As of volume 10, Simon Harrison (City University of Hong Kong, Hong
Kong) will succeed Jürgen Streeck (The University of Texas at Austin)
as new editor of the John Benjamins bookseries Gesture Studies. Jürgen
Streeck will remain member of the board.
Gesture Studies aims to publish book-length publications on all
aspects of gesture. Topics may include, but are by not limited to: the
relationship between gesture and speech; the role gesture may play in
communication in all the circumstances of social interaction,
including conversations, the work-place or instructional settings;
gesture and cognition; the development of gesture in children; the
place of gesture in first and second language acquisition; the
processes by which spontaneously created gestures may become
transformed into codified forms; the documentation and discussion of
vocabularies of ‘quotable’ or ‘emblematic’ gestures; the relationship
between gesture and sign; studies of gesture systems or sign languages
such as those that have developed in factories, religious communities
or in tribal societies; the role of gesture in ritual interactions of
all kinds, such as greetings, religious, civic or legal rituals;
gestures compared cross-culturally; gestures in primate social
interaction; biological studies of gesture, including discussions of
the place of gesture in language origins theory; gesture in
multi-modal human-machine interaction; historical studies of gesture;
and studies in the history of gesture studies, including discussions
of gesture in the theatre or as a part of rhetoric.
Volumes in this peer-reviewed series may be collected volumes,
monographs, or reference books, in the English language.
