Class Rethoric

  • Presentation

    Presentation

    Mergulhando nos ensinamentos da eloquente Grécia Antiga – nas suas raízes histórico-políticas e fundações teóricas –, a disciplina de Retórica emerge no presente para descrever e interpretar os seus fins, natureza e práticas na Política e na Cultura contemporâneas, marcadas pela mediação de uma insaciável máquina comunicacional e uma Pólis aumentada e fragmentada.

    Teoria e praxis, ciência e técnica, a Retórica será redescoberta sob essa original duplicidade constitutiva: enquanto estudo das condições e mecanismos da “persuasão” e como oratória – a prática contextual dessa arte de persuadir uma audiência, por meio do discurso e da argumentação, de narrativas e imagens.

    Trata-se de exercitar uma capacidade analítica sobre “o poder da frase cintilante” (Pasternak), que deveio na modernidade “poder de napalm” (Dorothy Day) e se converteu como “vírus que atingiu uma situação permanente no hóspede” (William Burroughs).
