Expression phenomena fluctuate between the spheres of physicality and movement as well as language and communication. To capture expression in its peculiar mobility and transformability, the contributions of this volume explore its aesthetic, social, and (inter-)subjective dimensions and their overlaps within the framework of historical developments, as well as against the backdrop of current insights and debates in psychology, philosophy, brain research, and linguistics. From the thematic areas of body, language, and the arts, as well as from overarching questions in anthropology, communicative and bodily forms of expression are systematically analyzed and examined for their situational and historical specificity, including not only verbal utterances but also gestures and movements, dance.
