Donald Trump in 2016 about the US journalist Megyn Kelly: “I refuse to call Megyn Kelly a bimbo, because that would not be politically correct. Instead I will only call her a lightweight reporter!” #RhetoricOfSilence #shhh #politics #rhetoric #silence #TeamRhetoric #rhetodons #RhetoricalFigures

"Tongues are my Element, I declare,
I'll walk with any man on Earth,
And yet a dearth
Of words will never fear.
The fertile Cups best 'Dictionairies' are.
And as for 'Rherotick', that two-handed Art
Which Play's both Plaintiff's and Defendant's part,
To me 'tis Natural: for ev'n now, what e're,
Me-thinks, I Look on, Double doth appear."

(C. Darby: Bacchanalia, Or, A Description of a Drunken Club, 1683, 12th stanza)

@morettiphd Depends on whether they use the term as a colloquial metaphor or to denote a system/method/training in communication. #rhetoric #rhétorique #rhetorik #rhetodons

Sad news. Marc van der Poel, immediate Past-President of the International Society for the History of #rhetoric (@ISHRhetoric) passed away December 18, 2022. He was a man of great scholarship and admirable kindness. He belongs to those scholars whose counsel was crucial for my career. My thoughts are with his family now.

Finally, after 6+ months, here's my #introduction as well.

I am a #historian of #GraecoRomanCulture at Mainz university, Germany. My research
is focused on structures of communication and the formation of #identities through #education (#intellectualism #rhetoric #philosophy) and #religion. Further interests: #historiography, #anti-monarchic discourse, #ClassicalReceptions.

Thrilled to be part of this #polis.
