dc.description.abstract | [EN] Hand gestures play an important role in human communication. Although the study of their repertoires and roles for past communities is a popular field of research, there has been no attempt so far to study their visibility during public events. The aim of this study was to determine the maximum number of people who could see hand gestures well enough to understand their meaning. Using gestures taken from ancient Roman rhetorical treatises, which we divided into three classes related to the detail of the gestures (fingers, hand, arm, or arms), we conducted a series of experiments to determine the maximum distance from which each class of gestures could be seen. We used the results, including regression analysis, to conduct visibility analyses for two case studies: one on the rostra on the Late Republican Forum Romanum in Rome; and the other on Pyramid No 3 in the centre of Late-Classical Mayan Tikal. We used the calculation of the areas where gestures were visible to estimate crowd sizes by drawing on crowd behaviour observation during contemporary public gatherings. They show not only how many people could have potentially seen the gestures, but also what percentage of the theoretically available space could have been occupied by people who had the potential to see them. According to the findings, only a little under half (44.8%) of the maximum possible audience were able to detect all types of gestures (various levels of detail) at the LR Roman Forum, while at Pyramid No 3 in Tikal, just a mere 16.7% were able to do so. We believe that the results presented and the methodology used can be applied to analyse any public space, regardless of place and time, thus providing a valuable tool to comprehend past public assemblies. | es_ES |
dc.description.abstract | [ES] Los gestos con las manos juegan un papel importante en la comunicación humana. Aunque el estudio de sus repertorios y roles en comunidades pasadas es un campo de investigación popular, hasta ahora no se ha intentado estudiar su visibilidad durante eventos públicos. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar hallar el número máximo de personas que podían ver los gestos de las manos lo suficientemente bien como para comprender su significado. Usando gestos tomados de los antiguos tratados de retórica romana, que dividimos en tres clases relacionadas con el detalle de los gestos (dedos, mano, brazo o brazos), llevamos a cabo una serie de experimentos que para determinan determinar la distancia máxima desde la cual cada clase de gestos podría ser visto. Usamos los resultados, incluido el análisis de regresión, para realizar análisis de visibilidad en dos casos de estudio, : uno en la tribuna del Foro Romano republicano tardío en Roma y el otro en la Pirámide n.° 3 en el centro de Tikal maya del período Clásico tardío. Usamos el cálculo de las áreas donde los gestos eran visibles para estimar el tamaño de la multitud a partir de las observaciones del comportamiento de las personas durante las reuniones públicas contemporáneas. Muestran Se muestran no solo cuántas personas se estima que podrían haber visto potencialmente los gestos, sino también qué porcentaje del espacio teóricamente disponible podría haber sido ocupado por personas que potencialmente los vieron. De acuerdo con los hallazgos, solo un poco menos de la mitad (44.8%) del máximo de audiencia posible pudo detectar todo tipo de gestos (varios niveles de detalle) en el Foro Romano LR, mientras; sin embargo, que en la Pirámide No 3 en Tikal, solo un exiguo 16,7% pudo hacerlo. Creemos que los resultados presentados y la metodología utilizada se pueden utilizar usar para analizar cualquier espacio público, independientemente del lugar y el tiempo, proporcionando una herramienta valiosa para comprender las asambleas públicas de tiempos pasados. | es_ES |
