Throwing Gestures.

Throwing Gestures examines the recent intensification of interest in gesture and the entanglement between gesture, media, and politics. The gestures discussed pass from body to body and between states of medial representation. Protest movements, the respective aesthetics specific to those movements, the perpetuation of socio-economic crises over many decades, the plight of gig workers in precarious employment and mechanisms for the quantification of work and leisure are some of the issues addressed. Fourteen contributors from diverse fields ranging from visual and performing arts, cultural studies, and cultural history, to media theory and political science, shed light on the many aspects that comprise mediatized gestures today. Developed from independent approaches brought together through interdisciplinary collaborations, Throwing Gestures combines conversational, artistic, and essayistic contributions with scientific articles. Image and text are juxtaposed. Readers are invited to leaf through the collection or approach the volume as a flipbook. von Koch, Alexander und Leeker, Martina und Lefkofridi, Zoe und Menrath, Stefanie Kiwi und Rieger, Stefan und Schulze, Tobias und Strutz, Konrad und Wenzel, Anna-Lena und Young, Laurie und Bettel, Florian und Boswank, Dina und Chambers, Justine A. und Chesta, Riccardo E. und Herbst, Timo und Kaldrack, Irina und Bettel, Florian und Kaldrack, Irina und Strutz, Konra
