Rhetoric and Poetics

Authors

Belmiro Pereira & Marta Várzeas

Synopsis

The formalized and effective use of logos is the main point of intersection of two ancient arts that, like so many others, originated in Ancient Greece - Poetics and Rhetoric. This volume brings together a set of articles on the relationship between these two arts, authored by specialists from different areas of knowledge: Classical Studies, Philosophy and Portuguese Literature. The articles cover a wide span of time, from antiquity to the XXIst Century, and address theoretical questions, such as those related to certain concepts - climax, sublime, or even hermeneutics, rhetoric and poetics -; and other practical ones, which consist of the analysis of literary texts in the light of some aspects of rhetorical theorization.
