So nice to see references to some of my favourite bits of Gesture: A Slim Guide featured in this weekend's SMH column from @dontattempt.bsky.social www.smh.com.au/culture/book... [paywalled, sorry]

"Scholarly in tone, Gawne's book unlocks the wonders of alternative spaces that various cultures adopt." Always love any opportunity to share the different ways that different cultures speak and gesture about time using different physical metaphors.

Also in the same column, @damonyoung.com.au's immortal Gestures, which I had a lot of fun reviewing a few months ago: www.superlinguo.com/post/7851897...

More stuff about gesture, from more people, in more places, for more audiences! That's basically the summary of my business model at the moment. (This is why I do not run a business)
