520 8 The written and verbal traces of the past have been
extensively studied by historians, but what about the
nonverbal traces? In recent years, historians have
expanded their attention to other kinds of sources, but
seldom have they taken into account the most vital and
omnipresent nonverbal aspect of life - body language.
Silent History explores the potential of early photography
to uncover the structure and nature of everyday body
language in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. Through a close study of street photography by
pioneering photographers who were the first to document
urban everyday life with hidden cameras, Peter Andersson
examines a key period of history in a new light. By
focusing on a number of body poses and gestures common to
the nonverbal communication of the fin de siècle, he
reveals the identifications and connotations of daily
social interaction beyond the written word. Andersson also
depicts a broader picture of the body and its relationship
to popular culture by placing photographic analysis within
a context of magazine illustration, caricature, music-hall
entertainment, and the elusive urban subcultures of the
day. Studying archival photographs from Austria, England,
and Sweden, Silent History provides a clear picture of the
emergence of the modern bodily conventions that still
define us
