When Citizens were Musicians Flute, Aulos and Public Participation in the Greek City - 2004.
66
Ancient democratic City is defined in political thought as a holist society which prescribes political participation. Based on a musical sociology method, this paper intends to show that several music practices in Athens and Sparta, like aulos or flute, illustrate this participative ethos, with a breaking point in the 5th century B.C. From then on, the growing use of musical specialists in tragedy, a widening discrepancy between professionals and amateurs, and the development of domestic uses of the flute evidence a form of individuation, albeit partial. If these processes do not account for the constitution of the modern self, they do express the fledgling traits of an individual identity well before christianity.
