"Fines allusions, esquives polies, ambiguïtés volontaires ou non : dans notre vie quotidienne, les sous-entendus sont partout. Nous sommes entraînés à les employer et à les décrypter. Mais avons-nous songé aux implications de ce phénomène ? Il ne se limite pas à des ruses ponctuelles et représente à lui seul une dimension du langage et des rapports sociaux. Le sous-entendu plonge ses racines dans une lecture allégorique du monde. Il est utilisé en littérature et en politique, notamment comme arme contre les totalitarismes. Il pose de délicats problèmes d'interprétation, car qui dit sous-entendu dit risque de malentendu.Deux moments clés sont mis en relation : l'Antiquité classique et la Modernité, depuis les philosophes et les sophistes grecs de l'Empire romain jusqu'à Stendhal, Balzac, Aragon ou Foucault, en passant par Hemingway, Orwell et d'autres. La démonstration s'appuie sur des exemples, des citations et des études de cas, tantôt graves, tantôt drôles – parfois osés. Pour la première fois, vous est proposée une enquête d'ensemble sur le non-dit et le dire autrement. Ce livre aura atteint son but s'il aide à voiler et à dévoiler, à mieux dire et à mieux recevoir."

Speeches of praise and blame constituted a form of oratory put to brilliant and creative use in the classical Greek period (fifth to fourth century BC) and the Roman imperial period (first to fourth century AD), and they have influenced public speakers through all the succeeding ages. Yet unlike the other classical genres of rhetoric, epideictic rhetoric remains something of a mystery. It was the least important genre at the start of Greek oratory, but its role grew exponentially in subsequent periods, even though epideictic orations were not meant to elicit any action on the part of the listener, as judicial and deliberative speeches attempted to do. So why did the ancients value the oratory of praise so highly ? In Epideictic Rhetoric, Laurent Pernot offers an authoritative overview of the genre that surveys its history in ancient Greece and Rome, its technical aspects, and its social function. He begins by defining epideictic rhetoric and tracing its evolution from its first realizations in classical Greece to its eloquent triumph in the Greco-Roman world. No longer were speeches limited to tribunals, assemblies, and courts—they now involved ceremonies as well, which changed the political and social implications of public speaking. Pernot analyzes the techniques of praise, both as stipulated by theoreticians and as practiced by orators. He describes how epideictic rhetoric functioned to give shape to the representations and common beliefs of a group, render explicit and justify accepted values, and offer lessons on new values. Finally, Pernot incorporates current research about rhetoric into the analysis of praise.
