Gestures

More about the book

Throughout his career, Vilém Flusser kept the idea of gesture in mind: that people express their being in the world through a sweeping range of movements. He reconsiders familiar actions - from speaking and painting to smoking and telephoning - in terms of movement, opening a new perspective on the ways we share and preserve meaning. These essays, published here as a collection in English, reflect both an eclectic array of interests and a durable commitment to phenomenological thought.
