Els textos en noves rimades de Ramon Llull:mètrica i escriptura del vers en les còpies de Guillem Pagès
2022
Aquest treball ofereix una descripció de conjunt dels fenòmens de versificació que presenten tres textos de Ramon Llull: Pecat d’Adam, l’opuscle D’oració (cinquena part de la Medicina de pecat) i l’Aplicació de l’Art general. La tria respon a un doble criteri: tots tres textos són escrits en el mateix esquema de versificació (noves rimades) i de tots tres se’n conserven còpies manuscrites fetes per un mateix copista, Guillem Pagès. L’anàlisi mètrica i estròfica dels textos permet observar els criteris de regularitat mètrica que segueix l’autor i el tipus de llicències que aplica en aquests textos. L’estudi de les còpies de Pagès, a més, posa de manifest l’atenció que presta aquest copista a…

Rhetoric, Neurocognitive Poetics, and the Aesthetics of Adaptation
2017
Rhetorical effects in speech and writing have a great strategic importance in achieving the communicative end of being persuasive: they are key in the exertion of power through language. Persuasion occurs by cognitive-affective stimulation, relying on specific psychosomatic perceptual patterns which are used on all levels of speech reception in cultural and political contexts. This makes rhetorically conspicuous texts efficient as stimulus material for empirical research into neurocognitive modeling of how poetic texts are read. Adaptations as revisitations of prior works share with the rhetorical repertoire of repetition similar cognitive-affective properties, because both function via rec…
The Sacralization of Martyric Death in Romanian Legionary Movement: Self-sacrificial Patriotism, Vicarious Atonement, and Thanatic Nationalism
2016
ABSTRACTThe paper explores the radical morphing of Romanian patriotism in the aftermath of the Great War within the Legionary movement. It shows, first, how the war martialized the rhetoric of self-sacrificial patriotism articulated discursively during the second part of the long nineteenth century that accompanied the making of the Romanian national statehood. Second, the paper focuses on unraveling the postwar cultural matrix that made possible a radical, self-sacrificial, patriotism to emerge within the Romanian Iron Guard’s fascist worldview. Within the Legion’s redemptive political theology, the wartime national patriotism aiming at redeeming the nation by making the Greater Romania wa…
Koiné y aticismo en el tratado de Galeno Sobre los procedimientos anatómicos
2017
El tratado Sobre los procedimientos anatómicos ofrece un extenso corpus para el estudio de la lengua literaria de Galeno. La naturaleza de ésta ha sido alineada tanto en las filas de un aticismo moderado como en las del antiaticismo. Frente a esta segunda opción, que abunda en la definición de la obra desde una óptica que excluye todo fin literario de la misma, los frecuentes recursos retóricos muestran un buen conocimiento de la prosa artística por parte de nuestro autor. Ahora bien, el análisis de la lengua demuestra que está basada en la koiné no literaria.
Analytical Rhetoric, Semiotic and Law
1987
In one of his lessons on rhetoric in Basle at about 1874 Friedrich Nietzsche stated: “Language is rhetoric, because it desires to convey only a doxa (opinion), not an episteme (knowledge)”.2 What does he say?
Presocratic discourse in poetry and prose: The case of Empedocles and Anaxagoras
2012
Abstract This paper explores the differences between poetry and prose in philosophical writing by examining two Pre-Socratic fragments, one in verse and one in prose, that express a very similar thought: Empedocles 59 B 17 Diels/Kranz and Anaxagoras 31 B 8 D./K. Although at first it might seem as though there is a simple division between Empedocles’ opaque and allusive hexameters and Anaxagoras’ sober prose, when we look in detail at the language used by the two authors, a close reading of the passages reveals a more complex picture. Both authors place rhetorical emphasis on their own role as innovator; Anaxagoras’ prose shows a careful attention to style and word choice no less than Empedo…
Tulkinnallinen horjuvuus ja affektit
2013
Ambiguous Meanings and Affects – Death in Monika Fagerholm’s The American Girl and The Glitter Scene The article focuses on the deaths that take place in Monika Fagerholm’s novels The American Girl (2005) and The Glitter Scene (2009). The viewpoint to the novels is that of affects. The theore¬tical framework derives from the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925–1995) who is one of the best-known 20th century philosophers of affect. Firstly, the article discusses the ways in which the deaths affect the characters of the novels. Attention is paid especially to the central character called Doris Flinkenberg. She is strongly affected by the deaths that have taken place in the District where …
El sirventès en la poesia catalana dels segles XIV-XV : un catàleg
2018
The sirventes of the troubadour era has been broadly studied, but there are not overall explanations concerning the evolution of the sirventes genre in the Catalan-speaking lands of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. This paper propounds a catalogue of sirventesos concerning its historical development, the troubadour models, rhetorical and grammatical treatises, and genre assignment in rubrics. Our catalogue contains thirty-one Catalan sirventesos , including twenty-eight extant items and three items lost. In some cases the literary motifs of the sirventes cross boundaries in a process of poetic hybridization with other moral genres which borrow out themes, images and rhetorical strate…
Why Phaedrus? Plato in Virginia Woolf’s novel <i>Jacob’s Room</i>
2012
Recent criticism has addressed the Platonic and ancient Greek influences on Virginia Woolf’s writings generally, and her novel Jacob’s Room specifically, but there has been no accounting of the motivation for the specific use of Plato’s dialogue Phaedrus in the latter novel. This essay will address how Jacob’s Room engages closely with this dialogue not only with regard to thematic focal points of love and rhetoric, but also in terms of more encompassing structures of space and literary form. In the process, a less ironic approach to Plato and his philosophy than that argued for in much recent criticism comes to light in Woolf’s complex negotiations with the precedent of Victorian Hellenism.
