LING 091. Capstone Seminar (Cross-listed as INTP 091 and Theater 081) We will examine silent narrative in films, in stage plays, in mime, in stand-up comedy, in sign language visual vernacular, and in dance. We have three foci: the narrator’s entire body as it takes on roles in the story - so complete embodiment of characters; the narrator’s limbs as articulators of communication; and the narrator’s facial gestures as articulators of communication. We will be examining the limitations of each of these foci on conveying factual (that is, truth-conditional) information versus affective information. Social sciences. 1 credit. Spring 2017. Donna Jo Napoli and Elizabeth Stevens.
