But if the cacophony of our modern political discourse can teach us anything, it is that negotiating power and legitimacy is an ongoing conversation, not a monologue. \u003ci\u003ePomp, Circumstance, and the Performance of Politics\u003c\/i\u003e investigates moments and spaces in the premodern world where audiences had the opportunity to weigh in on the messages their leaders were sending. How did ordinary people experience and contribute to their political realities, and what strategies did rulers use to gain support? Bringing together scholars working in a wide variety of disciplines and time periods, from prehispanic Mesoamerica and Early Historic India to the Assyrian Empire and papal Rome, this book takes a bottom-up approach to evaluating the risks and rewards of acting \"politically correct\"--or incorrect--in the ancient world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47888409428119,"sku":"9781614911067","price":4746.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781614911067.webp?v=1781165751","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/pomp-circumstance-and-the-performance-of-politics-acting-politically-correct-in-the-ancient-world-9781614911067","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
