"This book explores the history of rhetorical thought and examines the gradual association of different aspects of rhetorical theory with two outstanding fourth-century BCE writers: Lysias and Isocrates. It highlights the parallel development of the rhetorical tradition that became understood, on the one hand, as a domain of style and persuasive speech, associated with the figure of Lysias, and, on the other, as a kind of philosophical enterprise which makes significant demands on moral and political education in antiquity, epitomized in the work of Isocrates. There are two pivotal moments in which the two rhetoricians were pitted against each other as representatives of different modes of cultural discourse: Athens in the fourth century BCE, as memorably portrayed in Plato's Phaedrus, and Rome in the first century BCE when Dionysius of Halicarnassus proposes to create from the united Lysianic and Isocratean rhetoric the foundation for the ancient rhetorical tradition"-- Provided by publisher.

This is the first in a series of volumes which together will provide an entirely new history of ancient Greek (narrative) literature. Its organization is formal rather than biographical. It traces the history of central narrative devices, such as the narrator and his narratees, time, focalization, characterization, description, speech, and plot. It offers not only analyses of the handling of such a device by individual authors, but also a larger historical perspective on the manner in which it changes over time and is put to different uses by different authors in different genres. The first volume lays the foundation for all volumes to come, discussing the definition and boundaries of narrative, and the roles of its producer, the narrator, and recipient, the narratees.

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.

This volume brings together six papers relating to oratory and orators in public fora of Classical Greece and Rome. Edwards and Bers explore aspects of oratorical delivery in the Athenian courts and Assembly, including the demands placed on orators by the physical settings. Tempest examines the conceptions of oratorical competence and incompetence, particularly in respect of performance, as they are implied in Cicero’s criticisms of the rival prosecutor in the trial of Verres. Papers by Karambelas and Powell look at evidence for the importance of advocacy in the Second Sophistic and the late Roman Empire respectively. In an introduction, the editors discuss recurrent themes connected with the orator’s competence and performance, while the final paper of the volume, by Lord Justice Laws, reflects on the continuing relevance of rhetoric in the modern, highly professionalised practice of the law in England.

Hauptbeschreibung Diese Studie rekonstruiert die hellenistische philosophische Debatte über die Rhetorik. In der heterogenen Quellenlage gelingt es Liebersohn, zwei Phasen in den Debatten um den Wert der Rhetorik und zwei Typen von Debatten zu unterscheiden: eine innerphilosophische und eine zwischen Philosophen und Rhetoren.Zunächst wird das genaue Umfeld dieses Disputs untersucht, also die Orte, Daten und Personen. Im Anschluss werden fünf Hauptargumente gegen Rhetorik rekonstruiert, die alle vom Anspruch der Rhetorik, zu den Künsten zu gehören, ausgehen.Diese fünf Geg

Dans le monde grec du V siècle avant J.-C., la rhétorique est née du désir de trouver une alternative aux conflits armés. Paradoxe incontestable: plus de deux millénaires après, la rhétorique se porte bien... et la guerre aussi. Cette longue familiarité de l'argumentation et de la violence qu'elle est censée conjurer pose la question du statut et de la finalité du discours politique, tout comme elle conduit à s'interroger sur les raisons d'un échec au moins partiel. Ce discours n'a jamais cessé de faire l'objet d'un débat, sans cesse renouvelé par les conditions historiques, sociales et culturelles. Voilà pourquoi un spécialiste de rhétorique grecque, un latiniste philosophe, un linguiste et une spécialiste de communication ont souhaité organiser en commun un colloque international d'une semaine, dans la tradition des rencontres de Cerisy, afin de faire le point sur cette notion de discours politique et de jeter un pont entre la tradition rhétorique et les théories actuelles du discours et de la communication. Le présent volume réunit les contributions des intervenants. Elles sont, comme prévu, très diverses : Cicéron y croise Lionel Jospin, le commentaire d'une affiche publicitaire voisine avec l'étude du culte de la personnalité sous Louis XIV, on y découvre les ruses de la question rhétorique à l'Assemblée nationale aujourd'hui, le rôle de révélateur que jouent les gaffes commises par les hommes politiques ou encore l'importance du corps des acteurs et de l'espace politique lors de la dernière élection municipale à Toulouse, etc. Mais quelques grandes questions fédèrent ces enquêtes et les mettent en résonance par-delà les siècles, les disciplines et les méthodes : à partir de quand, pourquoi, dans quelle mesure peut-on parler du discours politique comme d'un genre spécifique, comment se constituent, se transmettent et se réalisent les normes de ce discours? Quelle part accorder à la théâtralité dans le dispositif scénique et/ou télévisuel où il s'incarne?…

This volume collects papers on pragmatic perspectives on ancient theatre. Scholars working on literature, linguistics, theatre will find interesting insights on verbal and non-verbal uses of language in ancient Greek and Roman Drama. Comedies and Tragedies spanning from 5th B.C.E. to 1st C.E. are investigated in terms of im/politeness, theory of mind, interpersonal pragmatics, body language, to name some of the approaches which afford new interpretations of difficult textual passages or shed new light into nuances of characterisation, or possibilities of performance. Words, silence, gestures, do things, all the more so in dramatic dialogues on stage.
