The purpose of this project is to provide a thorough account of delivery by tracing the history and evolution of delivery from antiquity to the present day in order to expose the spread and transmission of proto-masculine ideologies through delivery. By looking at delivery from an evolutionary perspective, delivery no longer becomes a tool of rhetoric, but the technology of rhetoric, evolving over time in the same way the system of rhetoric itself has evolved. Contemporary scholarship on delivery continues to look at delivery as a tool—as the ink, the paper, the computer screen, the keyboard, the font, the hypertext, the web design, and so forth—of communication. Contemporary scholarship re-works the classical definition of delivery to fit into a contemporary context, and consequently ignores the proto-masculinity embedded into classical delivery and its spread from public speaking to all speaking situations—and the larger consequence of this approach is that proto-masculinity remains embedded and idealized.
Focusing specifically on delivery’s history and evolution into a post-human, cyborg technology demonstrates how proto-masculinity has operated within delivery and how proto-masculinity has been spread through delivery instruction. The importance of re-situating delivery within the rhetorical canons affects rhetoric as a whole because it demonstrates that not only is delivery still crucial to rhetoric, and possibly still the most important rhetorical canon, but also because it de-naturalizes the proto-masculine imperatives embedded within delivery and conveyed through delivered language performances.

Barbato, Matteo. "Reading ideology through myth : institutions, the orators and the past in democratic Athens." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/25941.
Full textAbstract:
My thesis investigates the construction of democratic ideology in classical Athens. Ideology has often provided an alternative tool to formal institutions for the study of Athenian political life. An approach that reconciles institutions and ideology can provide us with a fuller understanding of Athenian democracy. Rather than as a fixed set of ideas, values and beliefs shared by the majority of the Athenians, I argue that Athenian democratic ideology should be seen as the product of a constant process of ideological practice which took place within and was influenced by the institutions of the democracy. My thesis focuses in particular on the construction of shared ideas and beliefs about Athens’ mythical past. Ch. 1 lays down the methodology of my work, which is inspired by the trend in the political sciences known as New Institutionalism. Ch. 2 explores the relationship between myth and Athenian democratic institutions. I show that the Athenians interacted with myth at all levels of their public and private lives, and were thus able to appreciate mythical variants and their potential ideological value. I also show that Athenian democratic institutions were characterised by specific discursive parameters which conditioned the behaviour of Athenian political actors. A comparison between mythical narratives produced for public and private contexts shows that the discursive parameters of Athenian democratic institutions influenced the construction of shared ideas about the mythical past in Athenian public discourse. As proven in Ch. 3-5, the Athenians emphasised different values and mythical variants depending on the institutional settings of the democracy. Ch. 3 analyses the influence of institutions on the values of charis and philanthrōpia in the myth of the Athenian war in defence of the Heraclidae. Ch. 4 explores the use or absence of hybris in accounts of the Attic Amazonomachy produced for public and private contexts. Ch. 5 explores how the myth of autochthony was conceptualised in terms of exclusiveness or collective eugeneia in different Athenian institutions. My research therefore provides a dynamic and multifaceted picture of Athenian democratic ideology, and shows that the Athenian democratic institutions enabled the Athenians to produce multiple and compatible ideas about their mythical past.

Dubreuil, Raphaëla Jane. "Theatrica and political action in Plutarch's Parallel Lives." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/23432.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores Plutarch’s use of metaphors and similes of the theatre in order to represent, explore and criticise political action in his Parallel Lives. Most of the studies available on Plutarch’s use of the theatre have tended to address his understanding and employment of the tragic, that is what is defined as tragedy as a genre from the conventions of language, plot and characterisation. This approach belongs to the textual, literary aspect of theatrical production, the word of the writer, and the interpretation of the reader. Although interlinked with my study, this is not what my thesis examines. I am concerned with the performative aspect of the theatre. This envelops all the components which define the activity of the theatrical spectacle: the professionals involved in the production, from the sponsors, to the musicians and dancers, the actors and their performance, from its preparation to its presentation, the costumes, the props and the sets, the intention of the performance, the impact on and the reaction of the audience. Plutarch has two means of approaching the theatrical world. He draws on the reality of theatrical productions, showing an awareness of the technical demands involved in the creation of spectacle and drama. He also draws upon the tradition of theory and definitions of the theatre which had been laid down by philosophers and playwrights. But whether his understanding stems from a familiarity with theatrical productions or a reading of theoretical discourse, Plutarch’s deployments are consistent: they become a tool to assess morally the statesman or political body he is observing. While Plutarch’s judgement tends to be severe, he recognises the impact and effectiveness of histrionic politics. This thesis concentrates on three political structures: kingship, oratory and the relationship between statesman and assembly. Plutarch’s moral assessment is consistent, and yet he draws on different aspects and different theories to represent not only these different structures but also individual approaches to the office of statesman. While absolute monarchs tend to resort to staging, some put the emphasis on spectacle and the experience of the observer and others concentrate on their own person by styling themselves as actors. If some orators draw on techniques used by actors, they do not equally resort to the same methods but according to their character and origin, choose different aspects of the acting profession. Although several assemblies take place in the theatre, their histrionic behaviour depends on the statesman who influences them. While other studies have notes the theatrical quality of Plutarch’s Lives, this thesis offers the first in-depth analysis of the intricacy and richness of Plutarch’s understanding of theatre as a political tool. Other works have tended to put characterisation at the centre of Plutarch’s use of theatre. I propose, however, to focus on political action, revealing Plutarch’s attitude not only towards the spectacular, but also, and crucially, towards some of the most important political structures of antiquity.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the sociopolitical dynamics of anger in Roman public life during the late Republic and early Principate, specifically within the professional contexts of the orator and the emperor. I am interested in Roman thought on the pragmatic functions of anger during this time period. Evidence for how anger was employed by orators and emperors is drawn from a broad range of Roman prose sources. My analysis is both philological and historical in nature. I examine how the Latin lexicon of anger is deployed by authors and consider how diction functions in the representation of political anger. My analysis acquires a chronological shape as I trace the ways in which Roman discourse about the roles of anger in public life changes during the transition from Republic to Principate. Chapter 1 provides methodological background and contextualizes this project within the subfield of ancient emotion studies. Concepts taken from emotions history are defined and adapted for usage in Roman contexts. Chapter 2 discusses the Latin lexicon of anger and its relationship with ancient philosophical understandings of anger. Chapter 3 is the first of two chapters on anger in Ciceronian oratory. It features discussions of In Verrem 1, In Catilinam 1-2, Pro Murena, and Pro Milone. These case studies reveal how Cicero approached anger as an advocate and a consul. Chapter 4 examines Cicero’s treatment of anger late in his career in the Caesarianae and the Philippics. Chapter 5 presents sources on the anger of Augustus and explores how the first emperor developed an imperial emotional persona. I demonstrate that a balance between expressions of anger and displays of mercy was important to this persona. Chapter 6 considers how the remaining Julio-Claudian emperors employed anger in their regimes, with an eye toward their adaptation and/or perversion of the standard set by Augustus. This dissertation expands our understanding of Roman thought on anger, which has traditionally been accessed through the lens of philosophical writings on emotion. It demonstrates that anger is represented in many sources as an essential tool of both public speaking and imperial leadership at Rome.Arts, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a study of the fourth century B.C. Athenian politician Apollodoros the son of Pasion of Acharnae, and of the speeches which he delivered and which are preserved in the Corpus Demosthenicum. Chapter 1 contains a chronological survey of the lives of Pasion and Apollodoros. In Chapter 2, which contains an examination of the financial circumstances of the family, I am concerned not merely to tackle the vexed question of the size of Pasion's estate, but also to analyse the sources of that wealth, and the uses to which it was put. In Chapter 3 I examine the question of the authorship of the speeches which Apollodoros delivered, including the performance of some simple stylistic tests, which reveal a clear difference of style between these speeches and the genuine private speeches of Demosthenes. In Chapter 4 I discuss the form and function of the speeches, examining how far they diverge from the practice of other Athenian orators, and how far they are influenced by rhetorical theory. I also seek to question the generally held view that they are incompetently composed, and suggest that any diverges from Demosthenic practice or from rhetorical theory should not necessarily be considered indicative of a lack of ability on the part of their author. In Chapter 5 I try to assess whether Apollodoros received a rhetorical education, and I examine the likely sources of his legal and historical knowledge. In Chapter 6 I examine in detail one particular aspect of the speeches: the inclusion of a long and detailed historical narrative in Against Neaera. I attempt to determine the sources of this account, and then to look for any signs elsewhere in the speeches of an historical interest on Apollodoros' part. Chapter 7 deals with Apollodoros' political career, whilst in Chapter 8 I examine the position of the family within Athenian society. I attempt to determine the social circles in which Pasion and Apollodoros moved, the extent to which they were accepted into Athenian high society, and the ways in which they tried to use their money to acquire social acceptance. The two appendices contain a discussion of the authenticity of documents preserved in the manuscripts of the speeches, and the data from two stylistic tests which I performed.

Full textAbstract:
L’« anticomanie », tout particulièrement romaine, des orateurs d’assemblée de la période révolutionnaire constitue un lieu commun qui se construit dès le lendemain de Thermidor et perdure jusqu’à nos jours, contribuant à faire de l’éloquence révolutionnaire un objet rebutant, tant sur le plan esthétique – elle resterait attachée aux formes d’une rhétorique classique jugée dépassée – que sur le plan politique et moral – elle aurait contribué à légitimer la violence. Cette étude propose de réexaminer la romanité de ces orateurs et les analyses qui ont pu en être faites par le passé, en s’intéressant notamment à la régénération de la figure de l’orateur politique. Le corpus sur lequel s’appuie cette thèse, constitué de 329 discours prononcés par 168 orateurs au cours de la période allant de la création de l’Assemblée constituante (1789) à la suppression du Tribunat par Napoléon Bonaparte (1807), permet de montrer que, grâce à la position de vir bonus dicendi peritus qu’il assume dans la cité, suivant le modèle défini par Cicéron, l'orateur politique est un creuset capable de recevoir un imaginaire collectif, de le transformer, puis de le transmettre et de le diffuser. À ce titre, il est un élément-clé dans la circulation des représentations culturelles qui fondent l'époque moderne, et participe à la construction d'une communauté nationale imaginée. Ainsi la romanité révolutionnaire, loin d’être un simple ornement rhétorique, et considérée à la fois comme une langue, un ethos et un ensemble de motifs textuels, devient le matériau d'un récit des origines de la nation moderne, de tonalité épique, qui sera réinvesti par les historiens et écrivains durant tout le XIXe siècleThe cult of Antiquity, especially about Ancient Rome, among the speakers of the assemblies during the French Revolution, is a commonplace which was built as early as Thermidor and which is enduring as far as today. This fact contributes to the idea that the revolutionary eloquence is off-putting, from the aesthetic point of view – because it would remain committed to the patterns of a classical rhetoric deemed to be out-dated – as well as from the political and moral points of view – because it would have contributed to legitimate the violence. This study proposes a revaluation of these speakers’ romanity and of the analyses which were done about it in the past, with particular attention paid to the regeneration of the figure of the political speaker. The working corpus is composed of 329 speeches made by 168 speakers during the period from the beginning of the constituent assembly (1789) to the removal of the Tribunate by Napoleon Bonaparte (1807). This corpus enables to show that, thanks to the position of vir bonus dicendi peritus that he must assume in the city, according to the model drawn up by Cicero, the political speaker is a king of melting-pot which is able to receive a collective imagination, to transform it, then to convey and disseminate it. For this reason, he is a key element of the circulation of cultural representations establishing the modern age, and it takes part in the building of a national imagined community. Therefore, the revolutionary romanity, far from being a simple rhetoric ornament, and if it is regarded as a simultaneous language, ethos and set of textual patterns, becomes the material of a story of the modern nation’s origins, told and written in an epical register, which will be reinvested by the historians and writers during all the XIXth century

Full textAbstract:
Book Summary:Diplomacy has never been a politically neutral field of historical research, even when it was confined to merely reconstructing the context of wars and revolutions. Since the nineteenth century, Renaissance Italy has been at the forefront of scholarship on diplomacy; today, with increasing awareness of the long history of the subject as well as a broader spectrum of case studies, the study of Italian diplomacy has become sophisticated and highly articulated, offering scholars many new directions for further exploration. During the period c. 1350–c. 1520 covered by the present volume, diplomatic sources became extremely rich and abundant. This sourcebook presents a selection of primary materials, both published and unpublished, which are mostly unavailable to English readers: a broad range of diplomatic sources, thematically organized, are introduced, translated, and annotated by an international team of leading scholars of the Italian Renaissance. The aim of this volume is to illustrate the richness of diplomatic documents both for the study of diplomacy itself as well as for other areas of historical investigation, such as gender and sexuality, crime and justice, art and leisure, and medicine.

In comparing oratorio traits across history, three aspects of oratorio were found to be particularly applicable to the creation of "Deborah: A Chamber Oratorio in One Act." These aspects were: the selection of topic and the creation or adaptation of text; the differences between recitative and aria, in form and function; and the level of stylistic diversity within a given work.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between Handel's borrowing practice and his creation of a new genre---the English Biblical oratorio. It focuses on the types of borrowing, the genres Handel borrowed from, and the use of self-borrowing vs. borrowing from other composers. A comprehensive list of borrowings discovered in Handel's Biblical oratorios (Appendix A) allows the patterns in Handel's borrowing practice and the evolution of the genre to be revealed and discussed.Chapter One provides a review of the literature on Handel's borrowing in general and the historical roots of Handel's Biblical oratorios. Chapter Two looks at the scholarly treatment of Handel's borrowing, and goes on to discuss specific musical examples of three borrowing types: Type I (reuse), Type II (rework), and Type III (new work). The final chapter identifies borrowing patterns that emerge in Handel's early, middle, and late Biblical oratorios. The borrowing type shifts from Type I to Type III, whereas the genres borrowed from change from sacred choral works to secular operas. Self-borrowings dominate in his early oratorios, drastically decrease in the middle period, and increase again in the late period.

Resumo: Nosso trabalho consiste em fazer um aparato crítico e introdutório, bem como uma tradução para o português de parte do Orator, de Cícero, obra que trata da formação do orador e da questão do ritmo no discurso oratório. O tema central do Orator é a busca da definição do melhor estilo oratório (genus orationis optimorum) que caracteriza o orador perfeito. Um elemento importante para compor esse estilo é a correta e eficiente utilização da chamada ¿prosa rítmica¿, que Cícero sistematizou no seu livro. Assim, a tradução da parte concernente a esse assunto começa mais especificamente no parágrafo 140 e vai até o final (parágrafo 238). Não obstante, será preciso, antes de tudo, uma busca cuidadosa dos precursores da prosa rítmica, no contexto da retórica clássica greco-romana, já que, a despeito do trabalho inovador de Cícero em teorizar aprofundadamente esse assunto, não foi ele quem criou o discurso ritmado. As origens desse tipo de discurso encontram expoentes entre os primeiros sofistas gregos (Trasímaco da Calcedônia, Gorgias e Isócrates principalmente), aos quais o orador romano faz referência na sua obra. Dessa forma, num primeiro momento, procuraremos expor as bases e as primeiras manifestações da prosa artística anteriores ao texto de Cícero, assim como apresentar panoramicamente os principais elementos de sua obra, para então, no segundo capítulo, fazer algumas reflexões preliminares acerca de algumas questões que perpassam o tratado: o problema do ritmo e a estrutura do período oratório
Abstract: This study consists of producing an introductory critical apparatus, as well as a translation into Portuguese, from part of the Orator, Cicero¿s work, which deals with the orator formation and the rhythm issue on oratory speech. The main theme of the Orator is the search for the definition of the best oratory style (genus orationis optimorum) that characterizes the perfect orator. An important element to compose this style is the correct and efficient usage of the so-called ¿prose rhythm¿, which has been systematized by Cicero in his book. The translation of the part concerning to this subject starts exactly at paragraph 140 and goes on until the end of the book, paragraph 238. However, before doing so, it will be necessary to do a detailed research on the rhythmic prose precursors, inserted in the context of classical Greek-Roman rhetoric, due to the fact that it was not exactly him who created rhymed speech, even considering his innovative work on this subject. The origins of this type of speech find its early exponents in the first Greek sophists (mainly Thrasymachus Calchedonius, Gorgias and Isocrates), authors to whom the Roman orator makes reference in his work. Thus, initially, we will expose the basis and the first manifestations of artistic prose which are previous to Cicero¿s text, in order to, in the second chapter, present some preliminary reflections about the issues that are implicitly dealt with in part of the Orator: the rhythm an the structure of oratory period

Full textAbstract:
Apresenta-se tradução do Orator de Cícero precedida de estudo. Propõe-se que, quando confrontado com a maledicência dos que se dizem áticos, Cícero remete a controvérsia particular à questão acerca do gênero universal, ou thésis, tratando do gênero para responder às partes e tratando da coisa para responder aos homens. Por tratar-se de coisas, recorre-se em geral à doutrina das coisas, isto é, à filosofia, e em particular a duas de suas artes, a tópica e a dialética. Analisa-se portanto o método dialético e tópico empregado pelo autor para resolver a questão acerca do melhor gênero do discursar. Argumenta-se que Cícero compara as espécies do discurso entre si e define a forma do orador perfeito para exprimir a sua imagem, imagem que servirá de critério para julgar, conforme a maior ou menor semelhança em relação a ela, os oradores que vemos e ouvimos.I present the reader with a translation into Portuguese of Ciceros Orator with introduction. I propose that, when confronted with the invectives of the so-called Attics, Cicero sends back this controversy to the question about the universal kind, or thésis, speaking about the genus in order to give a response to the parts, and speaking about things to give a response to men. Because Cicero speaks about things, he employs the doctrine of things, i.e. Philosophy, making use of two of its arts, Topics and Dialectics. I analyse therefore the topical and dialectical method the author applies to solve the question about the best kind of speech. I argue that Cicero applies this method to compare the species of speech and to define the form of the perfect orator so that he may express its image, a image that will be used as a criterion to judge, in proportion to their likeness to it, the orators we can see and hear.

Full textAbstract:
This is a study of 'beer drinks' among Xhosa people living in the Shixini administrative area of Willowvale district, Transkei. Beer drinks are defined as a 'polythetic' class of events distinguishable from other kinds of ceremonies and rituals at which beer may be consumed, and an attempt is made to outline their major characteristics. A detailed description of the way in which beer drinks are conducted is provided in Chapter 3, with emphasis on the symbolism involved in the allocation of beer, space and time, and on the speech events (including formal oratory) that occur. The main theoretical argument is that beer drinks may be regarded as 'cultural performances' in which social reality or 'practice' is dramatised and reflected upon, enabling people to infuse their experience with meaning and to establish guidelines for future action. This is achieved by relating social practice to cultural norms and values, in a dynamic rather than a static manner. It is demonstrated that the symbolism involved in beer drinking is highly sensitive to the real world and adjusts accordingly, which means that 'culture' is continually being reinterpreted. Despite poverty, a degree of landlessness and heavy reliance on migrant labour, Shixini people maintain an ideal of rural selfsufficiency and are able to partly fulfill this ideal, thereby maintaining a degree of independence and resistance to full incorporation into the wider political economy of southern Africa. They achieve this largely by maintaining a strong sense of community and of household interdependence, linked to a sense of Xhosa tradition. It is this aspect of social practice, manifested in a variety of forms - work parties, ploughing companies, rites of passage, and so on - that is dramatised, reflected upon and reinforced at beer drinks. In a definite sense then, beer drinks may be regarded as a response and a way of adapting to apartheid, and this study one of a community under threat.

Se o livro 11 da Institutio oratoria de Quintiliano tem sido considerado como um dos mais completos manuais de performance forense na Roma antiga, o livro 6, ao apresentar as instruções para uma peroração bem-feita, curiosamente aproxima a ação do orador à ação do ator de teatro na sofisticada arte de manipular as emoções do auditório. Esta dissertação tem por objetivo mostrar que a tradução completa do primeiro capítulo do sexto livro evidenciou similaridades entre bons atores e bons oradores quanto aos objetivos, às técnicas, e à própria atuação, além de um vasto vocabulário comum entre as duas artes. Pretende-se, de igual modo, trazer à discussão, através da tradução do undécimo capítulo do primeiro livro, o projeto educacional de Quintiliano para formar aquele que seria o uir bonus dicendi peritus fornecendo aos alunos não apenas conhecimentos técnicos e teóricos da oratória, mas, sobretudo, aspectos morais e práticos da atuação forense que construirão o êthos do orador. Preocupado com a atuação dos oradores de seu tempo e, particularmente, com certo excesso de dramaticidade que constatava nos discursos públicos, Quintiliano inaugura uma formação diferenciada ao oferecer um professor para cada uma das etapas que constituem o percurso escolar do futuro orador. Concomitantemente à formação na escola do grammaticus, em que os oradores aprendem, através da leitura dos textos literários, preceitos técnicos da arte retórica, Quintiliano propõe como parte de sua educação oratória a observação do ator dramático, etapa de aprendizado, até onde se sabe, instituída e discutida apenas na Institutio, uma dimensão prática daquelas instruções ensinadas pelo grammaticus, as quais também serão úteis última etapa da formação: a escola do rhétor, onde aprenderão os preceitos da retórica através de tarefas que os auxiliarão a desenvolver sua eloquência. Almeja-se, também, demarcar as fronteiras da atuação forense amparada muitas vezes por princípios da atuação cênica, investigando as referências teatrais presentes nos capítulos traduzidos da Instituio oratoria, tendo em vista as múltiplas similaridades entre as duas artes, as quais nos permitem estabelecer relações entre o palco e o fórum, bem como entre orador e ator quando o que está em jogo, durante a narração de um caso, é a persuasão da plateia.
If the 11th book of Quintilians Institutio oratoria has been considered one of the most complete manuals of forensic performance in Ancient Rome, the sixth book, by presenting the instructions for a well-made peroration performance, curiously approximates the orators action to the theatrical actors action in the sophisticated art of manipulating emotions of the audience. This dissertation aims to show that the complete translation of the first chapter of the sixth book has pointed out similarities between good actors and good orators regarding their objectives, techniques and performance itself, as well as a vast common vocabulary between the two arts. It is also intended to bring to discussion, by means of first books eleventh chapter translation, Quintilians educational project to rear the man that would become a uir bonus dicendi peritus, providing the students not only with technical and theoretical knowledge of oratory, but, especially, moral and practical aspects of the forensic practice that will build the orators Œthos. Concerned about performance of the orators of his time and, particularly, about a certain excess of drama that he observed in public speeches, Quintilian pioneers a distinct schooling formation by offering a teacher for each of the stages that would constitute the educational background of the future orator. Concomitantly with the formation of the grammaticus in which the orators learn, by reading literary texts, technical precepts of the rhetorical art Quintilian proposes as part of his oratory education the observation of dramatic actor, the stage of learning, as far as it is known, instituted and discussed only in the Institutio, a practical dimension for those instructions that were taught by the grammaticus. In the rhetors school, they would learn the precepts of rhetoric from tasks that would help them to develop their eloquence. It is also desired to demarcate the limits of forensic practice, which is often supported by principles of scenic performance, by investigating the theatrical references that are present in the translated chapters from the Institutio oratoria, in view of the multiple similarities between the two arts, which allow us to establish relations between the stage and the forum, as well as between the orator and the actor when what is being considered, during the narration of a case, is the persuasion of the audience.

Bremner, Sarah Janet Alexandrina. "Athenian ideology in Demosthenes' deliberative oratory : hailing the dēmos." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2017. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/7439/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines Demosthenes’ rhetorical use of Athenian ideology in his deliberative speeches from 351-341 BCE. I argue that during this period of crisis, which is usually narrated in terms of conflict with Macedonia, Demosthenes confronts an internal crisis within the Assembly. While Demosthenes’ deliberative speeches have traditionally been defined as ‘Philippic’, this thesis argues that the speeches do not prioritise an ‘Anti- Macedonian’ agenda, but rather focus on confronting the corruption of the deliberative decision-making process. Due to an attitude of apathy and neglect, Demosthenes’ rhetoric suggests that their external problems are a direct product of this internal crisis, both of which are perpetuated by their failure to recognise how self-sabotaging practices undermine the polis from within. As he asserts in On the Chersonese and the Third Philippic, they cannot hope to deal with their external situation before they deal with their internal crisis. To address this, I argue that Demosthenes’ parrhēsia interweaves criticism of the dēmos with the praise of Athens, using social memory and past exempla both to recall and prescribe didactically the attitudes central to Athenian identity. As such, I propose that the deliberative speeches do not confront a ‘Macedonian Question’, but a fundamentally Athenian one.

Full textAbstract:
Les rapports entre les hommes et les femmes dans le contexte malgache sont souvent définis en termes de complémentarité des sexes qui se démarquent par la prétendue absence de l’inégalité des sexes, ce qui remet en question l’oppression des femmes. Cependant, la diversité des représentations des rapports sociaux de sexe dans les différentes régions de Madagascar ne reflète pas toujours ce point de vue généralisé, d’où l’intérêt d’effectuer une étude contextuelle de la représentation des hommes et des femmes ainsi que les relations de pouvoir qui constituent leurs interactions. Nous nous proposons d’analyser le contexte des contes publiés au 19è siècle jusqu’à nos jours ainsi que les contes contemporains contés par des conteurs/conteuses malgaches afin d’appréhender l’évolution des perceptions des différences entre les sexes dans les contes malgaches produits durant cette période. Notre analyse se focalise également sur l’évolution de la participation des femmes malgaches au discours oratoire lors d’événements importants qui définissent la culture malgache, tels que la demande en mariage et les funérailles. Notre étude porte principalement sur la façon dont les différences entre les sexes se traduisent en inégalité des sexes et en relations asymétriques dans le contexte malgache. En tenant compte du contexte actuel qui prône l’égalité des sexes dans tous les domaines, particulièrement celui du développement, nous essayons de déterminer les implications des discours sur l’égalité des sexes sur la perception des différences entre les hommes et les femmes et les rapports sociaux de sexe dans les contes et le discours oratoire malgaches. Nous étudions particulièrement la façon dont les différences entre les hommes et les femmes et les structures des rapports sociaux de sexe constituent un obstacle ou un tremplin à l’empowerment des femmes qui représente une étape majeure pour mettre en œuvre les principes sur l’égalité des sexesGender relations in the Malagasy context are often conceptualised in terms of complementarity with a relative denial of the existence of overt male dominance and female oppression and a marked insistence on female superiority. Nevertheless, the diversity of the representations of gender relations in the different regions of Madagascar does not always reflect this generalised pattern, which points to the necessity of a contextual analysis of the representation of men and women and the power relations that structure their interactions. The present study focuses on the notions of masculinity and femininity as well as the power relations between men and women in a selection of Malagasy folktales that were written and published from the 19th century to the present and the contemporary performance of oratory discourses by orators from Antananarivo and Paris. Drawing on surveys and interviews with a selection of storytellers and orators, as well as the observation of storytelling and oratory performances, the study highlights the ways in which gender differences are translated into gender inequality, which tend to limit the possibilities for female empowerment. The main arguments that are presented in the research stress the prevalence of male dominance and female subordination as can be observed in the variety of the male and female characters’ experiences in the selected folktales and the current experiences of female orators in the field of oratory performance. Two possible itineraries for female empowerment are explored based on contemporary storytellers’ perceptions and representations of gender in their works and the audience’s responses to the latter

Le 'De oratore dominica' de Grégoire de Nysse est un ensemble de cinq homélies consacrées au commentaire des versets angéliques sur le 'Notre Père' (Matth. 6,9-13 ; Lc 11, 2-4). Il représente une synthèse de la pensée et de l'art de son auteur. Pleinement écho de son époque, il en reflète le mode de vie et les questions de société. Il s'insère aussi dans la tradition culturelle profane en reprenant librement les schémas de pensée en vigueur à son époque tout en prenant sa place dans la tradition des commentaires patristiques sur les mêmes versets. Sa théologie spirituelle l'amène à proposer une lecture exégétique de l'Ecriture qui allie le respect des textes et la recherche d'un sens allégorique. Il condense ici les thèmes privilégiés de sa pensée religieuse sur l'image de Dieu, l'économie du salut, le sens de la prière. Il se fonde à la fois sur la conscience de la transcendance de Dieu et une attitude de confiance acquise par une conduite morale épurée des passions excessives et trompeuses du monde matériel. Enfin la rigueur et le raffinement de son expression donnant une grande force à ces homélies qui montrent un pasteur soucieux de rectitude doctrinale et moraleThe 'De oratione dominica' of Gregory of Nyssa is a series of five homilies devoted to the commentary of the verses concerning the 'Our father'.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis discusses the result of a critical language study (CLS) of Tanzanian Presidential Kiswahili political oratory (TPKPO). The CLS was motivted by the belief that one of the principal contributions that linguists could make to the survival and development of their societies is to adopt what Shapiro (1990:12) paraphrasing Foucault (1977) has callled "a commitment to a form of inquiry aimed at the continuous disruption of the structures of "intelligibility" upon which some of the prevailing hegemonic political prejudices and biases are based. Faifclough's (1989) ideas regarding the need for and how to conduct CLS were dapted to suit the specific goal of the curren study which was to determine the inter and intra speker vriation within contemporary Tanzanian Kiswahili political discourse taking the oratory ex-president J. K. Nyerere and tha of Prersident A. H. Mwinyi as a case in point. The results of the study, which adopted a largely ethnographic research design, permit one to make two important observations about TPKPO.

African American StudiesPh.D.
This dissertation examines President Barack Obama as a symbol and his rhetoric through an Afrocentric analytical lens. The problem that prompted my research was the current process (and future probability) of President Barack Obama's image and legacy being drastically revised from the current perceptions held by most who observe him daily. In this study, the researcher utilized an empirical, symbolic, and rhetorical approach to conduct an Afrocentric data analysis. This process included a review of the foundational terms and concepts utilized to express the Afrocentric idea (including Afrocentricity, location, and agency), and ultimately led to new concepts, analytical tools, and theories based on the evidence manifested over the course this study. This text represents an attempt to seize the magnitude of the "Democratic day" that Barack Obama was elected in a way that it could strengthen understanding of the Afrocentric idea. Based upon the analytical foundation of Afrocentricity I presented a methodology described as Beneficial Extraction method that will highlight the information, examples, strategies and attributes that can be utilized, salvaged and implemented for the uplift of African people. My findings include, the need for an increase in the appreciation for incremental progress in the African/African American community and the need to refine the ability to recognize and benefit from multiple and diverse methods of struggle throughout the African Diaspora.

Full textAbstract:
Le Mans a possédé un des collèges de l’Oratoire les plus réputés de France après celui de Juilly. Les Oratoriens se sont installés au Mans en 1624 sous l’autorité épiscopale de Mgr Charles Beaumanoir de Lavardin (1610-1637), qui appliquait un des aspects essentiels de la Réforme tridentine : éduquer les jeunes ! Cette thèse vise à appréhender les nombreuses difficultés rencontrées par les supérieurs, les préfets et les régents jusqu’en 1792. Les problématiques ont ainsi porté sur l’originalité de leurs enseignements, sur leurs relations avec le jansénisme, sur leurs pratiques spirituelles christocentriques et les difficultés financières qui provoquèrent dans certains esprits la volonté de municipaliser l’établissement. Le collège a été un relais de Port-Royal dans la cité avec le « Grand Arnauld » qui y professa plusieurs années. La longue période précédant la Révolution fut marquée par deux affaires théologiques qui vinrent troubler l’image de l’institution mancelle, en proie à des relations conflictuelles avec l’évêque du Mans, Mgr de Grimaldi. La Constitution civile du clergé, en 1790, marqua une rupture définitive entre les professeurs « Sacerdotem » et les enseignants-laïcsLe Mans owned one of the most Oratorian schools in France after the one of Juilly. The Oratorians settled in Le Mans in 1624 under the episcopal authority of Mgr Charles Beaumanoir de Lavardin, wich implemented one of the most essentials aspects of the Tridentine Reform : raise youths ! This thesis aims at grasping the numerous difficulties met by seniors, prefects and regents until 1792. The issues bore upon the novelty of their teachings, upon their relationship with Jansenism, upon their spiritual Christ-centered practices and the financial hardships hich triggered in some people’s minds the willingness to make the institution part of the city. The school was a relay of Port-Royal with the « Grand Arnauld » who instructed few years. The long period before the Revolution was affected by two theological affairs with came to blur the image of the Le Mans Institution. The civil Constitution of the clergy, in 1790, marked a definitive breaking off between the « Sacedotem » teachers and the non-religious teachers

Full textAbstract:
Audio is an effective but often overlooked component of World Wide Web delivery. Of the nearly twenty billion web pages estimated to exist, statistically few use sound. Those few using sound often use it poorly and with hardly any regard to theoretical and rhetorical issues. This thesis is an examination of the uses of audio on the World Wide Web, specifically focusing on how that use could be informed by current and historical rhetorical theory. A theoretical methodology is applied to suggest the concepts and disciplines required to make online audio more meaningful and useful. The thesis argues for the connection between the Web and the modern orator, its embodiment, its place in sound reproduction technology, and awareness of the limitations placed on it by design and convention.

Tableau d’honneur de la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales, 2012-2013.En tant que recueil de biographies impériales et une des rares sources latines sur la période de la crise du IIIe siècle, l'Histoire Auguste a depuis toujours motivé surtout les études à caractère historique. En revanche, et malgré le souci d'écriture évident du rédacteur -perceptible dans son goût pour l'ironie et autres figures de style - l'aspect littéraire de l'ouvrage a jusqu'ici été beaucoup négligé. Afin de rétablir la situation, nous avons décidé de nous consacrer à une étude non seulement littéraire, mais rhétorique de l'Histoire Auguste, dans laquelle on discerne aisément l'intérêt du rédacteur pour l'éloquence des empereurs. Dans cette optique, ce mémoire a comme objectif de tracer le portrait de la rhétorique à la fois par rapport à la structure de l'oeuvre, à son lien avec les autres disciplines des belles-lettres et des sciences libérales, et surtout, par rapport à l'empereur et à sa performance oratoire. Ce travail pourra également s'inscrire dans la recherche récente sur la rhétorique latine de l'Antiquité tardive, une période charnière qui fut longtemps négligée par les littéraires.

Churches, Richard M. "The followership effect : charismatic oratory, hypnoidal and altered states of consciousness." Thesis, University of Surrey, 2016. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/810172/.
Full textAbstract:
Charismatic leadership and hypnosis are frequently associated in the literature. This thesis contributes to charismatic theory by illustrating there may be more to this association than mere speculation. The research used Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory (PCI), and adapted PCI-Hypnotic Assessment Protocol items, to explore the within-subject effects of world-class oratory compared to a baseline condition (eyes open sitting quietly) and pseudo attention placebo (archive film from the same date and context). Drawing on the PCI’s ability to generate predicted Harvard Group Scores (pHGSs) (a general measure of trance depth (or ‘hypnoidal state’)), charismatic oratory deepens trance but not to the same degree as found in prior Harvard induction research. Despite this, 8.26% of people attain trance depths commensurate with a high hypnoidal state (pHGS > 7.0). There are also similar relationships between self-reported depth, imagoic suggestibility and hypnoidal state to those found in prior hypnosis studies. Oratory, in addition, generates an altered state of consciousness. However, while it yields a similar PCI major dimension intensity profile to hypnotic induction, it appears to produce different pattern effects (notably the association of amplified levels of negative and positive affect and bonding relationships to altered state, altered experience and visual imagery). Additional analyses, applying methods previously used to define hypnotic type, identify five follower types with (for those obtaining high and low depth of trance during the speech) characteristics similar to high and low hypnotic susceptibility individuals during hypnosis. Paralleling recent theorising about the nature of hypnosis, charismatic effects could also be seen as a sub-domain of the wider domain of suggestion, but one placing greater emotional demands on consciousness. In the right circumstances, world-class oratory (or similar charismatic media) could fulfil a comparable function to the suggestibility test during stage hypnosis (i.e. as a selection mechanism for identifying those most susceptible to influence).

Conte, Sophie. "Action oratoire et écriture du corps de Quintilien à Louis de Cressoles." Paris 4, 2000. http://www.theses.fr/1999PA040292.
Full textAbstract:
L'action oratoire, cinquième partie de la rhétorique, a une histoire incertaine depuis ses débuts dans l'antiquité. Quintilien a consacré à ce sujet un chapitre important de l'institution oratoire, dont nous étudions les procédés d'écriture en les confrontant à d'autres discours antiques sur le corps. La part accordée au corps et à l'action oratoire est en effet liée à la conception que l'auteur se fait de l'orateur, du traité, et de l'art oratoire. A la renaissance, qui voit éclore parallèlement d'autres discours sur le corps, la rhétorique offre un traitement varie de l'action oratoire, dans des démarches qui sont autant de lectures du chapitre fondateur de Quintilien, conduisant à le résumer, le recopier, ou parfois l'augmenter. L'étude de ces traités dans leur diversité révèle que l'action oratoire pose surtout des problèmes d'écriture du corps et de son inscription dans le cadre écrit d'une rhétorique qui ne cesse de redéfinir ses propres limites. En 1620, le jésuite Louis de Cressolles consacre à l'action oratoire un volumineux traité, les vacationes autumnales, un livre entier étant réservé au geste de l'orateur. Son écriture, à l'opposé de beaucoup de ses prédécesseurs en la matière, se réclame de la copia, et multiplie les citations empruntées à l'antiquité dans toute sa diversité, pour mieux recomposer le comportement de l'orateur contemporain. Il apparait dès lors que la fortune inégale que connait l'action oratoire, tant dans l'antiquité classique, qu'à la Renaissance n'est pas seulement liée aux circonstances historiques, mais au problème d'écriture et d'inscription au sein de la rhétorique.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to contribute to the study of the role of the civic past in the public discourse of fourth-century Athens. It does so by close examination of the surviving public speeches of Demosthenes and Aeschines, arguing that presentation of the city’s history in front of mass audiences held singular persuasive potential for public speakers, allowing them to furnish with a more meaningful ethical context both the discussion of issues addressed in the Assembly and the arguments advanced in public trials. Deploying the past convincingly in such settings redounded to speakers’ personal credibility and authority, and Demosthenes and Aeschines – who offer rare examples of paired opposing speeches from the same trials – are selected as ‘case-study’ orators in order to illustrate: i) the importance of the invoking of Athenian historical models, both distant and recent, to Demosthenes’ self-fashioning as a politician; and ii) the extent to which orators made the very question of how to cite the past in public a stake in their wider struggle for political pre-eminence, seeking to be recognized as the ‘true’ and authoritative mediator of this material. These interests are reflected in the organization of the thesis. After an Introduction which discusses key preliminaries, Chapter One argues for Demosthenes’ early recognition of the potential of historical illustration for wider self-presentation, honed over the course of his Assembly career (Chapter Two) to become essential to his self-casting as Athens’s leading statesman. Chapter Three compares Demosthenic and Aeschinean approaches to citing the past in court, in two prosecutions from the mid-340s, and Chapters Four and Five – focusing on the high-profile Embassy and Crown trials – move to argue the importance of each politician’s contestation of the other’s versions of history to their battle over the reputations arising from their careers to date. The Conclusion summarizes, and reflects on some methodological aspects with a view to further work.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates speaker-audience interaction in political oratory. The aims of this study are (1) to investigate the contextual and cultural differences in speaker-audience interaction in political oratory, (2) to contribute methodological innovations in the analysis of political discourse, and (3) to emphasise the practical implications of the study for real life. By combining qualitative and quantitative methods, speaker’s verbal and nonverbal behaviour and audience’s behaviour (forms of response and collective behaviour) are analysed in three speech contexts of Korean presidential election 2012: acceptance speeches to the nomination as political parties’ candidates for presidential election, presidential election campaign speeches, and presidential inauguration speeches. It is presented that: (1) there are close relationships between orator-audience interaction and speech contexts beyond the cultural dimensions; (2) invitation to respond is shaped by multiple layers of resources (verbal devices and nonverbal factors); (3) grammatical order is an important factor in the cultural differences in terms of the projectability of turn completion in orator-audience interaction; (4) the production of orator-audience interaction occurs by mutual respect of each other’s turn and mutual collaboration to achieve their shared goals; (5) audience behaviour has evolved through the political time periods. It is argued that political speech context (i.e., the purpose of oratory, speaker-audience status, political culture and system), language, and nonverbal factors are important variables in studying speaker-audience interaction. Based on the findings, practical implications in social and political behaviour are presented.
