They also reflect social and gender roles in archaic Athens. This study explores the phenomenon of spectators through a database built from a census of the Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, which reveals that the figures flourished in Athenian vase painting during the last two-thirds of the sixth century b.c.e. Using models developed from the psychoanalysis and the theory of the gaze, ritual studies, and gender studies, Stansbury- O'Donnell shows how these spectators emerge as models for social and gender identification in the archaic city, encoding in their gestures and behavior archaic attitudes about gender and status. / CONTENTS List of Illustrations Acknowledgments ONE SEEING SPECTATORS 1.1 Earlier Work on Spectators - 1.2 Approaching Spectators TWO DEFINING SPECTATORS 2.1 Definitions and Classification of Spectators - 2.2 Developing Data on Spectators - 2.3 CVA Census: Results and Analysis - 2.4 Beazley Archive Sample-2.5 Discussion THREE VISION AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY 3.1 Lacan and Psychoanalytic Theory - 3.2 Greek Theories ot Vision - 3.3 A Model for Spectators, Narrative, and the Viewing Experience - 3.4 Discussion FOUR RITUAL PERFORMANCE, SPECTATORS, AND IDENTITY 4.1 Ritual in Archaic Athens - 4.2 Ritual 'Theory - 4.3 Choral Performance in Archaic Greece - 4.4 Reflections of Ritual in Spectators - 4.5 Discussion FIVE MEN AND YOUTHS: GENDER AND SOCIAL IDENTITY 5.1 Gestures and Categorization - 5.2 Gestures among Adult Male Spectators - 5.3 Gestures among Youthful Male Spectators - 5.4 Reactions of Male Spectators to Events - 5.5 Discussion SIX WOMEN AS SPECTATORS: GENDER AND SOCIAL IDENTITY 6.1 Gestures among Women Spectators - 6.2 The Reactions of Women Spectators to Specific Events - 6.3 Discussion.
