Vers une modélisation rhétorique de la mauvaise foi?
2022
This paper offers a view of bad faith based on the study of several figures of speech: apodioxis, argument from authority, prolepsis, ratiocination, aposiopesis, comparison, etc. We try and establish formal criteria to distinguish bad faith, at the same time acknowledging that it also resorts to elements of textual continuity, cultural references and values and implications that are not necessarily manifest. Alongside well established figures of speech, we also describe more elaborate types of arguments such as narrative conglobation, lexical arsenal, identity argument, or psychological strategies like denial.
Le mensonge comme manœuvre d’acquisition de légitimité organisationnelle : considérations éthiques et processus de réalisation
2019
This research aims to focus the attention on the concept of "legitimation lie" in order to break the silence surrounding it and to shed light on an organizational phenomenon that is not as rare as what we could believe. Specifically, it provides an explanation of how some entrepreneurs succeed in acquiring initial legitimacy for their small and new businesses through lies. The study of the antithetical association of legitimacy and lies led us to focus on two research axes: on the one hand, the ethical considerations attributed to legitimacy lies and on the other hand, the process of their realization.On the theoretical level, our study required a reassessment of classical moral approaches,…
Lucian, a new Odysseus? : role and issue of a Homeric character in the work of Lucian of Samosata
2015
The aim of our thesis, which comes within the scope of considering the process of rewriting classic texts in the time period of the second sophistic, is to study the unique importance of Odysseus in the writings of Lucian of Samosata. At first, Odysseus is distinguished from Achilles, a character more monolithic who, even in Homer’s works is constructed in contrast to Odysseus. Moreover, from an isolated quote to intricate references, scattered to create echoes between works seemingly very different, the context in which Odysseus appears is more elaborate and subtler than that of Achilles. Hence, studying and comparing references to both heroes is sufficient to imply Odysseus’ primacy, asso…
La mauvaise foi entre discours, éthique et éristique
2022
In the field of critical discourse analysis "bad faith" is hardly a concept and yet stands as an intuitive dimension of speech conventions. It spans across rhetorics, ethics, semantics, reasoning and argumentation. This article and the overall volume which it introduces is interested in trying to develop formal criteria to distinguish bad faith from denial, lying, or manipulation. The aim is to provide linguistic evidence of its inner workings in relation to pragmatical and psychological factors. As it appears in eristic contexts, it takes part in the global agonistic approach to interactions, in particular in arguments about politics, in media coverage and epistemological debates. Our clai…
