‘Citizenship’ is a contested term which today inspires both policy-makers and radical activists. David Wiles traces this ideal to its classical roots, examing both theatre and citizenship as performative practices. Wiles show how people fuction collectivelly rather than as individuals, for example through choruses or crowd behaviour in the audithorium. He explores historic tensions between the passivity of the spectator and the active engagement of a citezen, paying special attention to dramatists like Aristophanes.
