Abstract

Comment, pendant plus de cinq siècles, les dirigeants de Rome ont-ils pu assurer l'unité d'un vaste empire s'étendant de l'Écosse actuelle aux confins du désert arabique ? Une réponse à ce questionnement est apportée par des orateurs de la fin du iiie siècle de notre ère, originaires d'Autun en Gaule, auteurs de discours rassemblés dans le recueil des Panégyriques latins. Ce livre propose une relecture inédite des Panégyriques latins V(9) et VIII(5), témoins uniques des modes de communication qui pouvaient s'établir entre les représentants d'une communauté civique et les autorités impériales. Dans cet échange mélangeant enjeux administratifs et rituels de cour, convaincre le prince passait par une utilisation habile de la rhétorique de l'éloge. Héritiers de traditions élaborées en Orient à l'orée du Principat, les panégyristes éduens montrent leur maîtrise du genre appelé « discours d'ambassade », mobilisé pour formuler des requêtes officielles ou défendre les intérêts locaux. Dans la stratégie persuasive à l'œuvre, les fleurs de rhétorique, loin de n'être que de vaines paroles, révèlent une multitude d'informations sur la vie municipale, l'évergétisme, la culture des notables, les rituels du pouvoir et bien d'autres choses encore. Par cette réhabilitation d'une documentation longtemps négligée, l'analyse apporte des éclairages nouveaux sur la survie des institutions et des idéaux civiques en Gaule au lendemain de la crise du iiie siècle et, chemin faisant, sur la phase ultime du processus de romanisation. En dernier lieu, ces discours révèlent l'existence, au sein de l'Empire, d'un phénomène unique dans l'histoire, produit d'un mélange subtil de pratiques administratives et de tractations diplomatiques entre les cités et le pouvoir central. Le dialogue noué dans le cadre de la « diplomatie intérieure », source de compromis et d'équilibre entre ces deux échelons de gouvernement, a joué un rôle essentiel dans la cohésion de l'imperium Romanum.

Abstract

This expansive volume traces the rhetoric of reform across American history, examining such pivotal periods as the American Revolution, slavery, McCarthyism, and today's gay liberation movement. At a time when social movements led by religious leaders, from Louis Farrakhan to Pat Buchanan, are playing a central role in American politics, James Darsey connects this radical tradition with its prophetic roots. Public discourse in the West is derived from the Greek principles of civility, diplomacy, compromise, and negotiation. On this model, radical speech is often taken to be a symptom of social disorder. Not so, contends Darsey, who argues that the rhetoric of reform in America represents the continuation of a tradition separate from the commonly accepted principles of the Greeks. Though the links have gone unrecognized, the American radical tradition stems not from Aristotle, he maintains, but from the prophets of the Hebrew Bible.

Abstract

Jonathan Beecher Field tracks the permutations of the town hall meeting from its original context as a form of democratic community governance in New England into a format for presidential debates and a staple of corporate governance. In its contemporary iteration, the town hall meeting models the aesthetic of the former but replaces actual democratic deliberation with a spectacle that involves no immediate electoral stakes or functions as a glorified press conference. Urgently, Field notes that though this evolution might be apparent, evidence suggests many US citizens don’t care to differentiate.
