Reviews

"""In rock climbing, interactions, gestures, bodies, objects and space all synchronize together. Kuniyoshi Kataoka has developed a richly textured analysis of Japanese rock climbers' practices in naturalistic settings. This innovative book will inspire future research on how humans move through space and guide each other as they do so."" --Niko Besnier, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands ""Kataoka has provided amazingly rich ethnographic descriptions of the practices, narratives and poetry associated with mountain climbing. This is a great book for anyone interested in Linguistic Anthropology, Japanese Pragmatics, and Interaction Studies and will be a vital resource for years to come."" --Akira Takada, Kyoto University, Japan"
