Non solo sillogismo. Per una lettura retorica dell’entimema aristotelico
2013
L'articolo propone una lettura dell'entimema aristotelico che tenga conto anche della tradizione precedente e contemporanea ad Aristotele. L'idea di fondo è che la ricostruzione della storia pre-aristotelica dell'entimema consenta di mettere in luce anche alcuni aspetti della posizione aristotelica che il prevalere di un'interpretazione logicista rischia di occultare. Il dibattito sulla nozione aristotelica di entimema è infatti concentrato prevalentemente sugli aspetti logici, alla ricerca di un unico tratto definitorio che lo distingua dagli altri sillogismi. Nell'articolo si prova a seguire una strada differente che cerchi di comprendere la nozione di entimema a partite non da un solo tr…
Un mondo senza confini, un potere senza limiti. Temi e retoriche identitarie dell’«eccezionalismo» ateniese
2022
Partendo dalla categoria politica di “eccezionalismo”, che è stata utilizzata per descrivere la politica estera degli Stati Uniti, soprattutto nel XX secolo, questo paper propone una analisi comparata con la politica ateniese di V secolo, soprattutto durante il suo impero marittimo: in tale contesto la nozione di “eccezionalismo” sembra adatta per comprendere alcuni aspetti della sua politica e i rapporti tra “eccezionalismo” e democrazia. Starting with the political category of 'exceptionalism', which has been used to describe US foreign policy, especially in the 20th century, this paper proposes a comparative analysis with 5th century Athenian policy, especially during its maritime empire…
‘School, family and then hockey!’ Coaches’ views on dual career in ice hockey
2017
Despite the extensive research into coaches’ roles in supporting athletic development and motivation for sport, few studies have examined coaches’ attitudes and practices towards athletes’ dual careers. The present study extends European research into athletes’ dual careers by examining Finnish ice hockey coaches’ attitudes and practices surrounding players’ education. Ten male coaches aged 27–52 participated in semi-structured interviews. The data were analysed with an existential-narrative theoretical framework and with thematic and structural narrative analysis. Three composite vignettes were created entitled ‘supporting athletic development and players in reaching their own goals’, ‘enj…
Accordo e persona nell’argomentazione: il caso dell’ad hominem.
2012
Is the ad hominem argument a fallacy or not? In this paper I will try to demonstrate that an ad hominem is not intrinsically fallacious and that the speaker’s personal convictions, commitments and actions are deeply involved in every argument. This paper starts with a comparison between dialectical and rhetorical approaches to the argumentation, and, in particular, to the agreement. Briefly: from a dialectical standpoint, the argumentation is aimed at resolving a difference of opinion or a disagreement. On the other hand, from the rhetorical perspective argumentation also often deals with dialogues of the deaf, with incommensurable points of view. The agreement is a key concept of Perelman’…
Rhétorique du menu gastronomique
2009
The elaboration of a restaurant menu as a text aiming at seducing and at convincing visitors, infers that it does not merely enumerates various dishes among which we are to choose from, but that it is a rhetorical production whose processes need to be analysed and whose function needs to be understood. The corpus being studied consists of gourmet menus selected from about twenty fine restaurants. It certainly enables us to observe the main figures of speech (metaphors, metonymies); above all, it reveals the great variety of the rhetorical gear in use : analogies, transgressions, systems of values are as many means of creating the "genuine" flavour of food.
