Abstract:

Abstract This essay reads Anidjar’s “critique of Christianity” to confront the history of Western rhetoric, in its separation of figure from referent. He reads blood as catachrestic—catachresis not as abuse of language but its actualization. From the perspective of the tropological system, one might track the different meanings of blood (metaphorical, metonymic, symbolic) of historical Christianity. But from the asymmetrical perspective of catachresis, blood maps out the divisive activity of Christianity, even in its institution of the propriety of figure. Blood thus does not deliver a revolutionary program somehow “against” Christianity so much as demonstrate its impropriety. In so doing Blood partakes of the temporality of besiegement expressed in the Darwish poem with which the essay opens, where the possibility of escape is neither relinquished nor celebrated but endured. A postscript takes up Anidjar’s reading of Moses and Monotheism in order to raise the question of Islam.

Abstract:

Abstract Although traditionally viewed from a phenomenological perspective, Henry James's compositional device of the center of consciousness can be understood rhetorically as a representational strategy that illustrates the problematics of figurative language and causality. The Jamesian reflector does not simply "re-flect" but crucially intervenes in the causal logic of the texts it claims to focalize. The reflector's relation to the material he or she mediates is one of catachresis, or of "translation," of figurative transfer without a nonfigurative ground. But the rhetorical consequences of this catachrestic mediation cannot be reconciled with James's claims for the center of consciousness as the formal and meta-physical ground of his fictions. James's center of consciousness texts typically reach a representational impasse that thematizes this incompatibility and sacri-fices the central consciousness himself or herself in an allegory of this rhetorical situation.

Abstract:

This article examines the Russian writer and publicist Zakhar Prilepin, a visible representative of Russiaʼs patriotic currents since 2014, and a well-known activist of the radical oppositional National Bolshevik Party (nbp) since 2006. We argue that Prilepinʼs public views point at particular catachrestic political activism. Catachresis is understood here as a socio-semantic misuse of conventional concepts as well as a practice in which political identifications blur the distinctions defining established political activity. The background for the catachrestic politics, as used in this article, was formed by the 1990s post-Soviet turmoil and by Russiaʼs weak socio-political institutions, which facilitate and sustain the space for the self-purposeful radicalism and non-conformism – the trademarks of nbp. Prilepinʼs and nbpʼs narrated experience of fatherlessness related to the 1990s was compensated by personal networks and cultural idols, which often present mutually conflicting positions. In Pierre Bourdieuʼs terminology, Prilepin and the Nationalist Bolshevik’s case illustrate the strength of the literary field over the civic-political one. Catachrestic politics helps to conceptualize not only Prilepin’s activities but also contributes to the study of the political style of the National Bolshevik Party, Prilepinʼs main political base. As a whole, the paper provides insights into the study of Russiaʼs public intellectuals who have played an important role in Russiaʼs political discussion in the place of of well-established political movements.

Abstract:

This research aims to understand how a teacher of elementary school, a public school located in the city of Maceió / AL, develops the style and catachresis in precarious contexts. Style and catachresis are categories developed by the Clinical Activity representing part of the subject's uniqueness, style and the personal mode of appropriation of collective gender and catachresis, a (re) creation of professional looking for improvements to their activity. The school insecurity manifested itself in aggravating way throughout the research.The guiding epistemological presuppositions of the research are the cultural-historical theories and the Clinical Activity. The techniques used were: life history, recurring interviews, semi-structured and centralized interviews, documental analysis, footages and observation sessions and simple self-confrontations. As the results, we found out that the teacher has a traditional style and plays educational experiences of his former teachers. Subjectivity appears strong in their teaching activity and the lack of a professional group, continuing education of quality and precarious context collaborate to the predominantly reproductive actions, subjective and traditional trend, this teacher.
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo entender como uma professora do Ensino Fundamental I, de uma escola pública estadual localizada no Município de Maceió/AL, desenvolve o estilo e a catacrese em contextos de precarização. Estilo e catacrese são categorias desenvolvidas pela Clínica da Atividade que representam parte da singularidade do sujeito, sendo o estilo o modo pessoal de apropriação do gênero coletivo e catacrese, uma (re) criação do profissional em busca de melhoras para sua atividade. A precarização da escola se manifestou de forma agravante durante toda a pesquisa. Os pressupostos epistemológicos orientadores da pesquisa são as teorias histórico-cultural e a Clinica da Atividade. As técnicas utilizadas foram: história de vida, entrevista recorrente, entrevistas semi-estruturada e centralizada, análise documental, sessões de observações e filmagens e de autoconfrontações simples. Nos resultados, identificamos que a professora tem um estilo tradicional e reproduz experiências educacionais de seus antigos professores. A subjetividade aparece forte na sua atividade docente e a falta de um coletivo profissional, de formação continuada de qualidade e o contexto precário colaboram para as ações predominantemente reprodutivas, subjetivas e de tendência tradicional, dessa professora.

Abstract:

A reexamination of John Donne's Holy Sonnet “Batter my heart,” especially one looking at the sonnet's relationship to Early Modern rhetoric, is long overdue. In this paper, I hope to show that a focus on Donne's relationship to Early Modern rhetoric yields several useful new insights. I argue specifically that Donne was probably exposed to Non-Ramist rhetorical methods and theory at many points in his education, from his childhood to his college years to his years at the Inns of Court. Furthermore, Non-Ramist rhetoric has moral implications, suggesting that aspects of an author's feelings, character, and desires can be analyzed by looking at the writer's rhetorical choices in relation to a specific audience in a specific situation. After discussing Donne's rhetorical education, I will look at how the rhetorical decisions of the poetic speaker in Donne's “Batter my heart” reveal his opinions of God and develop his attitudes toward God over the course of the poem. Indeed, the poetic speaker uses rhetoric that exerts power back on him, causing him to change: whereas at the beginning of the poem the poetic speaker thinks he controls his relationship with God, at the end he sees himself as God's humble subject. Ultimately, the poetic speaker's feelings of utter separation from God at the end of the poem actually yield a sense that he has found God and has gained a sense of awe surrounding the Divine.

Abstract:

This study examines the ambivalence of the Balkans by analysing representations of collective identities in plays written since 1980 by major dramatists from the region. It builds upon recent studies which deconstruct Balkanism i.e. western discourse of the Balkans as Europe's 'incomplete self'.

Abstract:

This essay offers a reading of J.M. Coetzee's 2003 Nobel Lecture, "He and His Man," a narrative featuring the characters of Robinson Crusoe and Daniel Defoe that borrows extensively from Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year (1722) and Tour through the Whole Island of Great Britain (1724-26). In it Coetzee whimsically explores several concerns of central importance for the activities of reading and writing, most notably the seemingly unavoidable (though ostensibly disabling) phenomenon of displacement or substitution that -- at its most generalizable level -- is best characterized as catachresis.

Abstract:

New atheists face an old problem that entangles them with their theist opponents. The fundamental cosmological question—why does the world exist?—cannot be answered in scientific terms. As questions of cause slip into infinite regress, new atheists, like the theists they resist, must posit that something simply exists: something must be granted exemption from causal reasoning. This chapter first examines new atheists’ responses to the aporia described above, then analyzes several rhetorical tropes they deploy to supplement science proper. These tropes include paralepsis, a sarcasm cluster (apodioxis, tapinosis, diasyrmus), pathopoeia, and the linked tropes of catachresis and metalepsis. Especially with the last three tropes, new atheists find themselves entangled with the religious discourse they mean to supplant.
