This article explores the interplay of bodily practices and interpretive frameworks in folk-lore performance. A case study of the Italian passeggiata (ritual promenade), the essay shows how culturally specific beliefs about the relationship between character, sociability, and the body inform expressive behavior and its interpretation.
