Book excerpt: Parce que nous avons reçu le pouvoir de nous convaincre mutuellement et de faire apparaître clairement à nous-mêmes l'objet de nos décisions, non seulement nous nous sommes débarrassés de la vie sauvage, mais nous nous sommes réunis pour construire des villes ; nous avons fixé des lois ; nous avons découvert des arts et, presque toutes nos inventions, c'est la parole qui nous a permis de les conduire à bonne fin. C'est la parole qui a fixé les limites légales entre la justice et l'injustice, entre le mal et le bien ; si cette séparation n'avait pas été établie, nous serions incapables d'habiter les uns près des autres. C'est par la parole que nous confondons les gens malhonnêtes et que nous faisons l'éloge des gens de bien. C'est grâce à la parole que nous formons les esprits incultes et que nous éprouvons les intelligences, car nous faisons de la parole précise le témoignage le plus sûr de la pensée juste ; une parole vraie, conforme à la loi et à la justice, est l'image d'une âme saine et loyale. C'est avec l'aide de la parole que nous discutons des affaires contestées et que nous poursuivons nos recherches dans les domaines inconnus. Les arguments par lesquels nous convainquons les autres en parlant, sont les mêmes que nous utilisons lorsque nous réfléchissons ; nous appelons orateurs ceux qui sont capables de parler devant la foule et nous considérions comme de bon conseil ceux qui peuvent sur les affaires s'entretenir avec eux-mêmes de la façon la plus judicieuse. En résumé, pour caractériser ce pouvoir, nous verrons que rien de ce qui se fait avec intelligence, n'existe sans le concours de la parole : la parole est le guide de toutes nos actions comme de toutes nos pensées, on recourt d'autant plus à elle que l'on a plus d'intelligence ; aussi les gens qui osent blâmer ceux qui se consacrent à l'éducation et à la philosophie doivent-ils encourir la même haine que les gens qui commettent des fautes envers la puissance divine. (Discours à Nicoclès, III, traduction Mathieu-Brémond, Paris, Belles Lettres, 1987.) C'est ainsi que l'Athénien Isocrate, au Ve siècle avant notre ère, décrit l'empire de l'éloquence, où la parole, accomplie par l'art rhétorique, nourrit la sagesse civile. Ce programme de civilisation, que Cicéron a repris des Grecs et qu'il a enseigné aux Romains, les humanistes italiens de la Renaissance l'ont redécouvert à leur tour, et en ont fait le principe de leur polémique conquérante contre l'empire de la science scolastique. L'Histoire de la rhétorique dans l'Europe moderne, à laquelle ont collaboré de nombreux spécialistes français et européens sous la direction de Marc Fumaroli, s'est proposé de retracer, pour la première fois avec cette ampleur, l'empreinte vivante, réflexive, évolutive, controversée, que l'art antique du discours, depuis la Renaissance, a laissée sur l'éducation, la théorie littéraire, la religion, la philosophie, la société, les arts de l'Europe, depuis le XVe jusqu'au XXe siècle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Enlightenment has been represented in radically opposing ways: on the one hand, as the throwing off of the chains of superstition, custom, and usurped authority; on the other hand, in the Romantic period, but also more recently, as what Michel Foucault termed "the great confinement," in which "mind-forged manacles" imprison the free and irrational spirit. The debate about the "Enlightenment project" remains a topical one, which can still arouse fierce passions. This collection of essays by distinguished scholars from various disciplines addresses the central question: "Was Enlightenment a force for emancipation?" Their responses, working from within, and frequently across the disciplinary lines of history, political science, economics, music, literature, aesthetics, art history, and film, reveal unsuspected connections and divergences even between well-known figures and texts. In their turn, the essays suggest the need for further inquiry in areas that turn out to be very far from closed. The volume considers major writings in unusual juxtaposition; highlights new figures of importance; and demonstrates familiar texts to embody strange implications."--Publisher's website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La rhétorique des arts est un ouvrage collectif qui réunit des auteurs de premier plan, dont Marc Fumaroli, de l’Académie française, et qui apporte une nouvelle perspective sur l’histoire intellectuelle et artistique de l’Europe. Il prolonge l’Histoire de la rhétorique dans l’Europe moderne publiée aux PUF en 1999.Le propos consiste à mettre les beaux-arts en relation avec la rhétorique : d’un côté, la peinture, la sculpture, l’architecture, la musique ; de l’autre, l’art de produire et d’analyser les discours. Rapprochement inattendu, et pourtant... Alors que la rhétorique a parfois la réputation d’être une discipline aride ou spécialisée, on découvre ici que, tout au long de l’histoire européenne, elle a constitué pour les artistes une référence partagée, un répertoire de thèmes et de formes d’expression, une sorte de langue commune. Les orateurs et les théoriciens de la rhétorique se sont intéressés aux arts, cherchant à les comprendre et à apprendre d’eux quelque chose, comparant les moyens et les effets que les artistes ont à leur disposition avec ceux qui sont à la portée des orateurs et des écrivains, rivalisant avec leurs effets visuels et phoniques. Allant plus loin, la rhétorique a exercé une influence sur les arts (ou sur les autres arts, dans la mesure où la rhétorique est elle-même un art), en jouant le rôle d’un paradigme esthétique et intellectuel, d’un élément fédérateur, d’une référence dans l’encyclopédie du savoir. Il s’est constitué un art de persuader propre à chaque art, lié à la spécificité de ses conditions matérielles et à l’autonomie de sa théorie.Tels sont les thèmes sur lesquels porte la réflexion, à propos d’une longue durée qui couvre l’Antiquité gréco-romaine, le Moyen Âge occidental et byzantin, la Renaissance, l’Âge classique et l’époque moderne et contemporaine.Il n’existe aucun livre équivalent sur le sujet. Pour la première fois, une perspective d’ensemble permet aux lecteurs de prendre conscience d’une dimension méconnue de l’histoire intellectuelle et artistique de l’Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, an award-winning look at French salons and the women who presided over them In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, between the reign of Louis XIII and the Revolution, French aristocratic society developed an art of living based on a refined code of good manners. Conversation, which began as a way of passing time, eventually became the central ritual of social life. In the salons, freed from the rigidity of court life, it was women who dictated the rules and presided over exchanges among socialites, writers, theologians, and statesmen. They contributed decisively to the development of the modern French language, new literary forms, and debates over philosophical and scientific ideas. With a cast of characters both famous and unknown, ranging from the Marquise de Rambouillet to Madame de Sta‘l, and including figures like Ninon de Lenclos, the Marquise de Sevigne, and Madame de Lafayette, as well as Pascal, La Rochefoucauld, Diderot, and Voltaire, Benedetta Craveri traces the history of this worldly society that carried the art of sociability to its supreme perfection–and ultimately helped bring on the Revolution that swept it all away.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From ca. 1300 a new genre developed in European literature, Neo-Latin drama. Building on medieval drama, vernacular theatre and classical drama, it spread around Europe. It was often used as a means to educate young boys in Latin, in acting and in moral issues. Comedies, tragedies and mixed forms were written. The Societas Jesu employed Latin drama in their education and public relations on a large scale. They had borrowed the concept of this drama from the humanist and Protestant gymnasia, and perfected it to a multi media show. However, the genre does not receive the attention that it deserves. In this volume, a historical overview of this genre is given, as well as analyses of separate plays. Contributors include: Jan Bloemendal, Jean-Frédéric Chevalier, Cora Dietl, Mathieu Ferrand, Howard Norland, Joaquín Pascual Barea, Fidel Rädle, and Raija Sarasti Willenius.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By looking at rhetoric and politics, this book offers a novel account of Juan Luis Vives’ intellectual oeuvre. It argues that Vives adjusted rhetorical theory to a monarchical context in which direct speech was not a possibility, demonstrated how Erasmian languages of ethical self-government and political peace were actualised rhetorically and critically in a princely environment, and finally, rethought the cognitive and emotional foundations of humanist rhetoric in his late and famous De anima et vita (1538). Ultimately, towards the end of his life, Vives epitomised a distinctively cognitive view of politics; he maintained that political concord was not a direct outcome of institutional or legal reform or of the spiritual transformation of the Christian world (an optimistic Erasmian interpretation) but that concord could only be upheld once the dynamics of emotions that motivated political action were understood and controlled through responsible rhetoric that respected decorum and civility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a subtle, intelligent, and deeply learned recasting of a whole range of issues central to art history: the place of the Baroque in the construction of modern art histories; the peculiar aesthetics of propaganda as a distinctively institutional mobilizing of images and forms; the role of the Jesuits in constructing (and then deconstructing) the relation of architectural style and ideology. Evonne Levy's careful readings of key monuments in the Catholic Baroque shed light not only on those works, but on the whole evolution of art historical understanding—and misunderstanding—that has made the Baroque so central and problematic for the discipline of art history."—W. J. T. Mitchell, editor of Critical Inquiry and author of Iconology and Picture Theory "One of the most original and provocative books in the field of Baroque studies to emerge in the last twenty years, Propaganda and the Jesuit Baroque at once presents a wealth of new materials and radically rethinks what has long been known about the Jesuit Order as a patron of the arts. Through the lens of propaganda, Evonne Levy illuminates her subject in an unprecedented way."—Steven F. Ostrow, author of Art and Spirituality in Counter-Reformation Rome

This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disputation literature is a type of text in which usually two non-human entities (such as trees, animals, drinks, or seasons) try to establish their superiority over each other by means of a series of speeches written in an elaborate, flowery register. As opposed to other dialogue literature, in disputation texts there is no serious matter at stake only the preeminence of one of the litigants over its rival. These light-hearted texts are known in virtually every culture that flourished in the Middle East from Antiquity to the present day, and they constitute one of the most enduring genres in world literature. The present volume collects over twenty contributions on disputation literature by a diverse group of world-renowned scholars. From ancient Sumer to modern-day Bahrain, from Egyptian to Neo-Aramaic, including Latin, French, Middle English, Armenian, Chinese and Japanese, the chapters of this book study the multiple avatars of this venerable text type.

This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early modern period, deceit and fraud were common issues. Acutely aware of the ubiquity and multiplicity of simulation and dissimulation, people from this period made serious efforts to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon, trying to distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable, pleasant and unpleasant, wicked and virtuous forms of deceit, and seeking to unravel its principles, strategies, and functions. The twelve case-studies in this volume focus on the use of deceit by several groups of people in different spheres of life, as well as on its representation in literary and artistic genres, and its conceptualization in philosophical and rhetorical discourses. The studies testify to the rich variety of deceitful strategies applied by people from the early modern period, as well as to the subtlety and diversity of the conceptual frameworks they construed in order to grasp the many aspects of the elusive yet all-pervasive phenomenon of deceit. Contributors include: Daniel Acke, Jacques Bos, Wiep van Bunge, Evelien Chayes, Paul J.C.M. Franssen, Paul van Heck, Toon van Houdt, Alfons K.L. Thijs, Bert Timmermans, Johannes Trapman, Mark van Vaeck, Natascha Veldhorst, and Johan Verberckmoes.
