Abstract

Abstract This paper examines Aeschines’s speech Against Timarchus to offer frameworks for rhetoric to examine the historical particularities of sex work. Drawing on feminist and queer rhetorics, this paper rereads Against Timarchus as well as scholarly receptions of the speech to discuss how Timarchus has been positioned outside definitions of rhetoric in ways that highlight the instability of definitions of rhetoric and state power. This paper argues that kakos and atimia are useful concepts for rhetorical historiographers for examining sex work in classical Athens, as well as interrogating the power structures upon which a given definition of rhetoric is derived from.

雅典的转身技巧

摘要本文考察了埃斯钦的《反对蒂马尔库斯》，为研究性工作的历史特殊性提供了修辞框架。本文借鉴女权主义和酷儿修辞，重读了《反对蒂马尔库斯》以及学术界对该演讲的接受，以讨论蒂马尔库斯如何被定位在修辞定义之外，从而突出了修辞和国家权力定义的不稳定性。本文认为，kakos和atimia是修辞史官研究古典雅典性工作以及质疑修辞定义所基于的权力结构的有用概念。
