- The centripetal tendency of closure merges with the centrifugal radiation of the art symbol to unify singularity with multiplicity, stasis with kinesis, and imagination with reality.
- For its vistas and its kinesis, the western has been described as the genre most given to cinema, the cinema having emerged as the West was won and organically, so it seemed, out of the embers of actual frontier history.
- In the end, I found it kind of unsatisfying: less overhead control than simple fiction, less interactivity than roleplaying, less kinesis than film… paid well, but it never really clicked for me and I drifted away from the contract pool.
- Such moves seem to me to be absolutely crucial to an analysis of dance, requiring as it does bodies, time (minimally in terms of tempo), rhythm, and kinesis.
- Whereas Ellis concentrates on the music, I want to keep emphasising that in dance the rhythm and kinesis of the dance itself is integral to the iridescences that are built up to mix, mingle, and converge.
1. 1.1Biology count noun An undirected movement of a cell, organism, or part in response to an external stimulus.

  〔动〕（如某些鸟类和爬行动物的）头骨骨骼运动能力
  Example sentencesExamples
  Any possible kinesis would have been limited to the premaxilla and maxilla.
  Details of cranial anatomy contradict a previous model of cranial kinesis by severely limiting the skull's potential mobility.
  This differs from the construction of, for example, carnosaurs, which tended to solid bones but with considerable cranial kinesis.
  A high level of skull kinesis seems to be the rule among most other diapsids.
  The action of the jaws linkage during cranial kinesis is to transmit ventral jaw rotation into maxillary rotation for the purpose of protruding the premaxilla forward toward the prey.

Origin

Early 17th century: from Greek kinēsis 'movement', from kinein 'to move'.
