If you've ever watched a foreign-language-acquisition course, you'll know that while an unfamiliar gesture might be useful, it's often more ludicrous, and that the personality of whoever's expressing it can overwhelm the information quite quickly. This Visual Dictionary of Gestures catalogues the international language in demonstration by Argentine models, who scowl, pucker, squint and roll their eyes in the line of duty--it's useful if you're traveling, or if you just want to laugh.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49787382726929,"sku":"CIN9508891513VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9508891513.jpg?v=1750776224"},{"product_id":"mvd-book-guido-indij-9789508891471","title":"MVD","description":"In Montevideo Popular Graphics, Argentine photographer Guido Indij--responsible for several collections exploring South American graffiti--turns his eye towards Uruguay's street culture: I can't believe the things I see when out walking the streets of Montevideo: posters from our childhood, signage from our parents  days, archaeological traces of the last letristas (sign-writers), bestiaries, Carlos Gardels, fish and more fish. After walking extensively through the city, Indij notes that through these graphics we can reach an understanding of our identity. Much like the Surrealists, who found inspiration in the posters, signs and ads that papered the streets of Paris in the 1920s, Indij mines the language of the street for clues to our collective unconscious. Indij's previous books on street graphics incude Hasta La Victoria, Stencil  (2005) and 1000 Stencils (2008), which was published concurrently with an exhibition at The Drawing Center in New York. Parece mentira las cosas que se ven por las calles de Montevideo: carteles de nuestra infancia y de la de nuestros padres, huellas arqueol gicas de los  ltimos letristas, bestiarios, Gardeles, peces y pescados, universos constructivos, stencils universales, botoneras maravillosas, llamadas gr ficas. Caminamos m s de doscientas cuadras impulsados por la sospecha de que a trav s de estos materiales accedemos a la comprensi n de nuestra identidad.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49960954462481,"sku":"NGR9789508891471","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9508891475.jpg?v=1751033114"},{"product_id":"peron-willing-book-guido-indij-9789508891365","title":"Peron Willing","description":"Eva Peron (1919-1952) was the First Lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death in 1952. Often referred to as Evita, she was never an officially elected political figure, but by her husband's second term as President, she had become the most powerful woman in the history of her nation. By the 1960s, Evita was an international pop-culture icon; in the 1970s, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice wrote the blockbuster musical Evita about her; and in the mid-90s, the musical was adapted to a movie starring Madonna. This small, chunky paperback features all manner of vintage graphic treatments from the era of Evita--from candid portraits with her husband and two poodles to futuristic airplane designs to children's books which used the letters of her name to teach spelling. As Jorge Luis Borges once said, Peronists are neither good nor bad, they are incorrigible. Pru belo Ud. mismo. Re na dos o m s argentinos y en la mitad de la charla, diga la palabra m gica Per n.
