{"product_id":"body-language-in-the-greek-douglas-cairns-9781905125012","title":"Body Language in the Greek and Roman Worlds","description":"A distinguished cast of scholars discusses models of gesture and non-verbal communication as they apply to Greek and Roman culture, literature and art. Topics include dress and costume in the Homeric poems; the importance of looking, eye-contact, and face-to-face orientation in Greek society; the construction of facial expression in Greek and Roman epic; the significance of gesture and body language in the visual meaning of ancient sculpture; the evidence for gesture and performance style in the texts of ancient drama; the erotic significance of feet and footprints; and the role of gesture in Roman law. The volume seeks to apply a sense of history as well as of theory in interpreting non-verbal communication. It looks both at the cross-cultural and at the culturally specific in its treatment of this important but long-neglected aspect of Classical Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Cairns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1905125011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781905125012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Classical Press of Wales\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.36h x 6.36w x 0.74d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 253","brand":"Douglas Cairns","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113750081791,"sku":"9781905125012","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_91c55c98-11e6-4225-a8e0-1e9e8b2e6cff.jpg?v=1769617068","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/body-language-in-the-greek-douglas-cairns-9781905125012","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
