  • English 509: Seminar in Classical Rhetoric: Rhetoric Under Empire Fall 2014 Avery 110 Tursdays 2:50–5:30 Dr
    English 509: Seminar in Classical Rhetoric: Rhetoric Under Empire Fall 2014 Avery 110 Tursdays 2:50–5:30 Dr. Mike Edwards [email protected] Figure 1: Fasces and fowers. Force and signifcation. Ratio et elocutio. Te closed fst and the open hand. Empire and rhetoric. Classical rhetoric, when engaged carefully, is amazing. It’s got power, lust, avarice, slander, philosophy, adultery, treason, ethics, invective, murder, scandal, and redemption. It’s also easy to represent poorly, perhaps most often as a loose collection of backward theories from a couple thousand years ago. My goal is to investigate, with you, classical rhetoric in its material practice: as something smart people did and lived. Tis seminar uses the concept of empire as a way to investigate the problematic notion of a Western-oriented classical rhetorical tradition and canon. While rhetorics ostensibly rely on persuasion, they are often sustained or advanced by unequal relations of imperial power and domination, and this seminar proposes that those unequal relations of power merit investigation: the rhetorical tradition does not exist outside of politics or materiality. For those reasons, this seminar investigates texts from the classical rhetorical tradition in their historical and material contexts, offering participants a thorough familiarity with those texts while at the same time asking participants to complicate the long-held notion of traditional rhetorical canonicity. Tis syllabus is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 license. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ Learning Outcomes: • Seminar participants will build familiarity with important texts and theories from the history of classical rhetoric, and their contributions to the history of rhetorical study and contested notions of a classical tradition or canon.

  • Thesis Draft 3.23.2014.Docx
    Cicero and Caesar: A Turbulent Amicitia by Adam L. Parison June, 2014 Director of Thesis/Dissertation: Dr. Frank E. Romer Major Department: History Though some study into the relationship between Cicero and Caesar has occurred, it is relatively little and the subject warrants more consideration. This is a significant gap in the historiography of late republican history. This thesis examines and attempts to define their relationship as a public amicitia. By looking at the letters of Cicero, his three Caesarian speeches, and his philosophical dialogue de Amicitia, I show that the amicitia between these two men was formed and maintained as a working relationship for their own political benefit, as each had something to gain from the other. Cicero’s extant letters encompass a little more than the last twenty years of Cicero’s life, when some of the most important events in Roman history were occurring. In this thesis, I examine selected letters from three collections, ad Quintum fratrem, ad Familiares, and ad Atticum for clues relating to Caesar’s amicitia with Cicero. These letters reveal the tumultuous path that the amicitia between Cicero and Caesar took over the years of the mid-50s until Caesar’s death, and , surprisingly, show Cicero’s inability to choose a side during the Civil War and feel confident in that choice. After Caesar’s victory at Pharsalus in 48, the letters reveal that Cicero hoped that Caesar could or would restore the republic, and that as time passed, he became less optimistic about Caesar and his government, but still maintained the public face of amicitia with Caesar.

    Haec Templa: Religion in Cicero’s Orations A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY NICHOLAS ROBERT WAGNER IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Spencer Cole April 2019 © NICHOLAS WAGNER 2019 Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my advisor, Spencer Cole, who provided helpful feedback and recommendations throughout the entire process of this dissertation and deserves singular acknowledgement. The project originated with a 2013 course on Roman religion. That, along with numerous meetings and emails, has been fundamental to my approach to the subject. I would also like to thank my other committee members, Christopher Nappa, Andrew Gallia, and Richard Graff, all of whom provided immensely useful feedback at various stages, both in the scope of the project and future directions to train my attention. Next, thanks are due to the faculty and the graduate students in the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Studies at the University of Minnesota. Their support over the years has been invaluable, both academically and socially. Special thanks are due to current student Joshua Reno and former student Rachael Cullick. Lunches with them, where they patiently heard my ideas in its earliest stages, will be ever-cherished. Finally, I would like to thank my parents and siblings for their endless support over the years. Sometimes a nice meal or a break at the movies is exactly what was needed. i Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my parents and their parents. ii Table of Contents Introduction ....................................................................................................................... 1 Cicero and Lived Religion ........................................................................................................

No distinction is drawn between ‘philo- sophy’ and ‘rhetoric’ or between works written before and after the water- shed of the Civil War and the period of Cicero’s active participation in that conflict. De re publica – which he describes as written when he held gubernacula rei publicae – is included in the list after the trio of De natura deorum, De divinatione itself and the prospective De fato; and, invoking the practice of Aristotle and Theophrastus, his oratorii libri, including De oratore alongside Orator and Brutus, are given at the end of the catalogue.

  • The Natural Freedom of the Human Person and the Rule of Law in the Perspective of the Classical Roman Legal Theory
    THE TULANE EUROPEAN AND CIVIL LAW FORUM VOLUME 26 2011 The Natural Freedom of the Human Person and the Rule of Law in the Perspective of the Classical Roman Legal Theory Okko Behrends1 The purpose of this Article is to seek a better understanding of the place that the individual occupied in classical Roman law. In particular, I would like to consider this issue from the perspective of the technical term “persona” which was, as we all know, outstandingly successful in western legal culture. I shall start with a famous definition: “Libertas est naturalis facultas eius quod cuiusque facere libet.” 2 In English: “Freedom is one’s natural power of doing what one pleases,” or “Liberty denotes a man’s natural ability to do what he wants.” Both translations, the first from the late Neil MacCormick,3 the other from the late Peter Birks,4 point out correctly that this freedom or liberty is something natural, present in every human person. No inherent restriction is added in the definition. 1. Professor Emeritus of Roman Law, German Private Law and the History of Civil Law at the Institute of Legal History, Legal Philosophy and Comparative Law at Göttingen University. This Article was written as a contribution to the “International Forum of Civil Law” convened under the theme of Protection of Personality Rights, “Legal Protection of Personality Rights: Historical Foundation, Contemporary Development and Challenges,” October 14th-16th, 2010, in Suzhou and Shanghai, China.
