Retorica e post-verità: una tesi controcorrente

2018

Fin da quando è balzato agli onori della cronaca ed ha suscitato l’interesse degli studiosi , il fenomeno della post-verità ha ricevuto due principali interpretazioni. Alcuni hanno osservato che in esso non c’è nulla di realmente nuovo; altri, al contrario, hanno sottolineato la stretta relazione tra postmodernismo e post-verità. Come è stato di recente sostenuto da Lee McIntyre (2018: 11): «If one looks at the Oxford definition, and how all of this has played out in recent public debate, one gets the sense that post-truth is not so much a claim that truth does not exist as that facts are subordinate to our political point of view» (2018: 11, corsivo originale). Partendo da questa specifica…

Książę Niccola Machiavellego jako przykład zastosowania toposu zakulisowości

2019

Aby wyjaśnić fenomen popularności Księcia Niccola Machiavellego, należy wskazać na osobliwy sposób komunikowania się autora tego dzieła z czytelnikiem. Autor przedstawia siebie jako fachowca z dziedziny sztuki politycznej, za swoich czytelników zaś chce mieć jedynie tych, którzy, jak on, znają się na rzeczy. Charakterystyczny zimny i, z pozoru przynajmniej, nieozdobny styl, jakim posługuje się autor Księcia, podkreśla dodatkowo profesjonalny i nieosobisty stosunek pisarza do przedmiotu jego rozważań. W kategoriach teorii retorycznej taki sposób komunikowania się daje się opisać jako poszukiwanie okrężnych dróg do tego, co Kenneth Burke określał mianem konsubstancjacji retorycznej. Mówca sta…

The eikos between Logic and Rhetoric. A Comparison between Aristotle and the Rhetorica ad Alexandrum.

2010

The paper proposes a comparison between the Aristotelian concept of eikos and that which is found in the Rhetorica ad Alexandrum. The aim is to shed light upon both the differences between the two perspectives and their relative continuity in relation to the prior tradition. The basic assumption is that the rhetorical notion of eikos has theoretical worth and many philosophical questions revolve around it. The boundary between philosophy and rhetoric is much less defined than what a long tradition has led us to believe.

Parlare alla pancia. Sulla falsa dicotomia tra emozioni e ragioni

2020

Nell’attuale dibattito sul tema della post-verità le emozioni sono generalmente pensate in contrapposizione o ai ‘fatti’ o alle ‘ragioni’. Tale contrapposizione sottintende una forte svalutazione della sfera emotiva, percepita come sostanzialmente ‘irrazionale’ e pertanto pericolosa. L'articolo intende mostrare l’inadeguatezza di questa idea facendo ricorso all' apparato concettuale della Retorica di Aristotele. Il limite principale della dicotomia emozioni/ragioni consiste nel non tenere nel debito conto il fatto che l’azione umana (cui il discorso persuasivo in ultima istanza mira) non può mai prescindere dalla componente del desiderio, che è invece centrale nella prospettiva aristotelica…

Performative Control and Rhetoric in Aotearoa New Zealand’s Response to COVID-19

2021

This article analyses how specific nodal points of performative control developed and consequently structured the discourse on Aotearoa New Zealand’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It identifies these points by adopting a rhetorical-performative approach to uncover three particular performances of control that articulated the pandemic in Aotearoa New Zealand, from the diagnosis of the first COVID-19 case in the country in February 2020 through to October 2020. This period of analysis covers the emergence, subsequent nationwide lockdown, elimination, and re-emergence of the virus. There are three distinct nodal points that unfold as key to the nation’s ability to control COVID-19: the he…

Twitter rhetoric ? Argumentation in a Twitter debate : a case study

2015

International audience; On the 20th June 2008, “#pdfdebate”, the first presidential campaign debate to be held on Twitter, was launched. For five days, a representative of each of the two major candidates to the US presidential election used their Twitter account to engage in a debate on technology and government, moderated by a famous political blogger. This initiative of Personal Democracy Media, a private foundation dedicated to the study of new technologies in politics, has had no real posterity to this day and was generally considered as a failure. Commentators, both in the press and on Twitter, mostly blamed this failure on the fact that Twitter and its interface are not really suitab…

Sic astra mereri. Un’analisi della Controversia de statua viri fortis di Draconzio

2017

Nel contesto dell’Africa vandalica del quinto secolo si distingue una singolare reviviscenza degli studi retorici e, segnatamente, declamatori. Sotto questo profilo, emerge con particolare rilievo uno dei Romulea di Draconzio; si tratta del numero 5 della raccolta, dal titolo Controversia de statua viri fortis. Nel componimento, una esercitazione retorica elaborata in versi esametrici, l’autore riattualizza un motivo topico delle scuole di declamazione, il contrasto tra un dives ed un pauper, arricchendolo di molteplici stratificazioni letterarie, da Virgilio a Lucano soprattutto, che tuttavia non celano lo straordinario interesse draconziano ad intestarsi un certo aggiornamento delle prati…

Using a Rhetorical Framework to Predict Corruption

2008

The field of rhetoric provides unique frameworks and tools for understanding the role of language in moral reasoning and corruption. Drawing on a discursive understanding of the self, we focus on how the rhetoric of conversations constructs and shapes our moral reasoning and moral behavior. Using rhetorical appeals and a moral development framework, we construct three propositions that use variation in the rhetoric of conversations to identify and predict corruption. We discuss some of the implications of our model.
