The Invisible Smile: Living Without Facial Expression

Buch

We are defined by our faces. They give identity but, equally importantly, reveal our moods and emotions through facial expression. So what happens when the face cannot move? This book is about people who live with Möbius Syndrome, which has as its main feature an absence of movement of the muscles of facial expression from birth.

He also collaborateswith philosophers and choreographers on the consequences of his work for notions of embodiment and affective movement/position sense.
