestures convey meaning with a flourish. A vigorous nod of the head, a bold jut of the chin, an enthusiastic thumbs-up: all speak louder than words. Yet the same gesture may have different meanings in different parts of the world. What Americans understand as the “A-OK gesture,” for example, is an obscene insult in the Arab world. This volume is the reference book we didn't know we needed―an illustrated dictionary of 850 gestures and their meanings around the world. It catalogs voluntary gestures made to communicate openly―as distinct from sign language, dance moves, involuntary “tells,” or secret handshakes―and explains what the gesture conveys in a variety of locations. It is organized by body part, from top to bottom, from head (nodding, shaking, turning) to foot (scraping, kicking, playing footsie). |
