Diachronic Perspectives on Embodiment and Technology : Gestures and Artefacts, Hardback Book

Diachronic Perspectives on Embodiment and Technology : Gestures and Artefacts Hardback

Edited by Thiemo Breyer, Alexander Matthias Gerner, Niklas Grouls, Johannes F.M. Schick

Part of the Philosophy of Engineering and Technology series

Hardback

Description

This book investigates the relationships between gestures and artefacts theoretically and historically, by analyzing different phenomena stemming from a variety of fields such as robotics, archaeology, gesture studies, anthropology, philosophy, and gestural practices like choreography, music performance, and composition.

It underlines how embodiment and technology change the interplay between maker and artefact over time and appeals to students and researchers in these fields.

Its goal is to enable the reader to understand that the recurring topics and questions as well as multi-level similarities are by no means accidental, but can best be understood if one pays attention to the intertwinements of materiality and cognition, praxis and techne.
