Née dans un cadre scolaire, conçue à l’origine comme un instrument de formation et d’instruction de la jeunesse, la déclamation, qui n’était d’abord qu’un moyen, suscita un tel engouement qu'elle devint aussi très vite une fin en soi : si l’on déclamait au départ pour apprendre à parler, on déclamera bientôt pour le plaisir de déclamer ; le genre oscille donc entre instruction et distraction des élites. Par les jeux intertextuels et génériques qu'elle instaure avec d’autres productions littéraires, par les liens qu'elle tisse avec son contexte juridique, politique et social, la déclamation a été un élément essentiel de la vie culturelle antique, fonctionnant parfois comme une sorte de laboratoire des idées et des formes. Les textes ici réunis prennent en compte la déclamation antique, aussi bien grecque que latine, de Sénèque le Père jusqu’aux déclamateurs de la Troisième Sophistique, et au-delà, dans une perspective croisée permettant de mieux comprendre comment la déclamation a pu être – et rester – pendant près de deux millénaires la norme de toute culture supérieure, concourant à la transmission des valeurs, esthétiques, éthiques, juridiques, politiques, et à la fabrique des élites.

The Theatre of Justice? contains 17 chapters that offer a holistic view of performance in Greek and Roman oratorical and political contexts. This holistic view consists of the examination of two areas of techniques. The first one relates to the delivery of speeches and texts: gesticulation, facial expressions and vocal communication. The second area includes a wide diversity of techniques that aim at forging a rapport between the speaker and the audience, such as emotions, language and style, vivid imagery and the depiction of characters.0.

Demosthenes (384-322 b.c.) was an Athenian statesman and a widely read author whose life, times, and rhetorical abilities captivated the minds of generations. Sifting through the rubble of a mostly lost tradition of ancient scholarship, Craig A. Gibson tells the story of how one group of ancient scholars helped their readers understand this man's writings. This book collects for the first time, translates, and offers explanatory notes on all the substantial fragments of ancient philological and historical commentaries on Demosthenes. Using these texts to illuminate an important aspect of Graeco-Roman antiquity that has hitherto been difficult to glimpse, Gibson gives a detailed portrait of a scholarly industry that touched generations of ancient readers from the first century B.C. to the fifth century and beyond. In this lucidly organized work, Gibson surveys the physical form of the commentaries, traces the history of how they were passed down, and explains their sources, interests, and readership. He also includes a complete collection of Greek texts, English translations, and detailed notes on the commentaries.

This book contains a collection of essays on the notion of “Free Speech” in classical antiquity. The essays examine such concepts as “freedom of speech,” “self-expression,” and “censorship,” in ancient Greek and Roman culture from historical, philosophical, and literary perspectives. Among the many questions addressed are: what was the precise lexicographical valence of the ancient terms we routinely translate as 'Freedom of Speech,' e.g., Parrhesia in Greece, Licentia in Rome? What relationship do such terms have with concepts such as isêgoria , dêmokratia and eleutheria ; or libertas , res publica and imperium ? What does ancient theorizing about free speech tell us about contemporary relationships between power and speech? What are the philosophical foundations and ideological underpinnings of free speech in specific historical contexts?
