…. und oberirdisch zwei Säulen des Dioskurentempels. Hier wurden früher die mythischen Zwillinge Castor und Pollux verehrt. Die beiden antiken Säulen mit ihren korinthischen Kapitellen sind heute der Teil der Kirche San Paolo Maggiore. #Classics #AntikeKultur #Napoli

Eindrücke von gestern - #TeamCampania ist unter die Erde gestiegen, um das antike Neapel zu erkunden. Und es gab einiges zu sehen: der alte Marktplatz (macellum), das Aquädukt, das Theater …

Nachdem #TeamCampania gestern die Bronzestatuen aus der Villa dei Papyri im @MANNapoli bewundern durfte, gab es heute einen einzigartigen Einblick in die Arbeit mit den namensgebenden Papyri. Vielen Dank an die tollen Kolleg:innen von der @BibNazNapoli! #AntikeKultur #Classics

Alongside logical argumentation (#logos) and emotional appeal (#pathos), recourse to #ethos can persuade a sceptical audience. If you're wondering now how to achieve #ethos and appear credible, Aristotle would suggest becoming wise, virtuous, and benevolent.#rhet101 #ISHRBootCamp

produced by their reputation and/or their rhetorical performance. If a speaker is an expert in their field, has a high position of authority, or appears to share the same values of their audience, they will be able to impress their listeners with their #ethos. [2/3]

When we tell you about the #basics of #rhetoric, we might argue: "You know us, so you know that our posts about #rhetoric are credible." That's basically what it means when someone talks about #ethos—“character". #Ethos refers to the credibility of the speaker, [1/3]

than in front of a group of eager students. All in all, pathos is a fierce, acute and temporary movement of the soul, which should be distinguished from #ethos as a milder, longer-term disposition of character. We will talk about this next week. (3/3) #rhet101 #ISHRBootCamp

that is emotionally engaging in itself (content-based #pathos) or by evoking emotions through our own performance (expressive #pathos). And, of course, #pathos is closely related to context. A passionate speech at our local coffee shop might be perceived differently (2/3)

#basics of #rhetoric: it is not only #logos that is important to persuade, but also #pathos, the emotional appeal to our audience. #Pathos is not irrational emotional excitement; it should be a purposeful process. We can create #pathos either by talking about a subject (1/3)

inductive or deductive reasoning.Because of the logical conclusions drawn by the speaker, #logos is valid for any rational listener. But see, that's the problem: often, #logos on its own isn't enough to persuade. So see you next week for #pathos! [3/3] #rhet101 #ISHRBootCamp

of the speaker). We begin with #logos, understood in its rhetorical sense. #Logos refers to the logical structure and rational appeal of an argument. Examples of #logos include appeals to facts and evidence, examples, citations of sources and statistics, and the use of [2/3]

Next on the list for the #basics of #rhetoric is the so-called “rhetorical triangle”. In his rhetorical manual, Aristotle identified three modes of persuasion:#logos (reason or argument), #pathos (emotional appeal) and #ethos (reference to the status and authority [1/3]

Although #decorum is a guiding concept of rhetoric, it can be quite fluid. Where do the value systems of speaker and #audience differ? Do speaker and audience have a shared value system at all? The answer is always a balancing act. (3/3) #rhet101 #ISHRBootCamp #teamrhetoric

What is appropriate for an audience in a social, cultural, ethical and aesthetic context? What are they accustomed to? These questions are worth considering if you want to be persuasive. A good speaker knows their #audience and tailors their speech to their expectations. (2/3)

The same picture can look very different in different frames. This is also true of speech. In rhetorical terms, we call the frame #decorum. Broadly speaking, #decorum describes the local preconditions of your rhetorical act. (1/3)
