Spencer, Jasmine Rachael. "Telling animals : a histology of Dene textualized orature." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/62154.
Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, I create an interpretive framework based on deictic constructions to analyze Dene/Athabaskan poetics in four print collections of dual-language textualized orature— Denesułine/Chipewyan (Alberta), Dena’ina/Tanaina (Alaska), Dene Dháh/South Slavey (Alberta), and Diné Bizaad/Navajo (Southwest). Using this framework, I focus on the epistemological power of animals via the critical metaphor of animal tissue (muscle, bone, blood, and breath)—thus “histology.” My Introduction describes my framework. Chapter two, “‘Grandson, / This is meat’: Wolf and Caribou on How to Live in This Is What They Say,” focuses on ɂɛtθén, the word for both “meat” and “caribou,” and the homophonic relationship between meat and caribou. Chapter three, “‘I will be popular with the Campfire People, so ha, ha, ha’: Porcupine and Lynx on How to Love in K’tl’egh’i Sukdu/A Dena’ina Legacy,” on k’etch eltani, the prophetic practice of true belief. Chapter four, “‘What will you do now?’: Wolverine and Wolf on How to Die in ‘The Man Who Sought a Song,’” told by Elisse Ahnassay, on the (a)historical function of wodih, “news,” an oral genre that shapes the future. Chapter five, “‘If it floats, we will all live forever’: Coyote and Badger on How to Live Again in Diné Bahane’: The Navajo Creation Story,” on the reincarnational exchange figured by niłch’i bii’ sizinii, the inner wind. My Conclusion, “Histologies,” considers how the above concepts correspond to: flesh (ɂɛtθén), mind (k’etch eltani), breath (niłch’i bii’ sizinii), and bone (wodih): an animal that is a dream, a dream that is an animal. One of the primary ideas in my dissertation is the concept of narrative revitalization, which I define as cognate to and coeval with community practices of language revitalization, by comparing our conditions for who we are, how much space we believe ourselves to share, and how much time we have to share it in.Arts, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
The title of this paper gives three variants of what historically is the same name:
Koti = the present-day indigenous name of Koti Island;
Ngoji = the older form of the same name;
Angoche = the official name of the town, adapted from the name of the AKoti people
EKoti is the language of Angoche, a town on the coast of Nampula Province, in Mozambique. EKoti is in most respects very similar to the neighbouring coastal varieties of Makhuwa, but it also has many lexical and morphological items that are derived from Swahili. My colleague F. U. Mucanheia, co-author of our forthcoming grammar of EKoti, has recorded a story about the origin of Koti Island and its people. In the present paper, I summarize the text of this oral tradition, and I compare it to the dynastic traditions from Angoche and to those found in the Kilwa chronicle, pointing out differences but also establishing links.

Full textAbstract:
Vave is generally defined as a corpus of agricultural songs as they are sung and performed by Bajuni farmers - an ethnic subgroup of the Swahili - on the eve of burning the bush, a stage of slash and burn cultivation. Although the song’s main theme is agriculture and each cultivation step in particular is given attention, an analysis of the aesthetics of Vave from the viewpoint of oral literature unearths the secret and sacred dimension of Vave performance. Death, bereavement, resurrection, and spirituality are, besides agricultural cultivation, the basic aspects of the Vave. Indeed the Vave performance may be more correctly recognised as an ancient religious
rite which has ancestral worship as a central issue. Although the worship of ancestors is irreconcilable with the Islamic belief system, Vave is still performed by the Muslim Bajuni farmers today. This essay attempts to outline in which way the ancestors are annually remembered, revived or actualised in the present by Bajuni farmers through the performance of an oral tradition.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail interroge les relations entre langue écrite et langue orale et les effets de la représentation de l’oralité et du dialecte dans l’écriture littéraire. Plus spécifiquement, il établit un cadre théorique d’analyse stylistique permettant de faire émerger la poétique du parler populaire dans l’œuvre de Barrytown de Roddy Doyle. Cette étude s’articule autour de trois chapitres. Les deux premiers sont à visée théorique, et ont pour objectif de mettre en place les outils stylistiques, linguistiques et littéraires à partir desquels l’étude du corpus est abordée. Ainsi, après un retour diachronique et synchronique sur les rapports qu’entretiennent les deux media de communication orale et écrite, nous établissons un cadre d’analyse stylistique de la représentation de l’oralité et du dialecte dans la littérature. Nous étudions ensuite cette problématique plus spécifiquement dans le contexte irlandais, puisque la littérature et la culture irlandaises sont marquées par un la tradition orale. Cela nous conduit à une description détaillée du dialecte anglais-irlandais sous l’angle de la grammaire, du lexique et de l’accent. Nous abordons enfin les effets de la représentation de l’oralité et de l’irlandité dans l’œuvre barrytownienne de Roddy Doyle et faisons émerger la poétique du parler populaire qui l’animeThis study focuses on the relations between spoken and written language and on the effects created by the representation of orality and dialect in literary writing. More specifically, it proposes a theoretical framework of stylistic analysis which allows for the study of the poetics of popular language in Roddy Doyle’s Barrytown novels. This study is divided into three chapters. The first two chapters aim to define the stylistic, linguistic and literary tools that are used in the third chapter in order to carry out the corpus analysis. This study starts with a diachronic and a synchronic overview of the relationship between the oral and written media of communication. A workable framework for the stylistic analysis of the representation of orality and dialect in literature is then established. The second chapter considers this issue in an Irish context. Indeed, a strong oral tradition has always been present in Ireland and its impact is still felt in literature and culture. The linguistic situation in Ireland is studied from the point of view of grammar, lexicon and accent. Finally, the third chapter applies the framework previously presented and explores the effects created by the representation of orality and Irishness in Roddy Doyle’s Barrytown novels. It finally exposes the poetics of popular language

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse propose une étude trans-autochtones des oratures ancestrales et des littératures contemporaines des Dakotapi d’Amérique du Nord, peuple connu et popularisé par les sociétés dominantes, et des Paiwan de Taïwan, qui font partie des populations autochtones méconnues, et dont la littérature demeure en marge des études scientifiques actuelles. Cela permettra de construire des modes d’analyse et d’établir une forme de dialogue littéraire entre eux, afin de faire ressortir les similarités et les différences de ces productions orales et écrites considérées dans leur propre situation continentale. Les processus différenciés d’acculturation ciblant les Dakotapi et les Paiwan, avec la puissance coloniale américaine d’un côté, et celles japonaise et chinoise de l’autre, ont tous eu un impact violent sur la culture et sur l’identité de ces peuples autochtones. Toutefois, comme les héros et héroïnes de leurs oratures respectives, les jeunes adultes autochtones ayant assimilé l’écriture au sortir des écoles gouvernementales américaines et taïwanaises, ont détourné la technique graphique et le pouvoir symbolique du colonisateur pour écrire leur(s) propre(s) histoire(s). Cette recherche met également en avant la place cruciale que les littératures des peuples autochtones commencent à occuper sur la scène littéraire mondiale, au moyen de genres et de thèmes auto-centrés, et de critiques et de théories auto-référentielles. Ce sont des littératures de la résilience qui puisent leurs références, leurs thèmes, et leurs paradigmes dans leurs propres cultures autochtones, qu’elles se sont réappropriées en entreprenant une reconquête de leur identité et de leur souveraineté tribalesThis dissertation provides a trans-indigenous study of North America’s Dakotapi and Taiwan’s Paiwan’s ancestral oratures and contemporary literatures. The Dakotapi are a well-known People popularized by dominant societies, whereas the Paiwan are amongst the most unknown indigenous populations, and their literature remains in the margins of current scholarly studies. It will allow the creation of methods of analysis and the establishment of some form of literary dialogue between them, in order to highlight the similarities and the differences of the oral and written production considered within their own continental situation. The differentiated acculturation processes targeting the Dakotapi and the Paiwan, of the American colonial power on one hand, and on the other hand of the Japanese and Chinese colonial powers, all had a violent impact on the culture and identity of these Indigenous Peoples. However, just as the heroes and heroines from their respective oratures, the young literate indigenous adults, who graduated from American and Taiwanese governmental schools, diverted the graphic skills and the symbolic power of the colonizer to write down their own (hi)stories. This research also stresses the crucial place that Indigenous literatures occupy on the global literary scene, by means of Indigenous-centered genres and themes, and self-referential critique and theories. These are literatures of resilience that draw their references, themes, and paradigms in their own Indigenous cultures, that were reclaimed by engaging in a reconquest of their tribal identity and sovereignty

Ashworth, Robin Rison. ""New Media, Oral Histories and the Expansion and Modification of West African Griot Culture: A Case Study of Alhaji Papa Susso"." VCU Scholars Compass, 2012. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/434.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation takes the approach of a qualitative case study whose primary subject is Alhaji Papa Susso, a distinct and compelling representative of griot culture, who was born in The Gambia, but who now resides in the U.S., yet maintains his griot identity. The findings from this research provide evidence that the griot, in his quest to support himself abroad while honoring the traditions of his heritage, is actively participating in the purposeful dissemination of griot culture in the U.S. and beyond. Though he may be cultivating genuine interest in his skills and in the oral canon of histories and epic tales that he maintains, he cannot control reception and appropriation of his culture. Further, the findings suggest there is a crosscutting backlash where the influence of technology is concerned, in that, while it provides a means for recording and preserving the griot’s performative art, it also distracts West African youth and diminishes their interest in acquiring and maintaining the tools and instrumentation of their caste-born heritage. The main conclusions drawn from this study suggest the griot feels compelled in many ways to spread his culture beyond the limits of his original, regional seat in order to preserve and promote it, but in doing so, he is changing his culture, and exposing it to audiences who are not sufficiently encultured to apprehend fully its depth and meaning. Furthermore, technology may be a useful tool in preserving the griot’s art in West Africa and abroad, but the static nature of recording robs the griot’s performance of its dynamic, flexible and culturally reflective power. Ultimately, it is the goal of this dissertation to actualize Stake’s (1995) assertion that “the function of research is not necessarily to map and conquer the world but to sophisticate the beholding of it” (p. 43); it is the goal of this dissertation to illuminate and understand, to bear careful witness to a facet of cultural expansion, to a contemporary phenomenon, to a particular, unique and valuable human experience.

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.

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:
Honoré-Gabriel de Riquetti, comte de Mirabeau, gentilhomme de Provence, est entré dans l'histoire en tant qu'éminent orateur et protagoniste capital des débuts de la Révolution française. Il est donc logique que son activité et sa pensée politiques aient surtout intéressé les historiens, tandis que l'homme privé, dès le lendemain de sa mort, retenait l'attention des biographes. La perspective adoptée dans le présent travail est tout autre. Pour être déchiffrée et comprise, la figure de Mirabeau ne peut en effet être réduite à celle du tribun qu'il fut pendant deux années de sa vie : il faut restituer, dans leur richesse et complexité, celles de l'«homme de lettres» et du penseur de la dernière génération des Lumières qu'il ne cessa jamais d'être. Les ouvrages de Mirabeau sont nombreux et variés : œuvres libertines, essais, pamphlets, traductions d'auteurs anciens ou modernes, correspondance et, bien sûr, discours ; à quoi s'ajoutent les nombreux manuscrits ou fragments manuscrits conservés dans les archives, principalement à Aix et dans les collections du Ministère des Affaires Étrangères. Parcourant l'ensemble de l'œuvre, publiée et manuscrite, ce travail entend mettre en évidence la cohérence d'une pensée trop souvent présentée comme hétéroclite et dans laquelle pourtant «philosophie» (de l'histoire, de l'art, du langage), théorie de l'éducation et analyses politiques apparaissent solidaires et inséparables. Le Mirabeau retenu par l'Histoire s'éclaire ainsi d'un jour nouveau en même temps qu'apparaissent mieux les raisons de la profonde influence qu'exerça la figure de Mirabeau sur les lettres françaises du siècle suivant - et au-delàHonoré-Gabriel de Riquetti, count of Mirabeau, nobleman from Provence, went down in history as an eminent orator and a major protagonist of the French Révolution in its first stage. As a resuit, most studies on Mirabeau have been written by historians focusing on the political activist and thinker, while his private life was being scrutinized by biographers, starting as early as the end of the 18th century. In our research, we put forward a différent approach. Mirabeau's figure cannot be fully apprehended if confined to the two years of his political prominence in the revolutionary assemblies. It is necessary to examine his rich, prolific, life-long career as a 'man of letters' belonging to the last génération of the Enlightenment. Mirabeau's many works are diverse in nature. They include erotic novels, essays, pamphlets, translations of ancient as well as modem authors, letters, and of course, political discourses ; in addition to those published works, manuscripts or fragments of manuscripts can be found in several archives, most notably in Aix-en-Provence and in the archives of the French Foreign Office. The présent dissertation covers the whole of Mirabeau's published and unpublished works. Against the prevailing notion of an undisciplined thinker, we aim at demonstrating the cohérence of Mirabeau's vision by making apparent the logical ties between his «philosophy» (as applied to history, langage or the arts), his théories on éducation, and his political analyses. Our approach, we hope, will shed a new light on the historical figure of the revolutionnary Mirabeau ; it can also help understand the reasons for Mirabeau's deep and lasting influence

Full textAbstract:
Retz n'est pas seulement un memorialiste. Son genie s'est exerce avec un egal bonheur dans l'art de la parole. Orateur, il l'etait necessairement de par sa profession ecclesiastique ; en outre, sa participation active aux troubles de la fronde lui donnerent a maintes reprises l'occasion de prendre la parole en prive ou en public. Cette etude, qui s'inspire d'une conception de l'orateur heritee des anciens, analyse les multiples aspects d'une rhetorique liee au culte de la gloire. Trois grandes parties se dessinent. La premiere regroupe les deliberations en prive des frondeurs. La seconde illustre une eloquence politique qui se deploie au grand jour, celle de l'orateur dans la cite; elle a pour theatre la rue et ses mouvements de foule, la cour, dans le cadre d'une reception officielle, et surtout le parlement, cour de justice transformee en assemblee deliberative a la faveur des evenements. La troisieme partie est consacree a l'eloquence religieuse : controverse, predication, entre tiens sur le cartesianisme. Dans cette eloquence peu connue, l'ambition personnelle rivalise avec la reconnaissance des valeurs spirituelles. Ce travail a pour but de mettre en lumiere le portrait d'un orateur original, par rapport a l'archetype que ciceron definit dans l' orateur. Il devrait aussi permettre de mieux comprendre la personnalite de retz et plusieurs aspects deconcertants de son action et de son oeuvre. Car la rhetorique qui integre dans sa perspective l'homme et l'artiste, en relation avec un public, contribue a une meilleure intelligence du phenomene de creation litteraireNot only is cardinal de retz a memorialist. He also used his genius with equal felicity in the art of the spoken word. He was an orator out of necessity, due to his ecclesiastical profession. In addition to this, his active participation in the party of the fronde often gave him the opportunity of taking the floor both in public and in private. This study in the tradition of the ancient's conception of the orator analyses the many aspects of a rhetoric linked with the cult of glory. Three main parts emerge. The first concerns the private deliberations of the members of the fronde. The second illustrates a political eloquence which brings to light that of the orator in the city. Its stage being the streets, the movements of the crowd, the court, in the setting of an official reception and above all parliament, a court of justice transformed into a deliberative assembly because of the events. The third part deals with religious eloquence: anti-protestant controversy, predication, discussion on cartesianism. In this little known eloquence personal ambition is set against recognition of spiritual values. The aim of this work is to portray an original orator in comparison with the archetype defined by cicero in "the orator". It should also facilitate a better comprehension of the cardinal's personality and several disconcerting aspects of both his actions and his work. For the rhetoric which encompasses withim its perspective the man and the artist in relation to a public contributes to a better understanding of the phenomenon of literary creation

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:
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.

McAllister, P. A. "Xhosa beer drinks and their oratory." Thesis, Rhodes University, 1987. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1012863.
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.

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:
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:
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

Ce travail analyse le rapport intellectuel entretenu par Cicéron avec Platon, en s'appuyant sur la notion de lecture : quelles traces de la lecture de Platon trouvons-nous dans son oeuvre, comment la réflexion sur la pensée de Platon aide-t-elle Cicéron à construire sa propre pensée. L'analyse est menée dans le De Oratore, le De Republica et le De Legibus. Elle porte d'abord sur la parole et l'éloquence, domaine où la lecture de Platon crée un certain nombre de tensions que Cicéron s'efforce de résoudre. Elle envisage ensuite ce que peut signifier pour Cicéron de penser la cité et sa construction après Platon. Enfin, elle analyse le rapport à Platon dans la façon de penser la gouvernance : la législation, le rapport entre les gouvernants et les gouvernés, la recherche d'un gouvernant idéal. Cette approche permet d'appréhender le processus de la construction intellectuelle, et la singularité de la démarche de Cicéron, homme de culture, de philosophie et d'actionThis work is an analysis of Cicero's intellectual relationship with Plato based on the notion of reading : what traces of Cicero's reading of Plato do we find in his work and how does reflecting on Plato's thoughts enable Cicero to elaborate his own ideas ? The analysis concerns De Oratore, De Republica and De Legibus. Firstly, it focuses on speech and eloquence, an area in which Cicero's reading of Plato reveals ideas conflicting with his own, disagreements that he tries to resolve. Secondly, it examines Cicero's reflections, after Plato , on the city and its constitution. Finally, it compares the views of Cicero and Plato on governance : legislation, the relationship between the governed and the governing and the quest for an ideal ruler. This approach enables us to understand the process of intellectual elaboration, and the uniqueness of the method of Cicero, at once a man of letters, a philosopher and a statesman

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.

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:
Mon travail, consacré aux intersections entre l’art oratoire et le théâtre en Cicéron, débute par un compte rendu des nombreuses études publiées sur ce sujet et par une synthèse des diverses modalités par lesquelles le renvoi au théâtre se réalise. Ma recherche se concentre en particulier sur l’analyse des premiers discours cicéroniens, dès son début dans le forum jusqu’au 68 av. J.-C., quand Cicéron recouvre le rôle de préteur: Pro Quinctio; Pro Roscio Amerino; Pro Roscio comoedo; les sept discours In Verrem; Pro Fonteio; Pro Caecina. Ce travail a produit des nouvelles contributions à l’interprétation des oraisons examinées, tout en confirmant l’efficacité de l’approche critique qui met en relief l’importance de l’apport du théâtre dans l’art oratoire cicéronien.Le renvoi au théâtre est en effet utilisé aux fins de la persuasion rhétorique selon différentes modalités: par le renvoi explicite ou allusif à des personnages théâtraux bien connus, notamment à ceux de la comédie; par des citations de vers théâtraux (d’une façon parfois allusive); par l’emploi de métaphores et d’images liées au monde du théâtre.Pourtant, un regard d’ensemble nous porte à comprendre comment ce renvoi va souvent se réaliser de façon méprisante, dans le cadre d’une stratégie rhétorique d’attaque de la partie adverse, conduite justement par la référence au théâtre.Conformément à certains résultats issus de l’analyse des oeuvres rhétoriques et de la correspondance, se profile donc ce qui pourrait être un élément unifiant et distinctif du renvoi au théâtre dans le genre de l’art oratoire, au moins en ce qui concerne le premier art oratoire cicéronien: l’idée reçue qu’il s’agit de fictions littéraires (fabulae, ineptiae, nugae), qui dérivent d’une dimension différente de celle de la réalité (veritas), à laquelle l’art oratoire est par contre statutairement ancrée. De cela ma constatation d’une modification et d’une adaptation oratoire de ces sujets dans le passage ‘du théâtre au forum’My study focuses on the analysis of Cicero’s early speeches, from the beginning of his forensic career until 68 BC, when he reached the rank of praetor: Pro Quinctio; Pro Roscio Amerino; Pro Roscio comoedo; the seven orations In Verrem; Pro Fonteio; Pro Caecina. My work encouraged further significant contributions to the interpretation of the speeches examined, thus confirming the effectiveness of a critical approach which recognizes the crucial influence of theatre on Cicero’s oratory. Indeed, he made reference to theatre for the purposes of rhetorical persuasion by means of different strategies: explicit or allusive references to famous characters belonging to the world of theatre and, in particular, comedy; quotations from dramatic texts (even allusively); use of metaphors and images drawn from the stage. Furthermore, in the light of this overall view, this connection resulted to be often associated with a depreciating intent, i.e., by developing a rhetorical strategy aimed at attacking the opponent by means of such theatrical references. Consistently with the results of my analysis of Cicero’s rhetorical works and letters, we may identify a unifying and distinctive feature in the theatrical references within the genre of oratory, at least as regards the early Ciceronian speeches: the idea that the world of theatre belongs to literary fiction (fabulae, ineptiae, nugae) within a dimension other than that of reality. Conversely, the connection with reality and truth is a statutory feature of oratory. Therefore, the transition of such subjects from the theatre to the forum requires an adaption to the oratorical context

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.

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).

Full textAbstract:
Dans les assemblées traditionnelles des Bapunu du Gabon, l’exercice de la parole constitue toujours un « événement de communication » (communicative event). Cette étude, qui porte sur l’art oratoire de ce peuple bantu d’Afrique centrale, en est une démonstration manifeste. À partir du cas de deux types de « palabre » à la fois différents et apparentés, à savoir le mariage traditionnel et le jugement coutumier, l’auteur nous plonge au coeur d’une rhétorique interactionnelle particulière. Il nous montre que l’art oratoire punu a un caractère tout à la fois dialogique et monologique : les orateurs, au cours de ces événements communicatifs, se donnent la réplique dans l’« espace de discours » qu’ils occupent tour à tour. Mais ces interventions ― contributions individuelles à l’échange ― correspondent, en fait, à des tirades au cours desquelles se déploient à la fois l’argumentation et un certain nombre de procédés rhétoriques qui mettent à contribution l’auditoireIn ritualized encounters of the Bapunu in Gabon, there is no doubt that speech is always a communicative event. This dissertation deals with two types of speech events – traditional weddings and customary trials. In these two different though related events, the author gives evidence of a very specific interactional rhetoric. He shows that punu oratory presents aspects of dialogue and aspects of monologue all at the same time. In fact, each orator comes to take the « speechfloor » in order to answer other orator’s contradictions. But these dual contributions to the interaction are intrinsically tirades where argumentation is displayed, and some rhetoric processes are designed to seek the public’s reaction. On the whole, the demonstration leads us to a comprehensive and insightful approach to Punu oratory

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.

Full textAbstract:
Les discours politiques de VIctor Hugo ne constituent pas un aspect marginal de son œuvre : il en prononça plusieurs dizaines, de 1846 à 1880, dans cinq chambres et sous quatre régimes politiques différents ; son oeuvre littéraire, de surcroît, présente de nombreux personnages d'orateurs politiques et aborde l'éloquence parlementaire aussi bien par le biais des drames (Ruy Blas) que des romans (L 'Homme qui rit) ou des textes intimes (Choses vues) et théoriques (Littérature et philosophie mêlées). Ce travail étudie d'abord la conception hugolienne de l'éloquence politique et de la fonction de l'orateur, telles qu'elles apparaissent dans ses oeuvres, puis analyse en diachronie et en synchronie, la pratique oratoire de Hugo, depuis l'élaboration des discours jusqu'à leur réception, dans l'Assemblée comme dans le public lecteur de la presse, des brochures et d' " Actes et paroles ". L'éloquence hugolienne apparaît ainsi comme la mise en oeuvre originale d'une éloquence populaire et démocratique, et implique donc, de la part de l'orateur, une réflexion sur les formes d'une parole " pour tous ". L'étude stylistique des discours permet de constater à la fois la permanence de ce projet, et de remarquer l'adaptation constante de l'éloquence hugolienne à son public ainsi qu'aux circonstances historiques, politiques et institutionnelles qui l'entourent. Parole vivante, parole changeante, mais aussi parole profondément concertée, cette éloquence est un objet littéraire original, distinct des discours des parlementaires contemporains qui jouent habilement des dialectiques de l'oral et de l'écrit, du circonstanciel et de l'intemporel, du politique et du littéraireThe political speeches of Victor Hugo do not constitute a marginal aspect of his work. He delivered several dozens, in five assemblies and under four different systems of government. Moreover his dramas, his novels and his essays introduce characters who are orators and depict political eloquence. The analysis of Victor Hugo's concept of eloquence, ten of his own speeches (in diachrony and synchrony), and finally of their reception, shows that Hugo wished an eloquence for the people, and that he sought to implement a democratic and popular language. His political speech is thus an original textual object, addressed to different publics, which mixes the oral and the written, the circumstantial and the timeless, the policy and the arts

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:
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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to explore the various ways in which Romans constructed the orator's role during this period. I emphasize that the orator was a central figure in Late Republican Rome and that a rhetorical training and an ability to speak in public - whether in the courts, in the senate house or in contiones - could be seen as essential attributes for the leading public figures of this time. In this way the thesis contributes to recent work which has stressed that the political system at Rome can be seen as a form of democracy. My chapters are arranged according to the texts which I have used as evidence in each. The first examines the surviving rhetorical handbooks and dialogues, and argues that there was a thriving and agonistic market for rhetorical education at Rome. Greek ideas were reshaped to suit the Roman socio-political world and its different practices, such as advocacy. Roman orators engaged in heated polemic over the best style of speaking, providing further evidence that the world of the forum was highly competitive. The second chapter uses a selection of Cicero's judicial speeches to argue that a Roman advocate could use a wide variety of strategies, both in portraying his relationship with his client, and in presenting his own persona. The third chapter focuses upon Cicero's Philippics, and explores the ways in which an orator could present his relationship - and establish his authority - with his audience, through his selection of arguments, such as the use of exempla. The final two chapters broaden the horizons of the work: the former uses the fragments of Cato the Elder and Gaius Gracchus to suggest that earlier Romans had used similar devices in developing their self-portrayals. The latter explores the historical texts of Caesar and Sallust, the only surviving evidence which sets the speech-act within the contexts of opposing orations and of audience responses. I conclude with an appendix on the published versions of the speeches.
