{"title":"<i>Permanent Crisis: The Humanities in a Disenchanted Age</i>, by Paul Reitter and Chad Wellmon","authors":"Paul Reitter, Chad Wellmon, Ljiljana Radenovic, Vessela Valiavitcharska","doi":"10.5325/jhistrhetoric.26.2.0267","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5325/jhistrhetoric.26.2.0267","url":null,"abstract":"Permanent Crisis addresses a common misconception: that the humanities were devalued or displaced by the rise of modern science. Rather, as Paul Reitter and Chad Wellmon argue, “the modern humanities were not a casualty of the modern university and specialization—they were a product of them” (52). The social and historical developments of the nineteenth century that led to the foundation of the new, specialized German university in Berlin in 1809 also saw the rise of the modern humanities, whose self-appointed function was much grander than that of their predecessors, the seven liberal arts. Rapid technological and scientific progress was accompanied by a similarly rapid fragmentation of knowledge and a decline in the unifying role of the church and religion. The humanities, therefore, as Reitter and Wellmon argue, suddenly assumed a new role: on the one hand, to serve as a corrective to disciplinary specialization and fragmentation and tie all knowledge together and, on the other, to provide moral guidance, meaning, and a unified picture of the world to those who studied them. This epistemic and ethical ideal was to become “the moral and rhetorical project” that offered the hope of unifying the modern university and created a kind of “secular sanctity” (52) that would produce the progressive moral subject. “What the Bible does for the masses, Homer does for the educated,” proclaimed August Wilhelm von Hofmann, rector of the University of Berlin. The humanities then were to provide “moral consolation and unity [for] educated professionals” (151).Reitter and Wellmon trace both the enthusiasm and the deep reservations about this new project. Parallels with the contemporary American university are frequent and convincing. The proposed new goal for the universities produced the identity of the academic, the ideal scholar set apart in complete and ascetic devotion to the pursuit of knowledge. At the same time, the new disciplinary specialization gave rise to fierce competition to attract researchers of national reputation, at the expense of the growing numbers of nonsalaried faculty who taught lower-level courses and tried to produce research in a desperate bid to achieve recognition in the form of a permanent post.Neither the desired unity of knowledge nor the proposed moral vision was ever achieved. The pressures of disciplinary specialization were coupled with a climate of political distrust that encouraged only research of a highly technical nature. At the same time, German intellectuals, preoccupied with the idea of cultural decline, berated the German university for failing to halt cultural disintegration and moral rot. Humanities professors had, as the educational reformer Friedrich Diesterweg stated pointedly, abandoned their duty to participate in the moral upbringing and shaping of students’ characters (71). Yet intellectual freedom—understood as morally and religiously unencumbered inquiry—sat uneasily next to demands to inculcate moral com","PeriodicalId":38049,"journal":{"name":"Advances in the History of Rhetoric","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135856195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Democrats and Republicans alike have called it a defilement or a desecration of the nation’s sacred house. This article adds to the literature on Capitol riot rhetoric by proposing a theory of desecration as a rhetoric in motu because desecration enacts movement across a sacred boundary. We outline key features of a rhetoric of desecration and analyze Win McNamee’s Pulitzer Prize–winning Capitol riot photographs to illuminate why the riot aftermath has elevated legal action to the status of spiritual warfare.","PeriodicalId":38049,"journal":{"name":"Advances in the History of Rhetoric","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135856186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is made in order to realize the real-time monitoring of gob temperature and the accurate positioning of high temperature area, so that the fire prevention and extinguishing work in gob can be targeted. In this study, the previously developed COMBUSS-3D software was used to predict the high temperature area in the gob of 85001 working face of Yangmeiwu Coal Mine and II830 working face of Zhuxianzhuang Coal Mine in China, and the continuous monitoring system of gob temperature was independently developed to realize the real-time monitoring of gob temperature, achieving the purpose of accurate positioning of high temperature area in gob. The results show that the high temperature area of the gob of 85001 working face of Yangmeiwu Coal Mine was in the range of approximate circle centered on the point (36.6, 30), and the maximum temperature was 31.7 °C. The high temperature area of the gob of II830 working face in Zhuxianzhuang Coal Mine presented an approximate ellipse centered on (28.2, 25), and the long axis was parallel to the working face, and the maximum temperature was 43.9 °C.

Neither Perelman nor Olbrechts-Tyteca were well versed in the French tradition of rhetoric as poetics. However, in two lectures Perelman gave late in his life, he offered a surprising description of the influence of Jean Paulhan, the French literary critic and long-time director of the Nouvelle Revue française, and of thirteenth-century Italian author and notary Brunetto Latini, on the turn to rhetoric. In addition, this essay situates these lectures as a critical response to the claim made by three important French thinkers, Paul Ricoeur, Roland Barthes, and Gérard Genette, that they had recovered rhetoric for the study of expression and thus as poetics.","PeriodicalId":38049,"journal":{"name":"Advances in the History of Rhetoric","volume":"22 1","pages":"276 - 289"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15362426.2019.1671701","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41636713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
