This work of research aims to elucidate the structure and meaning of the "Quixotic rhetoric", that is, persistent patterns in the protagonist's delivery of discourses. Through a close reading of select episodes in the novel, the study explores their style, structure, with a particular attention devoted both to their connections to the rhetorical thought of Renaissance Spain and departures from the rhetorical tenets of the time. This thesis is focused on the following questions: 1) How exactly do Don Quixote's discourses function (and/or fail to function)? What are the mechanisms used by Cervantes to create an impression of the protagonist's rhetorical competence (or lack thereof)? How do the audience's reaction, narrator's comments, and further developments show that a particular speech is effective (ineffective)? Are there any discernible patterns in Don Quixote's discourses that consistently lead him to rhetorical triumph or failure? 2) How does Don Quixote depart from the rhetorical rules and expectations of the Spanish Golden Age? What do the subject and style of his discourses have in common with the rhetorical thought of of his day, and 'specialised' forms of rhetoric in particular (forensic, courtly, religious, etc.)? How does moving beyond the typical confines of rhetorical discourse affect the audience's (and the reader's) perception? 3) To what extent does the nature of Don Quixote as a work of fiction, and a putative originator of the novelistic genre, affect its representation of rhetorical discourse? Is the mad hidalgo's mishandling of rhetorical rules a satire of rhetoric as a whole? What is the meaning of the protagonist's use (and misuse) of rhetoric for the relationship between rhetoric and the novel?

Mon étude a pour objet la dimension persuasive qui est présente au sein de l’historiographie ancienne et qui est au cœur de nombreuses discussions sur la nature de l’histoire dans l’Antiquité. Au travers de lectures comparées d’une série d’extraits parallèles tirés des œuvres de l’historien grec Polybe (± 208 - ± 126 avant J.-C.) et de l’historien latin Tite-Live (64 ou 59 avant J.-C. - 17 après J.-C.), en s’appuyant sur les théories anciennes et contemporaines de la rhétorique, ma recherche permet de mieux comprendre comment l’historien ancien exploite les ressources de l’argumentation pour rendre son propos crédible et vraisemblable, mais aussi pour orienter la vision du lecteur et le faire adhérer à certaines conclusions. <p> / Doctorat en Langues et lettres / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Text in German / Diese Studie untersucht den so genannten “antiochenischen Zwischenfall” (Gal 2:11-14) im Blick auf die Geschichte des Urchristentums und das Verhältnis zwischen Paulus und Petrus. Eingeleitet von einem Forschungsüberblick, konzentriert sich die Studie auf die exegetische Untersuchung von Gal 2:11-14 mit dem Ziel, den Konflikt zwischen Paulus und Petrus in seiner Ursache, seinem konkreten Verlauf und den daraus resultierenden Konsequenzen für die Entwicklung des Frühchristentums neu zu bewerten. Neben dem Kontext und der rhetorischen Funktion von Gal 2:11-14, findet dabei der Vergleich zwischen der paulinischen Schilderung und Bewertung des antiochenischen Zwischenfalls und der Darstellung der Entwicklung des Urchristentums der Apostelgeschichte besondere Beachtung. Dadurch soll die auf F. C. Baur zurückgehende und bis in die Gegenwart einflussreiche Rekonstruktion des Urchristentums als zweigeteilte und theologisch gegensätzliche Bewegung kritisch hinterfragt und Alternativen aufgezeigt werden. / This thesis examines the so called “Antiochene Incident” (Gal 2:11-14) as it relates to the proclamation of Christ in early Christianity and the relationship between Paul and Peter. After a broad survey of research, the thesis focuses on the exegetical study of Galatians 2:11-14 with the goal of analyzing the encounter between Paul and Peter in its cause, its detailed course and the resulting consequences for the development of early Christianity. In addition to the context and the rhetorical function of Gal 2:11-14, we compare Paul's description and assessment of the Antioch incident and the portrayal of the history of early Christianity in the book of Acts. In doing so, we critically question the reconstruction of early Christianity by F. C. Baur as a divided theological movement which has influenced theology to this day and offer alternatives to that view. / New Testament / M. Th. (New Testament)
