What role does the body – and its movements, postures, and gestures – play in learning and practicing legal reasoning? On Monday 28 April, the Research Network for Culture, Law and the Body will organise an online talk with Maksymilian Del Mar (Queen Mary University of London).

Kinesic legal humanities

In this talk, Del Mar will consider the ancient roots of the recognition of embodiment in Greek and Roman rhetorical pedagogy. He will also discuss how the simulation of movement, gesture, and posture played a crucial role in English common law reasoning from the early modern period to the twentieth century.
