UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the Ethics and Politics of Style in Latin Rhetorical Invective a Dissertation Submitted In UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Ethics and Politics of Style in Latin Rhetorical Invective A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Classics by Nathan Kish 2018 © Copyright by Nathan Kish 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Ethics and Politics of Style in Latin Rhetorical Invective by Nathan Kish Doctor of Philosophy in Classics University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Amy Ellen Richlin, Chair This study investigates how literary battles fought over rhetorical style in ancient Rome and in the Renaissance concerned far more than style. Rather, the invective deployed in such disputes emerged in direct response to important sociopolitical changes and presented speakers and writers with a means to define and control the ethical and political boundaries of their societies. The six chapters within explore this idea in Roman rhetorical theory and in the works of Cicero, Seneca the Elder, and Poggio Bracciolini. While the “Republic of Letters” familiar from the study of Early Modernity did not exist in ancient Rome, the term describes what happened when the traditional civic functions of oratory declined in the transition from Republic to Principate: writers attributed greater meaning to rhetorical style in itself. As eloquentia retreated from the Forum and the political assemblies to the study and the schoolroom, writers constructed their own identities through their style, and ii engaged in stylistic polemics in order to attack personal enemies and ethical and political systems. Ultimately, this practice has its origins in the belief that speech reveals character. Chapters 1 and 2 lay the foundation for the later chapters, as Chapter 1 reviews discussions of invective in ancient Latin rhetorical treatises, and Chapter 2 considers the understanding that speech corresponds to character: talis oratio, qualis vita. Chapters 3 and 4 cover works Cicero composed after the outbreak of the Civil War: Chapter 3 investigates Cicero’s polemical defense of his own style and attack on the Neo- Atticists in the Orator (46 BC); Chapter 4 takes up the Second Philippic (44 BC), which, besides smearing Antony’s morals and lambasting his oratorical blunders, serves as a meditation on the metaphorical violence of invective. Chapter 5 examines the elder Seneca’s attitude towards the effect of style on morals and the effect of politics on oratory in his anthology of school practice speeches. Chapter 6, a prolegomenon to further study, considers Poggio’s complex relationship to foul language: while Poggio utters strictures against obscenity in his letters, he embraces it in his own invectives, attacking Francesco Filelfo obscenely for his obscene poetry. iii The dissertation of Nathan Kish is approved.

My greatest intellectually is to Amy Richlin. Looking back, I realize this dissertation was born on 1 April 2010, between 11:00 am and 12:45 pm, when she introduced me to Tacitus’ Dialogus in her survey class on Latin literature. Since I first entered her classroom as a post-baccalaureate student, she has been the most invested and good-humored mentor I could hope for. Over her career she has redefined the field of Classics; if I have managed to acquire but only a small share of her ability to bring neglected topics to life and to inspire students, my own career will be a success. To the other members of my committee, Bob Gurval, David Blank, and Debora Shuger, I owe incalculable thanks for years of scholarly guidance, generosity, and—not least—perseverance. As Dr. Johnson wrote in regard to Paradise Lost, “None ever wished it longer.” As for the rest of the UCLA Classics Department both past and present, I can acknowledge pivotal scholarly debts to Kathryn Morgan and Shane Butler for introducing me to oratory and Cicero respectively, but countless debts of a more general nature to all for warm support and intellectual stimulation throughout the years. And certainly not least, special thanks are due to Bob von Hallberg, who, as a student in an intensive summer Latin course, shaped the course of this dissertation by a few insightful and illuminating comments on Suet. Rhet. 22.2. Although M. Pomponius Porcellus, immortalized for speaking truth to power, does not himself reappear in the pages that follow, his words remain an inspiration throughout. My writing group friends, Audrey Harris, Kathy Carbone, and Melissa Goodnight, have helped me become a better writer and a better thinker. Our meetings somehow enable me to take a break and work diligently at the same time. I owe much to Bill McCrary for encouragement, friendship, and discussion of issues both large and small. It was truly a glorious moment in one of our conversations at the now demolished Norm’s on Pico Boulevard that the mists in my mind were suddenly dispelled and I was able for the first time to articulate my dissertation topic. To Meghan Krantz I owe the dearest thanks for years of patient, selfless support and memories that will never fade. Sharing with you the many milestones along the way lightened the journey considerably. My greatest debts are to my family. I thank you all for your unflagging support. To my dad I owe my ability for hard, earnest work as well as my good humor, both of which were required in abundance. I heartily wish he could see me finish what his lifetime of hard work made possible. This dissertation is a record of yet another way he brought smiles and laughter into the world. And without my mom—who has shown unconditional love in the course of this long voyage and who might be the only person who finds greater relief in its completion than the voyager himself—I could not have reached the harbor. And now that I have you can take a breath. vii VITA Nathan Kish Education M.A., Classics, University of California, Los Angeles 2012 Post-Baccalaureate Certificate, Classics, University of California, Los Angeles 2009 B.A., English Literature, Lawrence University 2006 Conference Presentations “Latinity and Obscenity in the Invectives of Poggio Bracciolini” March 2018 Renaissance Society of America, Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA “Novum genus disciplinae: Novelty and Alterity

  • Incurable Psychopaths?
    Incurable Psychopaths? Marianne Kristiansson, MD Treatment, comprising pharmacotherapy and an educational program based on cognitive behavior therapy, of four psychopathic, criminal men fulfilling the crite- ria for borderline personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder is de- scribed. The diagnoses were made during a forensic psychiatric evaluation. An estimation of the capacity of the central serotonergic system was performed by analysing the platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity. The pharmacotherapy was combined with an educational program involving strategies for developing better impulse control. All four men had earlier been regarded as resistant to conventional therapy. In the present cases, a combined psychosocial and biolog- ical approach seemed to be effective in developing an increased control of im- pulses, leading to improved coping strategies. Controlled studies are needed in order to clarify whether the described treatment program proves beneficial. Psychopathy, as originally described by personality disorder according to DSM- Cleckley,' comprises a set of clinical 111-R.~ characteristics including superficial The possibility of curing or even trying charm, unreliability, untruthfulness, lack to treat criminal psychopathic individuals of remorse or shame, failure to learn by is often looked upon as futile.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Overview Within the psychological literature, the self-conscious emotion of shame is proving to be an area of growing interest. This thesis addresses the application of this emotion, as well as self and social evaluative processes, to our understanding of offenders, specifically those high in psychopathic traits. Part 1 reviews the literature concerning emotionality within psychopathy, in order to assess the capabilities, as well as the deficits that people with psychopathic traits demonstrate. Emotions classified as ‘moral’ or ‘self-conscious’, namely empathy, sympathy, guilt, remorse, shame, embarrassment and pride, are investigated. From the review it is clear that psychopaths are not the truly unemotional individuals that they are commonly portrayed as being, but instead experience many emotions to varying degrees. This paper concludes by highlighting possible areas for further exploration and research.

  • Performance and Rhetoric in Cicero's Philippics * in Recent Years, the Idea Of
    Performance and Rhetoric in Cicero's Philippics * In recent years, the idea of 'performance' has become a more and more important concept for the analysis of literary texts, even if the notion of 'performance' in literary criticism still does not denote a single agreed theory, but is a collective term referring to a number of different aspects and methods. The performance approach seems obvious for some literary genres, like drama and also oratory, for which performance is an essential char­ acteristic. In the case of orations, in antiquity already a detailed doctrine of the perfect performance was established, both in theory and practice. Building on this knowledge and trying to recover the quintessential context of a speech, people have successfully attempted to explore a Roman orator's potential and to contexrualize Roman orations by reconstructing the delivery of sample speeches.' However, there are further levels of performance to be looked at in a Roman speech if the term 'performance' is understood in a more specific way: there is not only the actio that determines the performance of a complete speech; the texts of transmitted speeches also exhibit passages where the wording shows that the orator bases his argument on the performance situation, particularly by making use of the active participation of the audience. Reactions from the audience are deliberately elicited by the orator, for instance by taking on certain roles; these techniques stem from his rhetorical training (for example, ethopoiia); however, considering and commenting on these reactions subsequently yield a performative dialogue with the audience, mirrored in the text. That opens up the opportunity to reconstruct a performance situation which goes beyond identifying how rhetorical techniques have been realized by the orator.

  • Burial Customs and the Pollution of Death in Ancient Rome BURIAL CUSTOMS and the POLLUTION of DEATH in ANCIENT ROME: PROCEDURES and PARADOXES
    Burial customs and the pollution of death in ancient Rome BURIAL CUSTOMS AND THE POLLUTION OF DEATH IN ANCIENT ROME: PROCEDURES AND PARADOXES ABSTRACT The Roman attitude towards the dead in the period spanning the end of the Republic and the high point of the Empire was determined mainly by religious views on the (im)mortality of the soul and the concept of the “pollution of death”. Contamina- tion through contact with the dead was thought to affect interpersonal relationships, interfere with official duties and prevent contact with the gods. However, considera- tions of hygiene relating to possible physical contamination also played a role. In this study the traditions relating to the correct preparation of the body and the sub- sequent funerary procedures leading up to inhumation or incineration are reviewed and the influence of social status is considered. Obvious paradoxes in the Roman at- titude towards the dead are discussed, e.g. the contrast between the respect for the recently departed on the one hand, and the condoning of brutal executions and public blood sports on the other. These paradoxes can largely be explained as reflecting the very practical policies of legislators and priests for whom considerations of hygiene were a higher priority than cultural/religious views. 1. INTRODUCTION The Roman approach to disposing of the dead in the Republican era and the early Empire (the period from approximately 250 BC to AD 250) was determined in part by diverse cultural/religious beliefs in respect of the continued existence of the soul after death and the con- cept of the “pollution of death”.

Konstantin project to create a new ‘Soviet man’ (sovetskii chelovek, during the Brezhnev era renamed in the clumsy phrase Homo sovieticus, homosos, or sovok). But from the philological standpoint what is equally (or: primarily) distinctive is the communicative discourse that served Soviet ideology: new words, new texts, new forms of social interaction (including media forms). The scale of linguistic innovation in the Soviet era is best expressed in the diversity of so-called ‘Sovietisms’ in semantics, in lexis and word formation, and in style – the words and phrases that lend their characteristic colour to texts of a public or political nature.1 But the role of lexical and semantic innovations that were called for by the novelty and distinctiveness of the political reality looks broader, in historical and cultural retrospect, than the sphere of political ideolect.
