“…To pursue this point, prior to turning to what might be termed a more ethnographic inflection of the gesture at issue, and figuring it with respect to what has been termed anthropology's "ethnographic gesture" (Pina-Cabral, 2007, let me first return to the singular gesture punctuating the passage with which this essay began.
