Abstract

Public speech was a key aspect of politics in Republican Rome, both in theory and in practice, and recent decades have seen a surge in scholarly discussion of its significance and performance. Yet the partial nature of the surviving evidence means that our understanding of its workings is dominated by one man, whose texts are the only examples to have survived in complete form since antiquity: Cicero.This collection of essays aims to broaden our conception of the oratory of the Roman Republic by exploring how it was practiced by individuals other than Cicero, whether major statesmen, jobbing lawyers, or, exceptionally, the wives of politicians. It focuses particularly on the surviving fragments of such oratory, with individual essays tackling the challenges posed both by the partial and often unreliable nature of the evidence about these other Roman orators-often known to us chiefly through the tendentious observations of Cicero himself-and the complex intersections of the written fragments and the oral phenomenon. Collectively, the essays are concerned with the methods by which we are able to reconstruct non-Ciceronian oratory and the exploration of new ways of interpreting this evidence to tell us about the content, context, and delivery of those speeches. They are arranged into two thematic Parts, the first addressing questions of reception, selection, and transmission, and the second those of reconstruction, contextualization, and interpretation: together they represent a comprehensive overview of the non-Ciceronian speeches that will be of use to all ancient historians, philologists, and literary classicists with an interest in the oratory of the Roman Republic.

Abstract

"The present volume collects the proceedings of the international colloquium "Lessico, argomentazioni e strutture retoriche nella polemica di età cristiana (III-V sec.)", held in Lecce (Italy) 9-10 April 2010. Papers are organized in three parts: 'I. Temi e aspetti della polemica religiosa'; 'II. Lessico e strutture retoriche del discorso polemico'; 'III. Religione e retorica: sviluppi successivi'. The first one brings together papers which examine the contents of some polemics in the patristic age; the second one privileges the rhetorical and lexical approach to the polemical texts; the third one is a kind of incursion in a field which, only at first sight, appears to be far from the core of the volume. All studies have the aim to approach the themes and the forms of the polemic and therefore to highlight the features related to "sapientia" and "eloquentia", in the words of Augustine, features which play a leading role in the intra-ecclesial and extra-ecclesial polemical debate with heathens and Jews".

Abstract

Les traités de rhétorique appartiennent à la littérature technique, textes dont on interroge en général le seul contenu. Or, s'ils ont pour objet les ressources du langage, ils obéissent eux-mêmes à des stratégies singulières de composition et d'expression. Ce volume explore la question de l'écriture du traité ou du manuel de rhétorique dans l'Antiquité, dans toute sa diversité formelle, et interroge l'art que le rhéteur ou le critique met lui-même en oeuvre pour rendre compte des textes qu'il commente ou des techniques qu'il enseigne.Dans une perspective diachronique - de la Rhétorique à Alexandre à Martianus Capella, avec une ouverture sur la poétique néo-latine - on s'y intéresse aux choix de genre, de la liste au dialogue, aux traits de style du théoricien, des figures étudiées aux figures employées pour les décrire, aux métaphores du commentaire, aux jeux de contamination du discours critique par la littérature citée, à la composition qui se révèle lorsque l'inventaire est considéré comme une oeuvre.
