Take your choice for Wednesday or Friday:

Describe and analyze a gesture you have observed or used yourself this week. It needs to be a "semantic" gesture, one that has interpretable meaning, and is a folk gesture, shared by others and understood by a group.

Interview others about their uses or knowledge of this gesture; their values about it; their sense of who else uses it; what do they think about its uses and meanings.

Discuss how studying the gesture might be expanded by the use of theories encountered in this course or in others regarding the body, constructions of meaning, communication.
