This innovative work introduces the interdisciplinary field of
research of kinesemiotics, offering a new adaptable model and means
of analysis for understanding forms of movement-based
communication, such as dance, that use a codified language shared
by a community of users. It begins with a theoretical overview and
review of existing literature on the main approaches to
movement-based communication, specifically dance, which underpin
kinesemiotics as an area of study. It reaffirms previous work which
established dance as a form of embodied communication in that it
encompasses a wide range of semiotic styles and forms shared by
communities of "speakers." In collaboration with the English
National Ballet, Maiorani employs the genre of ballet as a means
through which to understand and analyse some of the key concepts of
kinesemiotics, mainly that of space as a semiotic dimension and
"motivated movement," or movement with meaning. Supported by
automated movement recognition tools from the fields of
bio-robotics engineering and computer science, Maiorani argues for
ballet's capacity, when movements are projected into meaningful
space, to extend beyond sequences of physical movements to become a
meaning making practice. Kinesemiotics advances interdisciplinary
research in the fields of social semiotics, media and
communication, multimodality, linguistics, and performance studies
and will be of particular interest to students and scholars in
these areas.
