註釋This book suggests that an understanding of nonverbal communication can be applied to our reading of literature, thus enriching our comprehension of characters, style, and meaning - particularly in the short story.
Its theoretical framework is established by drawing from the diverse research in nonverbal communication in psychology, physi- ology, anthropology, and sociology. A combination of these approaches gives the nine categories applied to the reading of the short stories in this study: regulators, body clues, adaptors, physical appearance, vocal tones, touch, space, time, and artifacts.
This interdisciplinary approach leads to close readings from a fresh perspective on the following familiar stories from different eras: Nathaniel Hawthorne's eras: Nathaniel Hawthorne's «My Kinsman, Major Molineux» and «Young Goodman Brown, » Ernest Hemingway's «The Killers» and «Hills Like White Elephants, » and Flannery O'Connor's «Good Country People» and «The Life You Save May Be Your Own.»
