Gestures: Meaning and Use. Porto.
The first open international conference on Gesture, was held last
April (1st to 4th, 2000) at the University of Fernando Pessoa, in
Porto, Portugal, and was also supported by the
University of North Carolina and the Technical University of
Berlin. The publication of the proceedings of the conference, by the
University of Fernando Pessoa, will soon become
available. For further information please contact Monica Rector, at the
University of North Carolina.
During the conference, Adam Kendon (University of Pennsylvania) and
Cornelia Muller (Free University of Berlin) announced the
forthcoming new journal 'Gesture', to be published by the
Cambridge University Press. This is a major development.
There is also a plan to form a Gesture Society, and this might take
place next year when Jurgen Streeck (Austin, Texas) organises the next
major international conference on gesture. This will be held at
the University of Austin, Texas. Announcements for this will be given
later in the year.
