Despite its foundation in rhetoric as associated theory and practice of oral speech, the theory of rhetoric has provided us since Greek antiquity with a stable and established approach for a theoretical reflection of media and speech. This article presents the main concepts of speech that are today used in different approaches to research. It describes the historical elements of rhetoric for a typological approach to speech in five dimensions (speech as the realization of language, as an utterance, as a discourse, as a genre of traditional rhetoric, and as mediated contents). Finally, it discusses and demonstrates how these dimensions are elements of the production process of persuasive rhetoric in the theory of rhetoric that is present in the current media landscape with oral communication, speech in mechanical media, legacy media, and new media.","PeriodicalId":409335,"journal":{"name":"Logos et Littera","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122106385","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}
{"title":"Rape as catalyst to epistolary discourse and womanist bonding: Alice Walker’s reconstructive strategy in The Color Purple","authors":"F. Roshnavand","doi":"10.31902/5.3.2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31902/5.3.2","url":null,"abstract":"A patriarchal society employs several strategies to reinforce the pattern of domination and strengthen its grip on power. One of these strategies is rape, which serves as a weapon to terrorize and further subjugate women. A typical reading of any such an encounter between a male aggressor and a female entity entails the victimization of the latter, followed by her loss of bodily integrity and also subjectivity. This reading obviates the possibility of women’s resistance during and after the crime as it perpetuates men’s sexual domination and women’s vulnerability to violation as natural inevitable patterns. Nevertheless, recent feminist critics, including the American scholar Carine M. Mardorossian, reject the conventional view of women rape victims as passive and state that speaking out against the offence turns the individual victim into an active voiced agent who can not only survive the incident, but can also raise consciousness in the androcentric community and puncture the sociopolitical structure of power. Alice Walker’s The Color Purple is famous for its bold treatment of the controversial issues of rape and incest in the African American community. In line with Walker’s theory of womanism, the protagonist of the novel, constantly raped and silenced by her father and husband, transforms herself from a subservient victim into an assertive subject after establishing a meaningful discourse with other women. Through engaging in epistolary and face-to-face womanist communication, she manages to rid herself from the stigma of being a rape victim and after a while, plays the role of a savior for other oppressed women. This paper tries to analyze Walker’s deconstructive approach towards rape and shed light on the role of epistolary discourse and womanist bonding in helping the protagonist find her autonomy and voice.","PeriodicalId":409335,"journal":{"name":"Logos et Littera","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133899629","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}

Javanian","doi":"10.31902/5.3.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31902/5.3.1","url":null,"abstract":"The conventional approach to literary adaptation, which\u0000insisted on rigid adherence to the source and denounced any deviation from the\u0000established text as unprofessional and negligent, has been substituted with\u0000attitudes that define the adaptation-source relation in new ways. Bakhtinian\u0000dialogism, as one of these approaches, redefines this relation in terms of a\u0000persistent contact between the two sides as the participants of a never-ending,\u0000all-inclusive network of relations. The idea of carnivalesque, a key part of\u0000Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism, can be used in adaptation studies to reflect both\u0000on the nature of adaptation-source relation and the internal mechanisms and\u0000techniques used by a particular adapter to reverse and suspend the orders and\u0000hierarchies established in its source work. Within this framework, the present\u0000study investigates Bakhtinian carnivalesque in Justin Kurzel and Billy\u0000Morrissette’s cinematic adaptations of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth (1606).\u0000Kurzel’s Macbeth (2015), set in Scottish Highlands during the 11th century, seeks\u0000to retain the Shakespearean air while addressing its contemporary issues mostly\u0000by highlighting or adding to the elements of carnival within the play.\u0000Morrissette’s Scotland PA (2001) takes a radically different stance toward the\u0000play, though. He transforms Shakespeare’s bloody tragedy into a dark comedy\u0000about the revolt of the lower class against the social structure. The study\u0000suggests that while these two adaptations take different, and at times opposing,\u0000approaches toward the play Macbeth, they both point to the carnivalesque\u0000potential of the play which can be released in and adapted to various sociocultural contexts","PeriodicalId":409335,"journal":{"name":"Logos et Littera","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123081440","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 novel raises the issue of the firebombing of Dresden and its erasure from official history records as a part of a larger picture, which, as this article argues, has to do with geopolitical agendas pursued on the part of the allied forces during and after WWII. The novel functions as a condemnation of the way expansionist wars are justified and domesticated to the extent they are no longer perceived as problematic and the way their violence is assigned to collective amnesia by means of cover-ups and extensive propaganda. By raising the spectre of Dresden, Slaughterhouse-five aims to provide a set of corrective and magnifying glasses for the understanding of WWII and the role of the US in it, which calls for an interdisciplinary approach based on a systemic geopolitical analysis and meticulous historical input.","PeriodicalId":409335,"journal":{"name":"Logos et Littera","volume":"638 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122949877","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}
