Sensitivity to the embodied aspects of life is topical in Beckett's drama, but such mis-movements underwrite the intrinsic connections between sense and sense-making to safeguard an ethics of interpretation founded on embodied cognition. Tracing Beckett's aesthetics of gesture back to its phenomenological and embodied roots, Einarsson suggests that the use of mis-movements in Beckett's drama is a methodological solution to the predicament of expression that exposes the injustices done by language to audiences as embodied knowers. More than interpretative dilemmas, mis-movements offer conduits for spectators to re-connect with embodied experience. Thus, they are the poetic means through which an alternative ethics of interpretation begins to emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ibidem Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47888381771927,"sku":"9783838212982","price":3028.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783838212982.webp?v=1781165505","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/becketts-drama-mis-movements-and-the-aesthetics-of-gesture-9783838212982","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
