Inhaltsangabe
Life in ancient Rome was relentlessly public, and oratory was its heart. This study of oratorical gestures and crowd acclamations as methods of communication at public spectacles sets out to recreate vital aspects of these performances and to recapture the original context of ancient spectacles as interactive, dramatic, and contentious public performances. Investigates how orators employed a sophisticated system of hand and body gestures, and examines how the audience responded through rhythmically shouted comments. The author is assistant professor of humanistic studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Dust jacket is fully intact. Contents mostly clean and bright. Sound and serviceable overall. Publisher's note: "Life in Rome was relentlessly public, and oratory was at its heart. Orations were dramatic spectacles in which the speaker deployed an arsenal of rhetorical tricks and strategies aimed at arousing the emotions of the audience, and spectators responded vigorously and vocally with massed chants of praise or condemnation. Unfortunately, many aspects of these performances have been lost. In the first in-depth study of oratorical gestures and crowd acclamations as methods of communication at public spectacles, Gregory Aldrete sets out to recreate these vital missing components and to recapture the original context of ancient spectacles as interactive, dramatic, and contentious public performances."--Jacket xxv, 227.
