Catherine Hezser examines rabbis' appearance and demeanor, spatial movement, gestures, and facial expressions on the basis of literary and social-anthropological methods and theories. She discusses the various forms of rabbis' non-verbal communication in the context of Graeco-Roman and ancient Christian literary sources and in connection with the material culture of Roman and early Byzantine Palestine. Catherine Hezser convincingly shows that in rabbinic literature body language serves as an important means of rabbis' self-fashioning. Rabbinic texts create the image of a particularly Jewish type of intellectual who functioned and competed for adherents within the highly visual and body-conscious environment of late antiquity. 650 0 $a Nonverbal communication in rabbinical literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2016002662 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hezser, Catherine, 1960- author. $t Rabbinic body language $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2017] $z 9789004339064 $w (DLC) 2017009595 830 0 $a Supplements to the Journal for the study of Judaism ; $v v. 179. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n96007722 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217015246.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F77482FCEF8B11E79EB7FC5197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
