Gestures from João Machado on Vimeo.
Gestures meet the three tests for a semiotic domain (implicitly) laid down by Gee (2003:23):
- They allow us to experience (see, feel and operate on) the world in new ways.
- Such gestures are shared with groups of people who carry them on as distinctive social practices.
- They allow us to gain resources that prepare us for future learning and problem-solving in the domain (and perhaps related domains).
Interesting the semiotic study about books and gestures!
Education:
Display the video in the classroom of Literature and debate with your students the importance of gestures on reading a book or an e-book.
