Kairós

Autor: Manuel Millán Cascalló , Francesca Calaf Soler

Número de Páginas: 254

El poemario confronta la percepción reflexiva y lírica del Tiempo concreto de la\r\nvivencia frente a la perennidad y eternidad del Sin Tiempo desde la contraposición de\r\ndos visiones antagónicas, las de la poetisa pintora y las del poeta y caligramista, y sin\r\nembargo, complementarias. Ambos utilizan el castellano como el catalán en poemas, no\r\nobstante distintos y autónomos para cada lengua, y traducen a imágenes parte de sus\r\npoemas para confrontar la sencillez reflexiva, tendente a la síntesis y a la abstracción, de\r\nFrancesca, frente a la complejidad detallista, la voracidad reflexiva y crítica de poemas\r\ny caligramas (caligramas, pictocaligramas y pictogramas caligramáticos) del segundo.\r\nLas visiones añaden al contraste de percepción y plasmación la complementaridad de\r\nlas mismas...

Kairós

Autor: Giacomo Marramao

Número de Páginas: 160

Shedding new light on the fundamental philosophical problem of time, leading Italian philosopher Giacomo Marramao offers a solution to today's 24/7 culture. If we were asked to name the social syndrome of our age under capitalism, it would no doubt be “rush”. Intentional animals as we are, we experience the meaningless acceleration of time, which devours instants and misses its target just like its opposite, undue hesitation. For Marramao, rush and slowness or rashness and hesitation are two mirror forms of untimeliness: two unsuitable ways of seizing time. Through engagement with sources including Heidegger, Bergson, Saint Paul the Apostle, Newtonian physics, and postmodern theory, Marramao calls for a change to how we perceive time. Delving into the Greek and Roman concepts of tempus, chronos, and aión, he argues that there should be no opposition between the scientific-objective time and the existential-subjective one. As such, he introduces his own theory of kairós, or “due time”, as the notion of fertile and decisive timeliness. A timely decision, Marramao advances, is generated by the productive tension between opposites: a tension created equally by swiftness and...

Rhetoric and Kairos

Autor: Phillip Sipiora , James S. Baumlin

Número de Páginas: 273

This collection offers the first comprehensive discussion of the history, theory, and pedagogical applications of kairos, a seminal and recently revised concept of classical rhetoric. Augusto Rostagni, James L. Kinneavy, Richard Leo Enos, John Poulakos, and John E. Smith are among the international list of scholars who explore the Homeric and literary origins of kairos, the technologies of time-keeping in antiquity, the role of "right-timing" in Hippocratic medicine, the improvisations of Gorgias, as well as the uses of kairos in Isocrates, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, and the New Testament. Broad in its scope, the book also examines the distinctive philosophies of time reflected in Renaissance Humanism, Nineteenth-Century American Transcendentalism, Oriental art and ritual, and the application of kairos to contemporary philosophy, ethics, literary criticism, rhetorical theory, and composition pedagogy.

Invention in Rhetoric and Composition

Autor: Janice M. Lauer

Número de Páginas: 282

Invention in Rhetoric and Composition examines issues that have surrounded historical and contemporary theories and pedagogies of rhetorical invention, citing a wide array of positions on these issues in both primary rhetorical texts and secondary interpretations. It presents theoretical disagreements over the nature, purpose, and epistemology of invention and pedagogical debates over such issues as the relative importance of art, talent, imitation, and practice in teaching discourse. After a discussion of treatments of invention from the Sophists to the nineteenth century, Invention in Rhetoric and Composition introduces a range of early twentieth-century multidisciplinary theories and calls for invention's awakening in the field of English studies. It then showcases inventional theories and pedagogies that have emerged in the field of Rhetoric and Composition over the last four decades, including the ensuing research, critiques, and implementations of this inventional work. As a reference guide, the text offers a glossary of terms, an annotated bibliography of selected texts, and an extensive bibliography. Janice M. Lauer is Professor of English, Emerita at Purdue University,...

Bodily Arts

Autor: Debra Hawhee

Número de Páginas: 241

The role of athletics in ancient Greece extended well beyond the realms of kinesiology, competition, and entertainment. In teaching and philosophy, athletic practices overlapped with rhetorical ones and formed a shared mode of knowledge production. Bodily Arts examines this intriguing intersection, offering an important context for understanding the attitudes of ancient Greeks toward themselves and their environment. In classical society, rhetoric was an activity, one that was in essence "performed." Detailing how athletics came to be rhetoric's "twin art" in the bodily aspects of learning and performance, Bodily Arts draws on diverse orators and philosophers such as Isocrates, Demosthenes, and Plato, as well as medical treatises and a wealth of artifacts from the time, including statues and vases. Debra Hawhee's insightful study spotlights the notion of a classical gymnasium as the location for a habitual "mingling" of athletic and rhetorical performances, and the use of ancient athletic instruction to create rhetorical training based on rhythm, repetition, and response. Presenting her data against the backdrop of a broad cultural perspective rather than a narrow disciplinary...

Kairos

Autor: Monique Trédé

Número de Páginas: 360

Le mot grec kairos designe a l'epoque d'Homere un lieu nevralgique du corps, un point critique. Comment en est-il venu a signifier bientot l'occasion, et, en grec moderne, le temps ? Quand, dans la Grece du Ve siecle avant J.-C., naissent les sciences humaines - medecine, politique, rhetorique - , elles cherchent a elaborer un art de la prevision et du pronostic et voient dans la maitrise du kairos la cle du succes. Par quelles voies medecins et orateurs tentent-ils de capturer ce kairos multiforme et insaisissable ? Telles sont quelques-unes des questions a l'origine de cette etude. Dans un monde qui ignore encore largement l'art de la mesure, on assiste aux premiers efforts de la pensee grecque pour tracer l'ebauche d'une logique de la qualite - quete toujours actuelle dont temoignent les efforts de la science contemporaine.

Rhetoric Reclaimed

Autor: Janet Atwill

Número de Páginas: 268

Thoroughly embedded in postmodern theory, this book offers a critique of traditional conceptions of the liberal arts. Citing Aristotle's RHETORIC, author Janet Atwill argues that liberal arts traditions eclipsed the power of rhetoric by transforming it from an art of disrupting and reinventing lines of power to a discipline defined by virtue but modeled on a specific gender and class type.

Late Derrida

Autor: Ian Balfour

Número de Páginas: 232

This special issue of SAQ commemorates and interrogates--with varying measures of appreciation and critique--the late work of the philosopher Jacques Derrida. Resisting simple memorialization of Derrida since his death in 2004, this collection contends that the late work of this prolific theorist remains to be better understood. The contributors explore the peculiar intensity--a combined sense of both patience and urgency--that characterizes Derrida's late writing, suggestive, among other things, of his preoccupation with mortality, of time running out, and of so many pressing things to be done. The essays address a wide array of Derrida's concerns: human rights, justice, religion, the performative, "the gift of death," mourning, and sovereignty. They often put Derrida's texts in conjunction with the works of others--Wordsworth, Agamben, Schelling, and Benjamin, to name a few--that resonate with and on occasion resist Derrida's own thinking and writing. One essay offers a reading of Wordsworth's elegy "Distressful gift!" as a dialogue with questions posed by Derrida, using as its frame the kind of nonnormative mourning that Derrida advocated, together with a haunting analysis of...

Perspectives on Rhetorical Invention

Autor: Janet Atwill , Janice M. Lauer

Número de Páginas: 254

Rhetorical invention--the discursive art of inquiry and discovery--has great significance in the history of spoken and written communication, dating back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. Yet invention has received relatively little attention in recent discussions of rhetoric, writing, and communication. This collection of essays is the first book in years to focus on current research in rhetorical invention. The contributors include many well-established scholars, as well as new voices in the field. They reflect a variety of approaches and perspectives: theory, history, culture, politics, institutions, pedagogy, and community service. Several of the essays address the relationship between invention and postmodernism--some by refiguring invention, others by challenging postmodernism. Still other essays explore multicultural conceptions of invention, the civic function of invention and rhetoric, and the role of rhetorical invention in institutions and in comunity problem solving. Taken together, these essays provide a much-needed forum for ongoing study of rhetorical invention within the framework of recent developments in both scholarship and the culture at large. "If inventional...

The broad impact of Paul Tillich on present-day philosophical-theological thoughtforms--especially of Protestant Christianity--continues unbated into the new century. "Dialogues of Paul Tillich presents Tillich's "conversations with past religious thinkers" basic to Tillich's thought, but also carries the dialogue beyond Tillich's own formulations into conversations with current issues regarding feminism, liberation theology, fundamentalism, world religions, and Christian realism. The essays in "Dialogues of Paul Tillich reflect and contribute to that conversation.

Protagoras and Logos

Autor: Edward Schiappa

Número de Páginas: 276

Reassesses the philosophical and pedagogical contributions of Protagoras Protagoras and Logos brings together in a meaningful synthesis the contributions and rhetoric of the first and most famous of the Older Sophists, Protagoras of Abdera. Most accounts of Protagoras rely on the somewhat hostile reports of Plato and Aristotle. By focusing on Protagoras's own surviving words, this study corrects many long-standing misinterpretations and presents significant facts: Protagoras was a first-rate philosophical thinker who positively influenced the theories of Plato and Aristotle, and Protagoras pioneered the study of language and was the first theorist of rhetoric. In addition to illustrating valuable methods of translating and reading fifth-century B.C.E. Greek passages, the book marshals evidence for the important philological conclusion that the Greek word translated as rhetoric was a coinage by Plato in the early fourth century. In this second edition, Edward Schiappa reassesses the philosophical and pedagogical contributions of Protagoras. Schiappa argues that traditional accounts of Protagoras are hampered by mistaken assumptions about the Sophists and the teaching of the art of...

A Rhetoric of Doing

Autor: Stephen Paul Witte , Neil Nakadate , Roger Dennis Cherry

Número de Páginas: 388

Concerned with both the nature and the practice of discourse, the eighteen essays collected here treat rhetoric as a dynamic enterprise of inquiry, exploration, and application, and in doing so reflect James L. Kinneavy’s firm belief in the vital relationship between theory and practice, his commitment to a spirit of accommodation and assimilation that promotes the development of ever more powerful theories and ever more useful practices. A thorough introduction provides the reader with clear summaries of the essays by leading-edge theorists, researchers, and teachers of writing and rhetoric. A "field context" for the ideas presented in this book is provided through the division of the various chapters into four major sections that focus on classical rhetoric and rhetorical theory in historical contexts; on dimensions of discourse theory, aspects of discourse communities, and the sorts of knowledge people access and use in producing written texts; on writing in school-related contexts; and on several dimensions of nonacademic writing. A fifth section contains a bibliographic survey and an appreciation of James Kinneavy’s work. The exceptional range of these essays makes A...

Zeus a Study in Ancient Religion

Autor: Arthur Bernard Cook

Número de Páginas: 574

Detailing the mythology behind the Greek god Zeus, this volume also includes information about the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.?Sculpted in 432 BC by Greek artist Phidias, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia is one of the most recognized Ancient Wonders. Nearly 40 feet (12 meters) tall, the statue occupied half of the width of the temple where it sat. Ancient Greek geographer Strabo once noted in the first century BC that "if Zeus were to stand up, he would unroof the temple."?Made of ivory and gold-plated bronze, the statue sat in an intricate throne of cedar inlaid with ivory, gold, ebony and precious gems. In Zeus??right hand, he held a small statue of the goddess of victory, Nike. In his left hand, there was a scepter with an eagle perched on top.?It is believed that the Roman Emperor Caligula was the cause of the statue?s destruction. According to Roman historian Suetonius, Caligula gave orders that statues of gods that were especially famous, including that of Zeus at Olympia, were to be brought from Greece in order to have their heads removed and a marble head of Caligula put in their place. According to legend, just as workers were...

The Locations of Composition

Autor: Christopher J. Keller , Christian R. Weisser

Número de Páginas: 328

The Locations of Composition examines how spaces, places, and locations define, problematize, and shape composition studies. From a wide variety of perspectives, including critical theory, rhetoric, cultural geography, genre theory, postcolonial studies, and media studies, the contributors explore the disciplinary boundaries and authority of composition studies, how teachers of writing can engage students in more place-centered pedagogies, and how compositionists can sort through the often hidden and intricate relationships between and among composition's places. The book reveals the complex ways that places are central to the field's history, identity, and ability to move and change.

God in Context

Autor: Sigurd Bergmann

Número de Páginas: 184

In the 1970s theologians in Asia and Africa showed an interest in the way different cultural contexts influenced the interpretation of Christian belief. Manifestations of contextual theologies have since appeared in many parts of the world; animated international discussion about expressions, methods and theories for contextual theology have continued with the spread of contextual theology from the South to the North. The object of these theologies is to shed new light on the concept of incarnation. How does the incarnated God act in a liberating way? Contextual theology explores awareness of the interrelatedness of God and culture.This book surveys important concepts, positions and problems of contextual theology, dealing with different criteria for the interpretation of context and providing explanations of different theoretical models for contextual theology. Particular topics discussed include: the importance of place for the experience of God; a dynamic, correlative and communicative view of tradition; the approach to knowledge in contextualism and the greater right of the poor to aesthetic knowledge; human ecological formation of theology, and the contributions of pictorial...

The Cry of the Harvest

Autor: Chad Taylor

Número de Páginas: 150

The great labor of love that Jesus called 'Harvest' is still defined by this statement, "The laborers are few." There must be a generation that leaps the hurdle of this self-fulfilling prophecy and redefines history. Is it you? 2006 the earth population reached 6.5 billion It is projected to reach 8 billion by 2020 9 billion by 2042 doubling the world population Is the modern church in position to answer this epic challenge? Can our present efforts keep up with this population quantum leap? Chad Taylor takes you past current rhetoric and reveals that the coming of Christ is not an unpredictable event but rather a moment hinged on world harvest. Chad confronts the seemingly insurmountable obstacles that face the church today and puts the mission field within reach. Breaking from the Christian mainstream Chad challenges the church to "launch out into the deep" and invites us all to go with him. The adventure begins now! "Chad Taylor addresses the greatest issue on the heart of God right now - the harvest. He does so with profound insight, and prophetic stirring.

My Brother's Keeper

Autor: Jonathan Burnside , Joanna Adler , Nancy Loucks , Gerry Rose

Número de Páginas: 385

Ten years ago there were no faith-based units in prisons outside South America. Today, they are spreading all over the world, including the United States, Europe and the Commonwealth. My Brother's Keeper is the first major study of a global phenomenon. Exploring the roots of faith-based units in South America, it explains why the Prison Service of England and Wales set up the first Christian-based unit in the western world in 1997 - and its rapid expansion. It also explains how, at exactly the same time, the United States introduced Christian-based units - and why they were complimented by interfaith and multifaith initiatives. At the heart of My Brother's Keeper is an interior account of life inside four Christian-based prison units in England. It draws on the findings of a detailed evaluation conducted by the authors for the Home Office, Prison Service and Kainos Community between 2000 and 2001, including an updated reconviction study. It is an authoritative account of an innovative programme. Its analysis of what works and what doesn't in faith-based units around the world makes My Brother's Keeper a valuable roadmap for all who care about improving prison conditions. It...

Oratory in Action

Autor: Michael Edwards , Christopher Reid

Número de Páginas: 228

This book examines the power and possibilities of public speaking, ranging from the oratory of the Athenian law courts to the political oratory of New Labour. A distinctive feature of the book is its conception of the orator as a performer and practitioner, and of oratory itself as a form of action. Historically, the power of eloquence to rouse and influence an audience made the orator a controversial figure whose rhetorical skills provoked suspicion and awe in almost equal measure. These essays show how orators exploit those skills in their attempts to shape the external world of opinion and fact. They also show how the speech itself may be considered as a linguistic event or "way of happening" which seeks to bind the orator and the audience in prized moments of connection.

Haunting Questions of Liberation Theology

Autor: Jione Havea

Número de Páginas: 171

Liberating is ongoing, and unending. And so is theology. From time to time, it is helpful to look back to discern, and to address, quest(ion)s that haunt current practices. This book looks back over the journey of liberation theology, and it also looks forward, guided by the insights and wisdoms of scholar/activists and practitioners from the global south (Africa, Latin America, Asia, Caribbean, Oceania) plus a few allies from the global north. It reflects on the journey of Liberation Theology as it engages current realities - from technology to queer experience - that are largely ignored by mainline theologies.
