En proposant de relire le livre 5, consacré à l'argumentatio, il s'agit de mieux comprendre l'articulation entre rhétorique et dialectique dans la formation rhétorique théorisée par Quintilien. Le conflit entre rhétorique et philosophie ouvre et clôt en effet l'Institution oratoire dans des passages bien connus, mais il s'exprime également, ce qui a été moins étudié, dans l'exposé technique de Quintilien, contenu dans le livre 5, sur les outils dialectiques de l'argumentation. Or, contrairement à Cicéron, qui avait préparé une circulation entre savoirs dialectiques et savoirs rhétoriques dans ses traités rhétoriques, Quintilien maintient strictement deux arts du discours sinon incompatibles, du moins hétérogènes.","PeriodicalId":40200,"journal":{"name":"Res Rhetorica","volume":"1 1","pages":"31 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72551999","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}

Recent scholarship draws attention to this strategy of linguistic accommodation. The Roman comic playwright Terence, whom Spinoza frequently paraphrases, inspires his rhetorical strategy. This essay argues that Spinoza models his accommodating style upon that of Micio, an indulgent pedagogue from Terence's comedy Adelphoe, in order to avoid attracting admiration and envy. The principles of Spinoza's Micionic writing, and his reasons for using this rhetorical strategy, offer specific contours to the emerging scholarly appreciation of a highly rhetorical philosopher.","PeriodicalId":40200,"journal":{"name":"Res Rhetorica","volume":"45 1","pages":"61 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74239706","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}

At page 103, the author seems to overlook the fact that “focus[ing] on the integrative and cohesive side” of a myth in a funeral oration was not incompatible with concealing divisions in the citizen body but could in fact be a method of actively doing so. Perhaps the book’s most valuable contribution is its sustained rhetorical analysis of the four chosen myths across different genres and institutional settings. Barbato’s discussion of Euripides’ Children of Heracles (126–133), and particularly his consideration of its use and subversion of language and themes from oratory and politics, is compelling. The readings of Lysias’ funeral oration throughout are a necessary addition to the scholarship on the speech; particularly interesting is the discussion on the Amazons and hybris in Lysias. The chapter on the Amazonomachy contains, however, the description of victims of sexual abuse and abduction by Theseus as his “love interests” (172), which was disappointing in an otherwise fairly sensitive treatment of the subject. Barbato’s book will be a valuable addition to the library of anyone studying Athenian ideology and democracy or the rhetoric of mythology.","PeriodicalId":40200,"journal":{"name":"Res Rhetorica","volume":"72 1","pages":"90 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75677246","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}

Jak wykazała analiza zawartości oraz charakterystyka retoryczna tekstów z lat 2016–2019, konflikt wynikał z niemożności sprecyzowania, czym jest symetryzm, fałszywego interpretowania intencji uczestników dyskusji oraz sporu na tle politycznym w środowisku dziennikarskim. Różne sposoby konceptualizowania symetryzmu, wygaśnięcie dyskusji oraz późniejsza obecność w dyskursie medialnym leksyki związanej z omawianym zjawiskiem wskazują, że trwa proces krystalizowania się toposu symetryzmu. Może się on utrwalić jako uniwersalne przekonanie o niejednoznaczności wszelkich życiowych zdarzeń. Nie można jednak wykluczyć, że w kontekście konfliktów światopoglądowych pozostanie jedynie negatywnie wartościującą etykietą.","PeriodicalId":40200,"journal":{"name":"Res Rhetorica","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80325332","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}

The local has traditionally been conceived as the backdrop or flat surface where rhetoric/discourse is situated, or at best as a contextual dimension of rhetorical situations. The history of usage of this term – evoking a fix and inert connotation that often indicates a bounded locality or site – has contributed to its neglect as a tool for rhetorical theory, while its actual use in rhetorical praxis has proliferated in conjunction to the turn to field and site-based methodologies and practices. By drawing on fieldwork about the rhetoricity of a post-disaster locality to ground my theoretical reflections, here I offer a conceptualization of local rhetorics via multiple ontologies and ecological theories. Finally, throughout the essay, I suggest a rhetorical-topographic approach as a methodological orientation to integrate existing theoretical and methodological pathways for exploring the multiple rhetoricity of the local.","PeriodicalId":40200,"journal":{"name":"Res Rhetorica","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81275717","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}
