Abstract

Logik versus Rhetorik – Das Buch rückt einen Konflikt in den Blick, der das Selbstverständnis des abendländischen Denkens wesentlich mitgeprägt hat. Vor diesem Hintergrund läßt sich die gegenwärtige (an F.Nietzsche orientierte) 'postmoderne' Rückkehr der Rhetorik als ein Aufbegehren gegen logisches Denken in 'scharf begrenzten Begriffen' (G. Frege) begreifen. Mit der rhetorischen Wende geht eine Kritik des Rationalitätsbegriffs einher, in der die anthropologische Frage nach dem angemessenen Verhältnis des Menschen zur Welt – im Widerstreit von wissenschaftlicher und ästhetischer Weltauffassung – aufgeworfen wird. In historisch-systematischen Untersuchungen zu Themen wie 'Logisches und analogisches Denken', 'Nonsense-Poesie', 'Rätsel', 'Witz und Scharfsinn', 'Fakten und Fiktionen', 'Beispiel und Begriff' wird den Motiven beider Weltauffassungen nachgegangen mit dem Ziel, den Widerstreit aufzuheben und logische und rhetorische Erkenntnisformen als einander ergänzend zur Anerkennung zu bringen.

Abstract

The Greek rhetorician Dionysius of Halicarnassus was active in Augustan Rome. For a long time, modern scholars have regarded him as a rather mediocre critic, whose works were only interesting because of the references to earlier scholars and the citations of literary fragments. By interpreting Dionysius’ views within the context of his rhetorical programme, this book shows that Dionysius was in fact an intelligent scholar, who combined theories and methods from various language disciplines and used them for his own practical purposes. His rhetorical writings not only inform us about the linguistic knowledge of intellectuals at the end of the first century BC, but also demonstrate the close connections between philology, technical grammar, philosophy, music studies and rhetoric.

Abstract

The message from educators, the tech community, and even politicians is clear: everyone should learn to code. To emphasize the universality and importance of computer programming, promoters of coding for everyone often invoke the concept of "literacy," drawing parallels between reading and writing code and reading and writing text. In this book, Annette Vee examines the coding-as-literacy analogy and argues that it can be an apt rhetorical frame. The theoretical tools of literacy help us understand programming beyond a technical level, and in its historical, social, and conceptual contexts. Viewing programming from the perspective of literacy and literacy from the perspective of programming, she argues, shifts our understandings of both. Computer programming becomes part of an array of communication skills important in everyday life, and literacy, augmented by programming, becomes more capacious. Vee examines the ways that programming is linked with literacy in coding literacy campaigns, considering the ideologies that accompany this couplig, and she looks at how both writing and programming encode and distribute information. She explores historical parallels between writing and programming, using the evolution of mass textual literacy to shed light on the trajectory of code from military and government infrastructure to large-scale businesses to personal use. Writing and coding were institutionalized, domesticated, and then established as a basis for literacy.
