| description |
Events, as Mair rightly points out in Chapter 1 of this book, are no new
phenomenon. Events, whether ceremonial, religious or sporting, have featured
in all organized societies from earliest recorded time and continue to be an
important dimension of contemporary living at a local, national and global scale.
Clearly, alongside ancient events was to be found a level of organization and a
requirement for workers to support such events, in their development and set up,
delivery and post-event dismantlement. What is unclear is the status of those
engaged in event organization in terms of their demographics, relationship to
those leading the event, whether political or religious, or indeed whether they
were free citizens or enslaved labour. Discussion of such ancient events in the
literature today does not give us much indication of their organization or who the
event workers were, although we may surmise answers to some of these quandaries – their frequent religious or political context means that the primary source
for organization would have been within the respective religious or political elites
or, indeed, both groups. Slave labour was commonplace in ancient societies,
such as those in Egypt, Greece and Rome, so it is reasonable to assume a significant role for this class of workers at major events. Notwithstanding many
evident differences between events in the ancient world and those with which we
are familiar today, the nature of organization and work is likely to have included
many tasks with which contemporary event organizers will be familiar |
