Download or read book Rethinking Orality I written by Andrea Ercolani and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-04-04 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume deals with the mechanisms of the oral communication in the ancient Greek culture. Considering the critical debate about orality, the analysis of the communicative system in a predominantly oral-aural ancient society implies a reassessment and a deep reconsideration of the traces which orality embedded in the texts transmitted to us. In particular, the focus is on the 'cultural message', a set of information which is processed and transmitted vertically as well as horizontally by a living being, so to be differently from a genetically encoded information, a culturally defined process. The survey intertwines different approaches: the methodologies of cognitivism, biology, ethology, to analyze the embrional processes of the cultural messages, and the tools of historical and literary analysis, to highlight the development of the cultural messages in the traditional knowledge, their codification, transmission, and evolutions in the dialectics between orality and writing. The reconstructed pattern of the mechanisms of cultural messages in a prevailing oral-aural system cast a light on a shadowy aspect of a sophisticated communication system that has long influenced European culture.

Download or read book Prosodic and Rhythmic Aspects of L2 Acquisition written by Anna De Meo and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-21 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, prosodic competence has become increasingly important in second language acquisition studies, as it is a crucial element in the identification of non-native pronunciation and message understanding. This volume is the first attempt to provide a survey of interlanguage prosody research in L2 Italian. It begins with an overview of the possible approaches to the study of rhythmic-prosodic skills acquisition in an L2. The second part of the book emphasizes the relationship between the mother tongue and a second language, and investigates the presence of transfer in prosody interlanguage development. The third part illustrates prosody’s role in the interpretation of pragmatic meaning in native-non-native interaction, and its influence on message persuasiveness. And in the fourth part, technology meets prosody in the areas of second language teaching and speech synthesis.

Download or read book Cicero s Use of Judicial Theater written by Jonathan Hall and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2014-08-13 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Cicero’s Use of Judicial Theater, Jon Hall examines Cicero's use of showmanship in the Roman courts, looking in particular at the nonverbal devices that he employs during his speeches as he attempts to manipulate opinion. Cicero's speeches in the law-courts often incorporate theatrical devices including the use of family relatives as props during emotional appeals, exploitation of tears and supplication, and the wearing of specially dirtied attire by defendants during a trial, all of which contrast strikingly with the practices of the modem advocate. Hall investigates how Cicero successfully deployed these techniques and why they played such a prominent part in the Roman courts. These "judicial theatrics" are rarely discussed by the ancient rhetorical handbooks, and Cicero’s Use of Judicial Theater argues that their successful use by Roman orators derives largely from the inherent theatricality of aristocratic life in ancient Rome—most of the devices deployed in the courts appear elsewhere in the social and political activities of the elite. While Cicero’s Use of Judicial Theater will be of interest primarily to professional scholars and students studying the speeches of Cicero, its wider analyses, both of Roman cultural customs and the idiosyncratic practices of the courts, will prove relevant also to social historians, as well as historians of legal procedure.
Download or read book The Trial of Warren Hastings written by Chiara Rolli and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impeachment trial of Warren Hastings lasted from 1788 until 1795. Hastings was the first Governor-General of Bengal and his trial had a formative impact on the British Empire. Chiara Rolli shows that in an age when British education consisted mainly of classical studies, it was antique views of rhetoric and imperial governance that permeated the trial. Prosecutor Edmund Burke was figured as a modern-day Cicero fighting corruption in the colonies, while Hastings was Verres, the corrupt propraetor of Sicily in the first century BC. In their prosecution, both Burke and Richard Brinsley Sheridan employed certain coups de théâtre – such as fainting for emphasis – advised by Cicero and the later Roman rhetorician Quintilian, whose style of spectacular justice played particularly well amid the eighteenth-century vogue for sentimental drama. Burke's defence of natural rights and passion for extirpating vice in the colonies similarly reflected an admiration for Cicero, just as Hastings' preference to rule the conquered by means of their own traditions recalled models of Roman provincial administration. Using contemporary journalism, satire and other ephemera, the book reconstructs the public's equally profound grasp of these parallels. It illuminates new aspects of early British discourse around the Empire, and shows how deeply classical precedents influenced the cultural and political imaginations of eighteenth-century Britain.
Download or read book Le ali degli angeli written by Gigliola Ferrucci and published by Sogno Edizioni. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il presente testo affronta il tema dell’Angelologia studiando la Cabalà, le lettere ebraiche che compongono il nome di ognuno dei 72 Angeli e proponendo una spiegazione del carattere, dei talenti e dei difetti appartenenti a tutte le persone nate sotto l’influenza di ogni Angelo specifico. Inoltre ci sono capitoli introduttivi e di spiegazione sui Fiori di Bach, Fiori Australiani, Pietre, Aromaterapia e colori in quanto rimedi consigliati per creare un collegamento diretto con la propria energia Angelica specifica. Questi rimedi hanno la capacità, se usati in sinergia tra loro e con l’intenzione profonda della persona, di eliminare tutte quelle ostruzioni energetiche, psicologiche ed emotive che impediscono di contattare il flusso di energia del proprio Angelo, precludendo così le possibilità di sviluppo più profonde della persona.
Download or read book Protomusic The role of Prosodic Modulation in the Emergence of Language written by Alessandra Anastasi and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anastasi introduces an alternative vision about language development and music involvement to the current scientific discourse. Her view is based on a rigorous evolutionary perspective, through which she not only demonstrates the hypothesis of vocal continuity with other species via morphological data but, more importantly, also demonstrates how music is first and foremost a biological and cognitive trait. The bond between animal and human communication is here interpreted as an interspecific universal with a clear evolutionary impact on the speech’s natural history. Such continuity does not undermine the species-specificity of our linguistic system and, at the same time, supports the theory according to which music had a clear evolutionary role in the inception of the prosodic and musical components of speech. In leaning towards a bio-naturalistic approach, the most convincing view is that of a vocal and functional continuity of music. This appears to be demonstrable through the evolutionary past of vocality in other animal species, not constrained from having some form of cultural transmission. The book evidences that the current research scenario on non-human animal communication benefits from the support of semiotics and, specifically, zoosemiotics. The latter approach enables us to interpret music and chant not only as a simple formal and meaningless exercise, but rather as a communicative element perceived and processed by organisms equipped with cognitive abilities. Anastasi argues that vocal continuity, made possible by biological constraints that mark its anatomical and physiological aspects, places human beings in a relationship of semiotic continuity with non-human communication forms. In turn, this enables us to better describe the phylogenetic processes which determined the development of musical behaviours in the Sapiens, as well as the way in which such behaviours interwove with the expressive vocality of the animal world.
Download or read book Ethics Identity and Community in Later Roman Declamation written by Neil W. Bernstein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhetorical training was the central component of an elite Roman man's education, and declamations--imaginary courtroom speeches in the character of a fictional or historical individual--were the most advanced exercises in the standard rhetorical curriculum. The Major Declamations is a collection of nineteen full-length Latin speeches attributed in antiquity to Quintilian but most likely composed by a group of authors in the second and third centuries CE. Though there has been a recent revival of interest in Greco-Roman declamation, the Major Declamations has generally been neglected. Ethics, Identity, and Community in Later Roman Declamation is the first book devoted exclusively to the Major Declamations and its reception in later European literature. It argues that the fictional scenarios of the Major Declamations enable the conceptual exploration of a variety of ethical and social issues. Chapters explore these cultural matters, covering, in turn, the construction of authority, the verification of claims, the conventions of reciprocity, and the ethics of spectatorship. The book closes with a study of the reception of the collection by the Renaissance humanist Juan Luis Vives and the eighteenth-century scholar Lorenzo Patarol, followed by a brief postscript that deftly surveys the use of declamatory exercises in the contemporary university. This much-needed and engaging study will rescue the Major Declamations from generations of neglect, while critically informing current work in rhetorical studies.

Book excerpt: IRDA EDIZIONI L'opera "La voce dell'ego" è pura sostanza poetica. Sostanza per-ché l'autrice riesce a dire, con estrema e essenziale semplicità, ciò che l'anima, il cuore e la sua vita racchiudono dentro. Lo fa in rima. Certo, molti oggi sentendo la parola "rima" storcono il naso perché la rima è retrò, non attrae ecc... ecc ... ma non sempre questo è vero e la poetessa Ignazia Maria Angilieri ce lo conferma attraverso i suoi versi che spaziano con abilità dall'amore alla natura passando per i problemi che affiggono la società. Scrivere è un'arte e l'arte non è mai semplice ma farlo con il cuore, con l'emozione e con la consapevolezza del dire senza pretendere bè, allora tutto ciò può e deve considerarsi lodevole e questo libro lo è perché da spunti di riflessione puri e onesti, senza pretendere di consigliare o di criti-care ma solo di dire che ognuno ha il diritto di parlare!
