Review
" ... Andrea de Jorio's extraordinary volume, Gesture in Naples and Gesture in Classical Antiquity, now finally translated into English almost 170 years after it was first published... was, its American publishers claim, the first book ever to make a proper ethnographic study of gesture. With commendable ... care, de Jorio lists and describes all the Neapolitans' expressions for love, lust, teasing, and cuckoldry, rage, scorn, disappointment and disdain., together with their myriad interpretations... As a chronicle of the salty doings of a richly theatrical city, Gesture in Naples is unsurpassed; as a snapshot of a society now homogenised like any other, it is unique."--The Economist, 10 February 2001

Cloth, 8vo, 25 cm, cvii, 517 pp, ills. From the blurb: "Andrea de Jorio's La mimica degli antichi investigata nel gestire napoletano (Gestural Expression of the Ancients in the L.ight of Neapolitan Gesturing) was first published in Naples in 1832. It soon became famous for its descriptions and depictions of Neapolitan gestures, but it is only with the recent expansion of scholarly interest in gesture that its true importance has come to be recognized, It is the first book ever written which presents what is, in effect, an ethnographic study of gesture. Treating gesture as a culturally established communicative code, analogous to language, the book sets out to describe, with reference to an explicitly defined cultural group, the gestural expressions of ordinary people as these are used in everyday life. It also deals with numerous issues important for any semiotics of gesture, such as the question of the relationship between physical form and meaning, the problem of how to present a description of the gestural repertoire of a community in a consistent manner, the importance of context for the interpretation of gesture, how gestures may be combined, and how they develop as metaphorical expressions."
