Reviews

Poetics of Living breathes new life into both ethnopoetics and the poetics of interaction and, ultimately, creates something intellectually rather exciting. Kuniyoshi Kataoka, Makiko Takekuro and Takeshi Enomoto have put together a book worth reading. The chapters are uniformly stimulating, and the opening and closing essays field redefining. * Anthony K. Webster, Professor of Anthropology, University of Texas at Austin, USA *

The chapters are uniformly stimulating, and the opening and closing essays field redefining. * Anthony K. Webster, Professor of Anthropology, University of Texas at Austin, USA * Poetics of Living boldly recasts ""poetics"" as a plurimodal theory of communication and as a method for grasping ""the total communicative fact."" Authored by top scholars, it inaugurates a new direction in linguistic anthropology. Grounded in ethnographically rich fieldwork, it articulates the theoretical terms that are globally resonant. Essential and necessary reading. * Miyako Inoue, Associate Professor, Stanford University, USA *
