Looking particularly at Lucian's "On the Dance", a dialogue written at the height of pantomime's popularity, this cultural study of the genre offers an assessment of its importance in the symbolic economy of imperial and antiquity. It offers a reading of primary sources, as well as a wealth of interdisciplinary perspectives.
