Francis of Assisi and Pope Francis: Men of Gesture

    Activity: Talk or presentation typesInvited talkScientific

    Description

    The popularity of Francis and Francis - as well as the anger of some - may be connected to their ability to communicate through gestures. A gesture is a tactical practice, as described by Michel de Certeau. It results in ambiguous realities, not the least with respect to the identities of the gesturer him- or herself.
