M.A. (Communication) / The two research questions explored in this study are: a) What is the potential effectiveness of Mandela's rhetorical choices in the light of the primary and media audiences and the situation, in the selected speeches and visual material? b) What rhetorical shifts occurred in the speeches delivered between 1990 and 1994? In view of the fact that this study is political in nature and falls within the parameters of political communication, the field of political communication as it relates to rhetoric and public speaking specifically, was discussed. The nucleus of Aristotle's theory of rhetoric was discussed in conjunction with modern theories and research, with the purpose of establishing theoretical grounds for effective political oratory. To explore the two research questions, the neo-Aristotelian model of rhetorical criticism was utilised. By using this model it was possible to measure the effectiveness or potential effectiveness of Nelson Mandela's choice of strategy in the series of speeches and visual material selected. The model also prescribes a methodology whereby the important variables in political oratory are measured, including language, the credibility of the speaker, emotional strategies, logical argumentation, organisation and nonverbal behaviour. For purposes of evaluation the model prescribes an ideal model of persuasion. The ancient and modern rhetorical theory discussed in the study was utilised to construct standards by which Mandela's speeches were evaluated. The model also enabled the critic to focus on the speaker, Nelson Mandela and his political messages, while considering the rhetorical transaction, including the audiences and situation as a whole. The primary audience considered in this study consists of the mainly black supporters of the ANC who received Mandela's political messages at mass rallies. It was determined that this audience had a positive orientation towards the speaker, his messages and the ANC. Important national media audiences were also fsolated and include Whites, Indians, Coloureds, the IFP and the PAC. These audiences maintained a more negative orientation towards the speaker, his messages and the ANC. The international community in general was also considered.

Apresenta-se tradução do Orator de Cícero precedida de estudo. Propõe-se que, quando confrontado com a maledicência dos que se dizem áticos, Cícero remete a controvérsia particular à questão acerca do gênero universal, ou thésis, tratando do gênero para responder às partes e tratando da coisa para responder aos homens. Por tratar-se de coisas, recorre-se em geral à doutrina das coisas, isto é, à filosofia, e em particular a duas de suas artes, a tópica e a dialética. Analisa-se portanto o método dialético e tópico empregado pelo autor para resolver a questão acerca do melhor gênero do discursar. Argumenta-se que Cícero compara as espécies do discurso entre si e define a forma do orador perfeito para exprimir a sua imagem, imagem que servirá de critério para julgar, conforme a maior ou menor semelhança em relação a ela, os oradores que vemos e ouvimos. / I present the reader with a translation into Portuguese of Ciceros Orator with introduction. I propose that, when confronted with the invectives of the so-called Attics, Cicero sends back this controversy to the question about the universal kind, or thésis, speaking about the genus in order to give a response to the parts, and speaking about things to give a response to men. Because Cicero speaks about things, he employs the doctrine of things, i.e. Philosophy, making use of two of its arts, Topics and Dialectics. I analyse therefore the topical and dialectical method the author applies to solve the question about the best kind of speech. I argue that Cicero applies this method to compare the species of speech and to define the form of the perfect orator so that he may express its image, a image that will be used as a criterion to judge, in proportion to their likeness to it, the orators we can see and hear.

Este trabalho é uma tradução de dois excertos de dois tratados retóricos que tratam do uso do riso na oratória: um deles situado entre os parágrafos 216 e 291 do livro II de De oratore de Marco Túlio Cícero, chamado De ridiculis, e o outro, um capítulo todo, o terceiro, do livro VI da Institutio Oratoria de Marco Fábio Quintiliano, denominado De risu, com comentários sobre os aspectos da utilização do riso no discurso oratório, a relação estabelecida entre os dois textos e os itens acolhidos por Quintiliano em De risu do texto de De ridiculis, de Cícero / This work is composed by a translation of two excerpts of two essays on Rhetorics that focus the laughter in oratory: one of them is located from the paragraph 216 to the paragraph 291 of De oratores book II by Marcus Tullius Cicero, untitled De ridiculis; and the other one, a whole chapter, the third of the book VI of Institutio oratoria by Marcus Fabius Quintilianus, untitled De risu, with comments on the aspects of the laughter use in oratorical discourse, the relations between the two texts, and the items from Cicero\'s De ridiculis utilized by Quintilian in De risu

Initially, we defend the hypothesis that the sermon can be seen as an archaic, tiring and inefficient speech, also poor in communicative elements, mainly in aspects of oratory.The scientific methodology was developed with base in a holistic, qualitative and quantitative perspective. We verified, through the investigation that the homily is still space for construction and re-construction of ethos and world vision. The priest s speech during the homily is still considered effective for great part of the lay members; however, for the priests this efficacy is relative; it depends on a series of factors. These factors will be evidenced in the first chapter, in which we will demonstrate the epistemological categories that appeared in the empiric research. We will verify that the religion has an enormous persuasive power through their symbols, rites and ideologies. In the second chapter, we will know the homily through the eye of the Apostolic Roman Catholic Church. In the third chapter, we will show the phenomenon of the communication and their interfaces: from the language to the aesthetics of the public speaking. In the conclusion, we will demonstrate some aspects that justify the non corroboration of our hypothesis. We explain that the symbolic power is the key word so that the homiletic speech is considered effective on the part of the followers that legitimate it for the faith. / Pelo olhar dos leigos, padres, e pesquisadores em comunicação, liturgia e homilia, buscaremos apresentar subsídios sobre a relação entre homilia, comunicação e religião. Inicialmente defendemos a hipótese de que o discurso homilético é visto como uma fala retrógrada, cansativa e ineficaz, pobre em elementos de natureza comunicativa, principalmente nos aspectos da oratória. A metodologia científica foi desenvolvida com base em um olhar holístico, qualitativo e quantitativo e constatamos, na investigação que a homilia ainda é espaço de construção e re-construção de ethos e visão de mundo. O discurso do padre durante a homilia ainda é considerado eficaz por grande parte dos leigos e na visão dos padres essa eficácia é relativa, depende de uma série de fatores, fato que será evidenciado no primeiro capítulo, no qual demonstraremos as categorias epistemológicas que surgiram na pesquisa empírica. Verificaremos que a religião exerce um enorme poder de persuasão por meio de seus símbolos, ritos e ideologias. No segundo capítulo, conheceremos a homilia sob a ótica da igreja católica apostólica romana e, no terceiro, mostraremos o fenômeno da comunicação e suas interfaces: desde a linguagem até a estética da oratória. Na conclusão demonstraremos alguns aspectos que justificam a não corroboração da nossa hipótese, esclarecendo que o poder simbólico é a palavra-chave para que o discurso homilético seja considerado eficaz por parte dos fiéis que o legitimam pela fé.

This dissertation is an ethnographic study of institutional politics in postcolonial societies, in this case, contemporary Mali. It examines the ways in which transitions to democracy have transformed everyday politics not only through the creation of new institutional arrangements, but through the promotion of new understandings of social and political authority. In particular, this research examines the expectations that democratic institutions place on political deliberation and public speech, as well as the multiple ways in which democratic political speech has failed to fulfill those expectations. To address these questions, it combines Linguistic and Political Anthropology in the analysis of everyday discussions that took place in institutions of political representation in contemporary Mali—from the National Assembly to local councils and party meetings. This linguistic evidence was collected during fifteen months of fieldwork in Bamako and Kita, Mali, in 2010, 2011, and 2012. Each chapter is centered on one of the various categories that mediate the relationship between political speech and action—such as authority, representation, and intention. My analyses of discursive patterns within the specific political context of Mali lays bare an oscillation between a serious engagement with democratic political discussion on the one hand, and its rejection through expressions of suspicion and disbelief on the other. Drawing on J. L. Austin’s speech act theory, I argue that democratic political speech suffers “infelicity,” or a recurrent difficulty in authenticating formal political speech and investing it with added performative force.

The purpose of this dissertation is to present the circumstances that involved the composition of the Messiah Oratory and to explain how these circumstances influenced it. We are based in an intense research work consulting several bibliographical sources and versions of the oratory, whose objective was to present an opinion based on authors that are referential in the subject. We present succinctly the phases of Händel's life, trying to show the main facts and how they influenced him in the composition of the Messiah. We also clearly portray the pretensions of Charles Jennens in his selection of the text for the Oratory. We include in the appendix the first part of the Messiah that will help in understanding the dissertation presented here, corroborating the truth of the facts presented in it. Finally, we conclude at the end of the dissertation that the Messiah Oratory is the best known of humanity, making its presentation a tradition at Easter, Christmas and other events that so require. With this, he became a patrimony of humanity for those who enjoy classical music. / Esta dissertação apresenta uma proposta de estudo sobre o gênero oratória, tendo Händel como um dos seus compositores principais e sua prática no período Barroco na Inglaterra em especial na cidade de Londres. O objetivo desta dissertação é apresentar as circunstâncias que envolveram a composição do Oratório Messias e explicitar como essas circunstancias o influenciaram. Embasamo-nos em um intenso trabalho de pesquisa consultando diversas fontes bibliográficas e versões do oratório, cujo objetivo foi de apresentar opinião embasada em autores que são referenciais no assunto. Apresentamos de forma sucinta, as fases da vida de Händel, procurando mostrar os principais fatos e como estes o influenciaram na composição do Messias. Retratamos também de forma clara as pretensões de Charles Jennens na seleção que ele fez do texto para o Oratório. Incluímos no apêndice, a primeira parte do Messias que irá ajudar na compreensão da dissertação aqui apresentada, corroborando para a veracidade dos fatos nela apresentados. Por fim, concluímos ao final da dissertação que o Oratório Messias é o mais conhecido da humanidade, tornando sua apresentação uma tradição na época da Páscoa, Natal e outros eventos que assim o requeiram. Com isto, ele se tornou um patrimônio da humanidade para quem aprecia musica clássica.

Tradução e estudo do discurso \"Contra Timarco\", de Ésquines. O estudo se concentra na condição tríplice do texto, como discurso jurídico, retrato do comportamento sexual masculino da Atenas do Período Clássico e exemplo da recepção primitiva da obra homérica em uma situação distante do contexto dos festivais e simpósios. / Translation and study of the speech \"Against Timarchos\", by Aeschines. The analysis focus on the trifold condition of the text, as a juridical speech, a portrait of the male sexual behavior in Classic Athens and an example of early reception of Homer\'s poetry, in a condition that differs from festivals and symposiums.

No dia 08 de abril de 52 a. C, quase três anos depois de terminar sua mais completa obra retórica, De oratore, Cícero retorna a sua atividade nos tribunais. Diante da aparência inusitada do fórum, cercado pela guarnição armada de Pompeu e lotado de um público hostil, o Arpinate comparece para defender o amigo e tribuno Tito Ânio Milão, acusado de assassinar o rival político Públio Clódio Pulcro. Fontes antigas atestam que, prejudicado por fatores externos, Cícero não se teria apresentado nesse dia com a costumeira efetividade. Embora não tenha vencido essa causa, a versão que mais tarde publicou do discurso em defesa de Milão, Pro Milone, tornou-se referência no âmbito da retórica judiciária e é considerado por muitos estudiosos uma obra prima do gênero. Nesta dissertação, apresentamos uma tradução anotada desse discurso em português, acompanhada de um estudo do respectivo processo de invenção (inventio): descoberta e exame das estratégias, argumentos e linhas de defesa destinados a persuadir. Estruturamos a tratativa da invenção de acordo com as divisões que Cícero estabelece para essa parte da retórica, ou seja, conforme os três modos de influenciar a mente dos ouvintes: docere (instruir), conciliare (cativar) e movere (comover) (cf. De orat. II, 115). Apoiando-nos fundamentalmente nas teorias expostas no De oratore, mas também em outras fontes antigas e modernas, procuramos identificar e descrever as estratégias retóricas empregadas no Pro Milone para dar conta de cada um desses meios de persuasão. / On April 8th, 52 B.C., nearly three years after finishing his most complete rhetorical work, De oratore, Cicero resumed his duties in the courts. Against the forums extraordinary backdrop, surrounded by the armed garrison of Pompeii and packed with a hostile audience, the Arpinate appeared there to defend his friend and tribune Titus Annius Milo, accused of assassinating rival politician Publius Clodius Pulcher. Ancient sources indicate that Cicero, undermined by external factors, did not exhibit his customary effectiveness on that day. Although he did not win the case, the subsequently published version of the speech in defense of Milo, Pro Milone, became a benchmark in legal rhetoric, deemed by many scholars to be a masterpiece of the genre. In this dissertation, we present an annotated Portuguese translation of the speech, accompanied by a study of the respective invention (inventio) process: discovery and examination of strategies, arguments and lines of defense intended to persuade. We have structured our discussion of invention according to Ciceros distinctions for this part of rhetoric, or rather, according to the three methods of influencing the listeners mind: docere (instruct), conciliare (win over) and movere (stir) (cf. De orat. II, 115). Drawing essential support from the theories set forth in De oratore, as well as from other ancient and modern sources, we seek to identify and describe the rhetorical strategies used in Pro Milone in order to account for each of these means of persuasion.
