  1. On my way to #Cambridge now for our next workshop on the #RhetoricoftheUnknown, assembled and organised by @giulia_malta and @LeaNiccolai. Travelling by train this time, just out of Frankfurt, next stop: Bruxelles #rhetodons #antiquidons

  2. Today, on short notice, we can announce an extra guest lecture in our summer program:

    On Wed, June 14th, 4-6 pm, Prof. Michele Kennerly (@mjkennerly) from Penn State will bring #AthenianDemocracy into dialogue with the age of #Cyberculture in her talk on "Living Well in Cybercultural Eutopia". Join us in RW 2 (ReWi/Haus Recht und Wirtschaft I)!

    “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

  4. "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)

  6. @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

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
