In recent years, historians have expanded their attention to other kinds of sources, but seldom have they taken into account the most vital and omnipresent nonverbal aspect of life - body language. Silent History explores the potential of early photography to uncover the structure and nature of everyday body language in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through a close study of street photography by pioneering photographers who were the first to document urban everyday life with hidden cameras, Peter Andersson examines a key period of history in a new light. By focusing on a number of body poses and gestures common to the nonverbal communication of the fin de sieÌcle, he reveals the identifications and connotations of daily social interaction beyond the written word. Andersson also depicts a broader picture of the body and its relationship to popular culture by placing photographic analysis within a context of magazine illustration, caricature, music-hall entertainment, and the elusive urban subcultures of the day. Studying archival photographs from Austria, England, and Sweden, Silent History provides a clear picture of the emergence of the modern bodily conventions that still define us. 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 650 0 $a Body language $z Europe $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Body language $z Europe $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Nonverbal communication $z Europe $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Nonverbal communication $z Europe $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Europe $x Social life and customs $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Europe $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103020310.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=93B2C7C80F2511E9BB56EF4997128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
