Eirene Visvardi redefines choral action, analyzes choruses that enact fear and pity, and juxtaposes them to the Athenian \u003ci\u003edêmos\u003c\/i\u003e in Thucydides' \u003ci\u003eHistory\u003c\/i\u003e. Considered together, these texts undermine the sharp divide between emotion and reason and address a preoccupation that emerges as central in Athenian life: how to channel the motivational power of collective emotion into judicious action and render it conducive to cohesion and collective prosperity. Through their performance of emotion, tragic choruses raise the question of which collective voices deserve a hearing in the institutions of the polis and suggest diverse ways to envision passionate judgment and action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eirene Visvardi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004269290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004269293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Eirene Visvardi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48799128617215,"sku":"9789004269293","price":193.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/emotion-in-action-eirene-visvardi-9789004269293","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
