Hello, welcome to my blog on handwriting !
This blog is part of my UCL module on Anthropology of the Body, it’s a space where I hope to explore its functions as an innately personal recorded bodily output.
Here’s some themes and questions that I’d like to explore
- Why do we do it, what are the purposes it serves?
- How handwriting is learned?
- Is it distinct from drawing?
- Asemic handwriting , personal ‘codes’
- Handwriting as recorded bodily movements, the pen as a prosthetic body part
- How handwriting is or isn’t changing in this digital age
My posts will aim to explore these initial ideas, and more as my research and thinking deepens!
