Cyclic Permutations - but not what you think This question is not about elements of $S_n$ that consist of a single $n$-cycle, though naturally it's related.  
Instead, consider permutations modulo the action of $(123\ldots n)$.  That is, we want ABCD to be the same as BCDA and CDAB and DABC.  (It's optional whether this also is the same as DCBA, but for now let's say it's not.)  I am primarily interested in the graph that these generate, sort of like the Cayley graph for $S_n$ with generators $(12),(23),\ldots (n-1 n),(n1)$, but with vertices and edges identified.  (I don't think this is a Cayley graph of a quotient of $S_n$; I don't even think this set is identifiable with a group since that subgroup isn't normal, if I recall correctly.)
What are these things called, and are there references to them in the literature?  (Say to their symmetry groups, rep. theory, or whatever else.) I can't imagine there aren't, but because 'cyclic permutations' nearly always means something else, it's frustrating to look for this.  I found pages of MathSciNet references to those terms, and none were about this.  Not surprisingly!  But presumably combinatorics experts have studied them - not just counted them, though Polya enumeration immediately comes to mind.
Edit: For a concrete example, imagine people around a dinner table, where you don't care which chair you sit in, you just care what the arrangement is.  Maybe it's been thought of that way before?
Edit: Well, I have to say that Tilman and Mark Sapir both have been very helpful, but I guess Tilman answered the actual question.  
Very oddly, I can only find ONE paper on MathSciNet that actually deals with the object I am interested in directly - Woodall's "Cyclic-order graphs and Zarankiewicz's crossing-number conjecture" proves some basic facts.  Nearly every reference to such things is about using cyclic orders without considering all of them (in graph theory or queueing theory), is using them to create ribbon graphs, or is about extending partial cyclic orders to complete cyclic orders.
 A: They're called cyclic orders or cyclic orderings. Since they don't form a group, as you noticed, there's no representation theory. They play a role in the study of moduli spaces via ribbon graphs, for example. A ribbon graph is a graph with a cyclic ordering of the edges incident to every vertex. If you look for "cyclic order" and "ribbon graph", you'll probably find some sources. 
A: An elementary way to describe the moduli spaces alluded in the reply of Tilman is as follows:
Glue the sides of two oriented polygons $P,P'$ with $n$ sides, counterclockwise labeled from 1 to $n$ by a permutation $\sigma$ by identifying side $i$ of $P$ with side $\sigma(i)$ of $P'$ in the unique orientation-preserving way. The result is a compact surface (corresponding to a Riemann surface) $\Sigma$ depending only on the class of $\sigma$
modulo the left and right action of $(1,2,\dots,n)$. The ribbon graph alluded by Tilman is
essentially a small neighbourhood of the boundary of $P$ (or $P'$) in $\Sigma$. In other terms, one obtains in this way exactly all ribbon graphs coming from graphs $\Gamma$
having $n$ edges in a compact surfaces $\Sigma$ such that $\Sigma\setminus \Gamma$ consists
of two topological discs containing both $\Gamma$ in their boundary.
One way of obtaining such graphs is by so-called "joins", a special type of skew-configurations of lines in $\mathbb R^3$ (a skew-configuration is an isotopy class of finitely many lines with no coplanar pairs of lines), first studied by Viro and collaborators. (This is in fact not quite correct, "joins" need two more types of moves in
order to get things up to isotopy, but most joins are "without non-trivial blocks" and
correspond thus morally to such classes (this is also not quite correct: one has
also to consider the action of the orientation reverting involution $(1,n)(2,n-2)\cdots$)).
A: Here is one interpretation of this set in terms of Hochschild homology. Let $A$ be the group algebra of $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb Z$, and let $B$ be the group algebra of $S_n$ (say over $\mathbb C$ for simplicity). There is a map $A \to B$ taking the generator to the $n$-cycle $(1 2 \cdots n)$, and this makes $B$ an $A$-bimodule. Then the set you define is a basis for the Hochschild homology $HH_0(A, B)$. (Of course, this isn't combinatorial, so I don't know if this is useful for your purposes.)

A: I think what you get is the Schreier coset graph for the subgroup generated by the $n$-cycle.
