Facial Expressions
The use of facial expressions on Sorry Everybody is central to its persuasive power. People are so strongly moved by images of faces that the accessibility of and popular desire to use a system that allows people to share their faces and messages with the world is a significant development in long distance communication among strangers. It is quite impressive that faces can have so much effect even when one realizes the very real performative aspect to the affectation of a particular expression—many of the expressions are assumed in very specific and presentation-driven ways.Posted by at December 4, 2004 06:09 AM
