| Summary: | Since it is not possible to resort to participant observation, it is extremely difficult to reconstruct the forms and meanings of dance in a past society. This paper, adopting ancient Mesopotamia as its field of investigation, tries to overcome these limitations by resorting to an analysis of the lexicon and narrative of dance. The aim is to reconstruct part of the semantics of the ancient near-eastern dance, investigating its different symbologies and values. In doing so, clear links will emerge with the spheres of war, play and confusion of the senses. (English) |
