In this book, the authors argue that science concepts are more than
what lecturers say and write on the board - science concepts cannot
be abstracted from the complex performances that take place in the
classroom. Through analysis of nonverbal aspects of communication
and interaction during science lectures, which take into account
the body, how it is placed in and moves across space, its
orientation, its movements (gestures), the aspects of the setting
it marks and other resources used, the authors show how each one of
the resources employed provides different types and amounts of
information that need to be taken into consideration all together,
as a unit, to mark and re-mark sense so that audiences may remark
it. The book also provides examples that show how the integration
of multiple resources provides the coherence of the ideological
unit, presenting lectures as an integrated performance of knowledge
in action. The book is of interest for science educators and
learning scientists in general, as well as scholars interested in
multimodal analysis of interaction and face-to-face communication.
