Objetivos

This seminar aims at, in the general context of the Course, providing a more systematic knowledge of disciplines often related to indistinct and vague notions, or marked by the feelings of mistrust associated with a formalistic aesthetics without any qualified meaning, either in the realm of everyday language or at the level of literary studies. Understanding of literature will, therefore, find support in the consideration of textual strategies of persuasion or in the attempt to clarify an ‘intimate consciousness’ open to meaning or ironically elusive in face of interpretation and criticism. Form and content in literary discourse meet in a close association given ‘a local habitation and a name’ by rhetorical operations, composition techniques, and style modulation.

Programa

The definition of meaning and relevance given to Rhetoric today does not go without the consideration of strategic moments disseminated in the long way of a discipline with such an enduring tradition in western culture. Platonic rejection of of the arbitrary doxa of Sophism, allegedly the enemy of wisdom and truth, the reaction against the rigidity of thought in the prison of the written word, the inscription of logics and dialectics in the Aristotelian view, the crucial moral matrix of Isocrates and the stress on eloquence to be found in Cicero, the central ethical role in the integral formation of citizens, according to Quintilian, or even the structure and organization of argument, in some decisive versions that reveal themselves in the subtlety and ubiquity of their existence in our time, document this progression. Then, the discrimination of our discipline in the amalgamate domain of neighbouring areas, or the clarification of the present status justify the importance of such factors in this context. Along the same lines, Stylistics, always to be considered in close alliance with Rhetoric and in a similar field of research, will be examined in its wide range of definition, in the centrifugal movements in relation to the dominant trends of the use of language, as a crucial tool in literary translation, in the devices and figures that, through irony, metaphor and formal and semantic recreation of the linguistic corpus, modulate writing and speech, subvert heterodoxies and conventional codes and reshape their rhetorical contexts.
