Reviews La potenza della patota. Destmatan, fimziotii, bersagli, Atti del convogno di studi (Siena, 7-8 maggio 2002), a cura di S. Beta, (Fiesole: Edizioni Cadmo, 2004), 179 pp. La potenza della parola è un agile volume, sesto tra i Quadernidel ramo d'oro, ed è il frutto di uno dei convegni organizzati dal Centro Interdipartimentale di Studi Antropologici sulla Cultura Antica dell'Università di Siena, che per istituzione coniuga discipline e approcci scientifici diversi per lo studio del Mondo Antico. Il tema è—come indica il titolo—quelle della parola efficace e dei suoi funzionarnenti sulle tracce in particolare delle teorie sugli speech acts del filosofo del linguaggio J. L. Austin (How to Do Things with Words, Oxford 1962) e dei più recenti sx iluppi dell'antropologia del linguaggio. I contributi spaziano dall'epica omerica al profetismo africano e aile odierne campagne elettorali americane. Ma alla diversité di culture e di approcci corrisponde una notevole interazione tra gli studiosi, che ha trovato la sua gestazione prima e durante il convegno, e poi ancora nella fase di redazione del volume (tra le moite indicazioni v. pp. 15 n. 1, 133-35, 149 n. 1). In particolare rappresenta un punto di convergenza di interessi e di prospettive di analisi per tutti gli autori (v. p. es. alie pp. 43s., 101s., 104 n. 8, 117, 130s., 136) l'intervento dal titolo II fare del linguaggio di Alessandro Duranti, che è posto a sigillo del volume (pp. 149-66). Infatti si tratta di un approccio per eccellenza interdisciplinare, quello proprio dell'antropologia lingüistica, che studia il linguaggio come prassi, divertiré, potenzialità e azione sociale (v. A. Duranti, Antropología del linguaggio, Roma 2000, p. 30). L'oratoria samoana, che è stata l'oggetto di numerosi studi da parte dell'A., costituisce il primo spunto per una verifica sul dire comefare: quando in un consiglio di villaggio si passa dalla celebrazione del passato alia discussione politico-giudiziaria, si puo osservare come la transizione sia marcata dalla formula tatou talatalanoa 'parliamo(ne) insieme', la quale indica una forte corrispondenza tra parola e azione. Per i Samoani il verbofai vale sia 'dire' che 'fare', cosí viga ha il valore sia di 'significato' che di 'azione'. Parole diverse—se ne deduce—rendono possibili mondi diversi. Salle tracce di Austin il dire come fare deve essere concettualizzato nella prospettiva del contesto e degli interlocutori piuttosto che in quella delle intenzioni (il cui ruolo è stato sottolineato invece da J. R. Searle e da H. P. Grice, cf. Durand Rhetorica, Vol. XXIV, Issue 2, pp. 217-232, ISSN 0734-8584, electronic ISSN 15338541 . U2006 by The International Society for the History of Rhetoric.

Il significato di un enunciato è il prodotto di un'interazione ed è proiettato verso gli effetti che esso produce. L'A. presenta poi una seconda prospettiva d'indagine sul linguaggio come costruzione del Sé nel rapporto con gli interlocutori. L'esempio proposto è relativo al discorso politico, in quanto parola che per eccellenza viene agita in pubblico. Per il candidato delle elezioni americane Walter Capps la potenza del racconto diviene azione, la narrativité è utilizzata di fronte agli elettori per creare una persona, un Sé politico nelPinterazione tra l'enunciato e gli interlocutori, anche al di là delle stesse intenzioni del locutore. È quello che avviene a Odisseo tra i Feaci—come possiamo osservare dalla nostra pro­ spettiva épica—, quando attraverso la narrazione ritorna a essere un eroe, anzi è proprio attraverso il suo stesso racconto che diviene l'eroe del nostos, prima ancora che attraverso i1 canto degli aedi. Un'ultima valutazione riguarda l'agentività (agency), di cui PA. propone una definizione: è «la propriété di quegli enti che (i) hanno un certo grado di controllo sulle loro azioni, (ii) le cui azioni hanno un effetto su altri enti (e a volte su se stessi), e (iii) le cui azioni sono oggetto di valutazione» (cf. A. Duranti, Performance and Encoding ofAgency in Historical-Natural Languages, in SALSA Proceedings, vol. 9, eds. K. Henning, N. Netherton...

Reviews Aristotele, Retorica e Poética, a cura di Marcello Zanatta, Torino, UTET, 2004, pp. 836 Anche se l'ultima versione italiana con commento della Retorica di Aristotele vede la luce insieme al testo della Poética, la presente scheda si concentrerá solo sulla parte dedicata alia Retorica. Il volume, stampato come sempre in maniera impeccabile dalla UTET, si apre con una «Premessa» comune alie due opere (pp. 8-12): segue la parte dedicata alia Retorica, che comprende una lunga «Introduzione» storico-filosofica al testo (pp. 15-120), un'accurata ed assai aggiornata «Nota Bibliográfica», ripartita in sezioni (pp. 121-37), alia quale si puó aggiungere la recente versione tedesca, Aristóteles, Rhetorik, übersetzt und erláutert von C. Rapp, Berlin 2002; segue la traduzione della Retorica accompagnata da note esplicative per alcuni passi (pp. 139-378), un «Sommario» degli argomenti di ogni capitolo dell'opera (pp. 379-442), e una serie di utilissimi «Indici» della Retorica, posti alla fine del volume: «Indice dei nomi di persona, di divinité e di popoli» pp. 695-700,«Indice dei nomi geografici» pp. 701-2, «Indice delle opere espressamente cítate nella Retorica» p. 703, «Indice dei termini e delle espressioni notevoli» pp. 705-66, «Indice delle equivalenze greco-italiano» pp. 767-89. La semplice presentazione di questa massa di materiale chiarisce l'obiettivo di Z., che con quest'opera non ha solamente fornito al pubblico italiano una nuova versione della Retorica, ma ha voluto anche approntare una sorta di Companion alla Retorica, da cui qualunque tipo di lettore italiano potesse partiré per trarre semplici informazioni o per svolgere ricerche sugli aspetti piú svariati di questo fondamentale testo aristotélico. Si puó subito dire che la parte del volume dedicata alia Retorica ha plenamente raggiunto l'obiettivo che il curatore dell'opera e il prestigio della collana si sono prefissi: questa versione della Retorica ambisce a sostituire, dunque, la canónica, ma ormai invecchiata traduzione di Armando Plebe apparsa in Aristotele, Opere, vol. X, Barí, Laterza, 1973, e la piú recente edizione e traduzione, curata da M. Dorati, con un'introduzione di E Montanari, Milano, Mondadori, 1996. Nella «Premessa», Z. presenta e discute con meticolosa precisione tutti gli argomenti che consigliano oramai di trattare separatamente la Retorica e la Poética: in particolare, giusto risalto è dato alla differente finalité che si propongono le due opere, Puna, la Retorica, collegata alie opere dialettiche e rivolta al problema del raggiungimento di un sapere vero o almeno Rhetorica, Vol. XXIII, Issue 1, pp. 93-101, ISSN 0734-8584, electronic ISSN 15338541 . ©2005 by The International Society for the History of Rhetoric.

Tuttavia, pur di fronte ad argomenti cosí cogenti, viene da pensare che la forza della tradizione abbia avuto ragione degli argomenti filosofici, se alia fine Z. e la casa editrice UTET hanno pur sempre ritenuto utile confermare l'accoppiamento di Retorica e Poética, che sono poste tradizionalmente vicine in coda al corpus aristotélico sin dalle edizioni del Cinquecento, in quella Ottocentesca di I. Bekker (5 voll. Berlín, 1831-1870), e che compaiono insieme anche nella precedente opera italiana di divulgazione del pensiero aristotélico che fu la traduzione Laterziana delle opere dello Stagirita (11 voll. nella collana "Filosofi antichi e medievali", Barí 1973, poi ristampati nella "Biblioteca Universale Laterza", Barí 1983), in cui Retorica e Poética erano riunite nel décimo volume. In realtá, il problema della disposizione della Retorica all'interno del corpus delle opere aristoteliche non é affatto esteriore, ma riguarda l'interpretazione generale da daré al trattato e la collocazione teórica da assegnargli all'interno del pensiero dello Stagirita. Infatti, sin dalla sua apparizione neirOccidente medievale alia fine del XIII sec. la Retorica ebbe problemi di assestamento nel patrimonio cultúrale e scolastico europeo: a differenza delle opere di l...

Reviews 97 proposito dell inizio délia Retorica (Arist. Rhet. 1354al—11), puo forse serviré a rendere piú evidenti queste mié osservazioni: La retorica è controcanto alia dialettica. Entrambe, infatti, hanno per°ggetto alcune «nozioni» di genere tale che in un certo modo, come«nozioni» comuni, è proprio di tutti quanti conoscere e che non sono peculiari di nessuna scienza determinata. Percid tutti in un certo modo partecipano di entrambe, giacché tutti fino a un certo punto intraprendono e a saggiare un discorso e a sostenerlo e a difendersi e ad accusare. Tra i più, dunque, gli uní compiono queste cose senza método, gli altri per una consuetudine che deriva da un abito. Ma poiché è possibile in ambedue i modi, è chiaro che si potrá compierle anche con una via. In effetti, è possibile scorgere la causa, ossia ció per cui realizzano lo scopo sia quelli che «operano» in forza di una consuetudine, sia quelli che «operano» per caso, e tutti ormai converranno che tale «compito» è opera di un'arte. (Trad. ital. di Marcello Zanatta, p. 141) La retorica è analoga alia dialettica: entrambe riguardano oggetti che, in certo modo, è proprio di tutti gli uomini conoscere e non di una scienza specifica. Perciô tutti partecipano in certo modo a entrambe; tutti infatti sino a un certo punto si occupano di indagare su qualche tesi e di sostenerla, di difendersi e di accusare. Senonché la maggior parte fa ció spontaneamente, alcuni invece lo fanno per una pratica che proviene da una disposizione. Poiché sono possibili entrambe le cose, è evidente che è possibile anche in questa materia delineare un método; è possibile infatti ricercare la causa per cui riescono sia coloro che lo fanno per pratica sia coloro che lo fanno spontaneamente, e tutti concorderanno che questo è il compito di un'arte. (Trad. ital. di Armando Plebe, in Aristotele, Retorica, Barí, Laterza, 19832, p. 3) Comunque, queste considerazioni sulla versione di Z. non inficiano il va­ lore complessivo del suo lavoro, che resta quantitativamente poderoso, di notevole livello scientifico e meritorio per il prezioso e aggiornato strumento scientifico e bibliográfico che ha messo a disposizione del pubblico italiano. Giancarlo Abbamonte University di Napoli Federico II L'ouvrage recensé ici est, comme on le voit par ses dimensions, une«Somme» récente consacrée aux trois Livres de la Rhétorique ainsi qu'au Traité de la Poétique d'Aristote. Conformément au principe de la Collec­ tion des «Classiques UTET», il s'agit de présenter la traduction—sans texte original, donc—de textes de référence, entourés d'un appareil scientifique plus ou moins important selon les auteurs. Ce nouveau volume des Œuvres 98 RHETORICA d'Aristote livre un immense et précieux travail réalisé par le philosophe et savant qu'est Marcello Zanatta, qui assume également la traduction. Après une brève présentation d'ensemble (de 6 pages), 105 pages d'étude générale, complétées par 17 pages de bibliographie introduisent la traduction an­ notée des Livres de la Rhétorique, puis, dans une seconde partie, 117 pages d'introduction, complétées par une bibliographie de 23 pages, précèdent le texte traduit et annoté de la Poétique. L'ensemble est enrichi d'une qua­ rantaine de pages d'indices. Comme on le voit donc, on a affaire ici, non seulement à des instruments de travail très riches, mais pratiquement, avec ces deux introductions substantielles, à deux livres théoriques où Marcello Zanatta propose sa lecture des Traités et met en discussion les interprétations modernes (de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle principalement, dans les domaines anglo-saxons, germaniques et latins). Ainsi, les conceptions du commentateur se répartissent entre trois pôles, entre lesquels un jeu de ren­ vois permet de circuler: les études préliminaires, leurs notes souvent très développées et l'annotation complétant sa traduction. L'auteur, qui unit une double culture juridique et philosophique, est spécialiste d'Aristote, dont il a déjà traduit et commenté plusieurs ensembles, en particulier l'imposant sexténaire de YOrganon dans la même Collection des Classiques UTET: Aristotele, Organon, a cura di Marcello...

Reviews Giulio Guidorizzi e Simone Beta, La metáfora, testi greci e latini tradotti e commentât! (Pisa: Edizioni ETS, 2000), 243 pp. Un nuovo volume sulla metafora: non un nuovo saggio, né una nuova prospettiva ermeneutica di una fra le più complesse risorse dell'attività co­ municativa, paradigmática della duttilità del linguaggio. Più semplicemente, un'utile ed esauriente raccolta di testi antichi sulla metafora, per la precisione 54, greci e latini (pp. 37-123), accompagnati da un commento di pari estensione (pp. 125-220) e incorniciati da una breve introduzione (pp. 11-36) e da una bibliografía selettiva (pp. 221-230), cui segue un indice completo dei passi citati (pp. 231-242). L'introduzione puô essere valutata come una sorta di guida alla lettura e all· inquadramento dei testi, al di là del commento che li accompagna singolarmente . In essa vengono fissati alcuni punti chiave: 1) "inizio aristotélico" della riflessione sulla metafora; 2) "apparente paradosso" del ricchissimo impiego della metafora nella poesía greca prima della sua teorizzazione: il termine appare per la prima volta nell'Evagora di Isocrate; 3) tratti fondamentali del consolidamento della teoría retorica della metafora a partiré da Aristotele; 4) teorie moderne della metafora e messa in discussione della "marmórea solidità della retorica 'cosiddetta' classica"; 5) approfondimento critico della teoría aristotélica e delle sue contraddizioni. Lo scopo prevalentemente didattico del volume (Guidorizzi ricorda in premessa che il libro nasce come "sviluppo e completamento di un lavoro pubblicato in forma di dispensa universitaria") ne consentirá un'adeguata utilizzazione per chi vorrà verificare un'analisi diacronica della presenza della teoría della metafora nella trattatistica antica ed attrezzarsi, cosi, per una proficua valutazione delle continuità e discontinuità con le teorie moderne. Per quanto riguarda i testi, il criterio della loro scelta—con disposizione in sequenza cronológica—è consistito evidentemente nella presenza in essi del termine técnico o di una locuzione che lo designi. Da questo punto di vista, sembra costituire un'eccezione T9, Aristóteles, Rhetorica III 2.1 (1404 b 1-12)—p. 46, commento a p. 139 s.—, che riguarda in generale la chiarezza della lexis. Il terzo dei tre testi che aprono la raccolta, prima della consistente sequenza di testi aristotelici (ben 21 su 54), è unpasso dell'orazione di Eschine Contro Timarco 166 s. (p. 40, commento a p. 128 s.). Lo precedono due testi di Isocrate. Gli autori sottolineano che "il passo riportato, benché privo di© The International Society for the History of Rhetoric, Rhetorica, Volume XIX, Number 4 (Autumn 2001).

La giusta osservazione potrebbe riguardare anche altri elementi della terminología lingüistica, che verranno poi fissati in modo univoco nella trattatistica retorica o grammaticale: si pensi, ad esempio a rhema, verbo, ma anche locuzione, espressione, enunciato, come é spesso testimoniato proprio nell' oratoria attica. In ogni caso, nel passo di Eschine la valenza del termine técnico é in realtá attenuata dalla presenza del suo "determinante" costitutivo, cioé onomato-n\ la metaphorá é sempre spostamento, trasferimento di nomi, anche se l'effetto della collocation, la risorsa lingüistica che permette di separare un sintagma forte dal punto di vista semántico e sintattico, anticipando uno dei due termini del nesso e contando sulla presunzione di reperibilitá dell'altro a breve distanza testuale, autorizza spesso a rendere autosufficiente proprio uno dei due termini, con conseguente eliminazione dell'altro. Ebbene, nel passo eschineo, l'osservazione dell'oratore concerne proprio la possibilitá che Demostene rovesci sul giovane Alessandro, figlio di Filippo, delle ben elabórate "metafore di nomi", rendendo ridicola la cittá di Atene. Si puó immaginare, dunque, che, proprio nel periodo in cui il termine si fissava técnicamente, il sintagma completo lo rendesse piú "popolare" e largamente comprensibile, potremmo dire paradossalmente, proprio per la visibilitá della sua valenza metaf...

464 RHETORICA Nanine Charbonnel, Georges Kleiber, edd., La métaphore entre philosophie et rhétorique (Paris: Presses Universitaires de France, 1999), 245 pp. Dès les années 1960, linguistes, philosophes, anthropologues et historiens ont rencontré et expérimenté l'importance et les ressources de la métaphore ; mais ils l'ont fait en général sans se fréquenter les uns les autres, voire en se méfiant de la façon dont les autres spécialistes traitaient la même figure. Nanine Charbonnel et George Kleiber essaient dans ce volume de faire le point à la fois sur les différents regards possibles sur cette ressource de la signification, et sur l'émergence possible d'une zone stable de "données métaphoriques", au delà de l'hétérogénéité des méthodes. A cette fin, ils donnent la parole à un éventail très riche de spécialistes sensibles aux "transferts" (metaphorai) et aux échanges que la métaphore autorise. Michel Deguy explore le "poétique" de toute pensée, à savoir, l'appartenance de la métaphore à la dimension profonde de la pensée en tant que re-présentation. C'est ce que Heidegger a montré en relisant le schématisme chez Kant: il n'y a pas de connaissance sans présentation figurative, sans imagination (Einbildungskraft) articulant la pensée sur l'être. La métaphore est comme le lieu (l'extase, la spatialisation) de la pensée, et de l'"épochalité" de la pensée. Ainsi, suggère Deguy, pouvons-nous retrouver les figures de Yethos post-moderne: la comparaison et l'être-comme, contre l'identité et l'assimilation; l'hypotypose, donnant visage à ce qui vient; le paradoxe, donnant voix au caractère multilatéral de la vérité; l'allégorie, parce que le dire est toujours "autrement dire". Nanine Charbonnel offre une sémantique de la métaphore à l'usage des philosophes. Elle envisage elle aussi la métaphore comme phénomène de la pensée, mais indique des traits spécifiques qui font la différence entre métaphore et concept: la métaphore est discours rationnel, bien que non logique; la métaphore rapproche l'hétérogène, en découvrant des ressemblances extragénériques; les éléments métaphoriques appartiennent à des régimes sémantiques différents (expressif, cogmtif, praxéologique). Charbonnel invite à repenser la Reviews 465 ressemblance métaphorique ("faire comme si cela se ressemblait sur fond d'hétérogénéité radicale"), en la soustrayant à l'univocité du conceptuel, unissant des homogènes. Patrick Tort soutient la co-appartenance primaire entre métaphore et métonymie, à l'origine des actes de pensée classificatoires. L'objectif polémique est la conception structuraliste de l'opposition binaire entre les deux opérations, comme l'avait avancée Jakobson; la démarche argumentative s'appuie sur les aspect concrets et processuels des classifications. L'intervention de George Kleiber concerne d'abord le problème de l'interprétation métaphorique: une explication en termes sémantiques de la signification d'un énoncé métaphorique n'est pas appropriée; par contre, l'interprétation métaphorique relève d'opérations d'inférence pragmatique (un énoncé comparatif n'implique pas dans son sens des traits communs entre deux individus, mais nous apprend à les chercher). Mais d'où vient une métaphore créative qui déclenche une interprétation? Kleiber en explique l'origine en termes de déviation sémantique, en faisant la différence entre les types de déviation sémantique des processus figuratifs: la métaphore ne repose pas simplement sur une incompatibilité ou contradiction sémique, mais sur l'emploi d'une catégorie lexicale pour une occurrence à laquelle normalement elle n'est pas destinée. C'est le critère qui permet de différencier la métaphore de la métonymie et de la synecdoque, et de comprendre que la catégorisation indue déclenche comme résultat direct un calcul interprétatif. Jean-Marie Klinkenberg s'interroge lui aussi sur l'origine de la métaphore, envisagée comme un processus cognitif dans lequel...

Short Reviews1 Martin Heidegger, Plato's Sophist, trans. Richard Rojcewicz and André Schuwer (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1997), xxvii + 476 pp. Reflecting on her early years as a student of philosophy at the University of Marburg, Hannah Arendt recalls how the name of a young assistant professor, Martin Heidegger, travelled across Germany like "rumours" of a "secret king". Now, with the publication of Plato's Sophist, readers of English may judge for themselves whether these lectures confirm or dispel the rumours of Heidegger as a "subterranean" king of the realms of thinking and teaching. Plato's Sophist is a faithful and readable translation of Platons Sophist, Ingeborg Schiisslers's superb reconstruction of a lecture course on the Sophist conducted by Heidegger at Marburg in the Winter semester of 1924/25 under the deceptively simple title, Interpretation Platonischer Dialog (Sophistes). Although Heidegger claims in his preliminary remarks that the phenomenological "way of seeing" follows the "pure" and "simple" way of thinking of the early Greeks, there is nothing simple about Heidegger's magisterial interpretation of the Sophist as the first radical inquiry into the question of the "meaning of Being", the guiding thread of Heidegger's own Being and Time (1927). In order to prepare the way for an understanding of the Sophist as a "scientific" dialogue, Heidegger devotes the introduction (pp. 15-155) to a detailed exposition of the doctrine of intellectual virtues set forth by Aristotle in the Nicomachean Ethics (VI, 2-6) and the Metaphysics (I, 1-2). Taking its point of departure in the Greek concept of truth (aletheia) as "unconcealedness" and "uncoveredness", chapter one argues that 1 The Editor and the Book Review Editor would like to apologize to Janet Atwill for the error in naming in the review of her book Rhetoric Reclaimed in Rhetorica, 17 (1999) p. 334. 103 RHETORICA 104 the intellectual virtues (episteme, techne, phronesis, sophia, and nous) represent different ways of "unconcealing" and uncovering the truth of Being. While chapter one exposes the "deficiency" of know-how (techne) and fabrication (poiesis) as ways of unveiling Being, the second and third chapters seek to establish the preeminence of sophia ("genuine insight") over phronesis ("circumspective insight") as the highest mode of "disclosive seeing". Here Heidegger argues that while phronesis concerns the "gravest" matters, the "shared world" (Mitwelt) of words and deeds in the city, sophia concerns the "highest" matters, the "ultimate principles" (archai) of Being, which reveal themselves only in the "silent speaking" of the solitary thinker. One of the most striking features of this remarkable "double preparation" for the Sophist—apart from the rigour, clarity, and sobriety of its argumentation—is the subtle process by which Heidegger purifies the concepts of practical and theoretical wisdom of any trace of sophistry. The translation of deliberation (bouleuesthai) as "circumspective self-debate", for example, seems to eliminate the plural dimension of deliberation for the Greeks: the deliberative assembly (boule), the forum of deliberative rhetoric (rhetorike symbouleutikos), becomes the "inner forum" of the call of conscience and the "silent dialogue" of the soul. Having surveyed the "thematic field" of the Sophist through an exposition of the modes of truth in the Nicomachean Ethics, Heidegger devotes the "main part" (pp. 157-422) of Plato's Sophist to a patient, almost line by line exegesis of the dialogue. Following the argument of the Eleatic Stranger "step by step", the first four chapters bring to light the inner coherence of the various apparitions of the sophist, arguing that all seven definitions converge on the art of disputation as the "unitary basic structure" of the techne sophistike. The excursus on Plato's "ambiguous" (zwiespaltige) attitude toward rhetoric in chapter three will doubtless hold the most interest for the historian of rhetoric. Here Heidegger argues that dialectics emerges from an "inner need" of Socratic philosophy to transcend the "idle chatter" of sophistry and its modes of "pretheoretical speech" (the rhetoric of the law courts, deliberative assemblies, and public festivals). Although Plato failed to achieve a "positive understanding" of rhetoric, Reviews 105 concludes Heidegger, his vision of a redeemed rhetoric as the leading of souls in the Phaedrus lays the foundation for the "concrete work" of Aristotle in the Rhetoric, the "first...

Reviews 113 are able to do so with a useful vocabulary, specific examples, and an assessment of the landscape of rhetorical practice that sets a new pace. Her title, then, "We Are Coming", gains increasing significance. Indeed, African American women are coming onto the rhetorical scene, and this analysis contributes greatly to our ability to take into account in interesting ways what their presence means. JACQUELINE JONES ROYSTER The Ohio State University Lynette Hunter, Critiques of Knowing: Situated Textualities in Science, Computing, and the Arts (London and New York: Routledge, 1999), vi + 239 pp. Critiques of Knowing is a disarmingly accurate title for Lynette Hunter's most recent book, a study of the relevance of rhetoric to critical theories of language in several fields. Standpoint theory, Hunter proposes, integrated with rhetorical understandings of ethos, topos, and audience, can both illuminate, and exemplify the need for a rhetorical critique of "critical and aesthetic discourses for talking about communication, textuality, and the arts" (p. 7). The discussion moves patiently and informatively through discourses about ideology and the nation state, agency, the subject, recent studies of artificial intelligence and computing, hypertext models of literary texts, "scientific" discourse studies and linguistic poetics, feminist critiques of science, and feminist aesthetics. Hunter weaves rhetoric into the methods and languages of these disciplines with subtlety and common sense; readers will find in each chapter an up to date review of current critical theory in the fields reviewed. Another major accomplishment of the study as a whole is a collateral appraisal of the languages and epistemologies, stated and unstated, that each field employs. The comparison is no easy task, particularly since the fields under scrutiny have been prominent advocates of critiquing knowledge, understood as comprehension of the "real" 114 RHETORICA by subjects capable of knowing, and of representing their knowledge in representational, informative texts. This relentless critique of knowledge and language in recent theory, Hunter asserts, has resulted in a barrage of pluralisms and relativisms, each with its own canonical ideology. Hunter teases out different versions of an "essentialist-relativist" standoff that has emerged again and again among recent ideological constructions of plurality (pp. 6-7). In characterizing many of these problems Hunter is not alone; she will find readers welcoming her positions. What makes her discussion original and especially valuable is the way in which she brings to this impasse several richly drawn definitions of rhetoric. Because of its historical and conceptual self awareness as "inexorably different to the real world" in any literal or scientific sense, rhetoric can help construct an analysis of stance which will position the discourses of the disciplines historically, politically, and socially (p. 6). The prospect that rhetoric may be able to integrate and amplify a number of critical discourses about language that are currently bogged down in confessing their own impossibility and meaninglessness is a welcome vision. Hunter's exposition of the ethical and epistemological adjustments rhetoric could provide to contemporary critical discourses is also an anatomy of the past and present wealth that resides in rhetorical studies that continue to be marginalized by so many fields. The chapters are arranged by discipline: contemporary studies of the ideologies of nation-states, studies of artificial intelligence and computing applications within the humanities, hypertext methodologies, feminist critiques of science, and feminist critiques of aesthetics. Hunter's analysis establishes an important parallelism: a lack of rhetorical self awareness has hampered the discussion of the subject and of agency, of intelligence and knowledge, of the ethics of critical discourses visa -vis their contexts and audiences. Hunter defines her overall goal as "a critique of critical and aesthetic discourses for talking about communication, textuality, and the arts" (p. 7). The essentialistrelativist standoff that Hunter seeks to redress has locked many branches of discourse studies, including linguistics, artificial intelligence, computing, rhetoric and poetics, into methodologies that, somewhat oddly, base social and political tolerance for all Reviews 115 discursive practices upon scientific models of neutral description and quantitative analysis. Somehow, according to many of these models, discourses are produced by "the culture" or by "language". Alternatively, we find accusations of "essentialism" or "enlightenment humanism" hurled at any and all references to the subject, to agency, to an ethnic...

120 RHETORICA Rhétorique et image. Textes en hommage à Â. Kïbédi Varga, ed. Léo H. Hoek and Kees Meerhoff (Amsterdam: Rodopi, 1995), 318 pp. The subject of this book has been aptly chosen: it echoes and honours Kibédi Varga's published work on visual rhetoric and narratology (for example, Rhétorique et littérature and Discours, récit, image, as well as numerous articles—the bibliography of his works in French, German, English, Dutch, and Hungarian runs to twenty packed pages); it also reflects his founding of the Association for Word and Image Studies ten years ago. Rhétorique et image ranges widely over several disciplines and yet it has a unity of theme and purpose. It is both illuminating and open-ended, refreshingly undogmatic and tentative, and thus, paradoxically perhaps, goes some way towards defining a methodology. Some of the writers here allude to the evolution of their subject and apply the ancient topoi in a modem context. What is new in this book is the narrowing down of the subject to the place of rhetoric in word and image studies. There are four sections: "Reflexions interarts," "Reflexions rhé­ toriques," "Echanges," and "Reflets: fins de siècle," necessarily overlap­ ping, but providing a useful focus. The academic papers are framed and enhanced by a previously unpublished introductory poem, "Un retour à San Biagio," by Yves Bonnefoy, and another closing poem by Salah Stétie, "Fièvre et Guérison de lTcône." Sorin Alexandrescu starts from a photograph taken by the author, of bottles and glasses on a table, and analyses the limits of meaning such an unposed photograph may have. While not representing action, it contains a "récit," presupposing past action and implying a future; but if it is to have meaning, some external information (title, supporting text, context) is necessary to "narrativise" it. Elrud Ibsch gives a very critical account of Charles Jencks' The Language of Post-Modern Architecture, rejecting his idea that this architecture is distinguished from modernist architecture by its semantic richness and its power of communication. His theory of build­ ings as metaphors (in relation to other buildings) is also found wanting because of the confusion over whether the metaphor lies in the observer, the building, or the architect, Ibsch concludes that Jencks' method is that of a critic, who may therefore be allowed personal judgments and a depar­ ture from impartiality, but it is not helpful to historians of literature or architecture. David Scott addresses squarely the rhetoric of images through the example of Dutch postage-stamps of the last forty years, a Reviews 121 particularly beautiful series of typographic and commemorative stamps designed by leading graphic artists.
