Titel: The Athenian Institution of the Khoregia Zustand: Neu Subtitle: The Chorus, the City and the Stage Autor: Peter Wilson Produktart: Taschenbuch EAN: 9780521542135 ISBN: 9780521542135 Verlag: Cambridge University Press Genre: Music Dance & Theatre Thematik: History, Ancient History, Literary Criticism Erscheinungsdatum: 18.09.2003 Description: This book is the first major study of the means by which the classical Athenians organised and funded their many festival choruses. It explores the mechanics of the institution by which a minority of rich citizens were required to arrange and pay for a festival chorus, including choruses for tragic and comic drama, and situates this duty within the range of occasions for elite leadership in Athens' elaborate festival calendar. Peter Wilson goes on to show the importance of the khoregia to our understanding of the workings of Athenian democracy itself, and to demonstrate the degree to which the institution was itself a highly performative occasion, an opportunity for elite display in the democratic environment. The post-classical history of the khoregia and its appearance in a wide range of other Greek communities are also examined.
