Kennedy 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would especially like to thank the members of my committee, Drs. Roxanne Mountford, Tom Miller, Krista Ratcliffe, and Adela Licona, for their commitment to this project. I am grateful for the insightful comments they have provided on my chapters, which have challenged me to take my writing and scholarship to another level. I am especially grateful to my chair, Roxanne Mountford, for her unwavering support and mentoring throughout my time in the RCTE program. Among the many things she has taught me, the one that resonates most as I finish this project is this: “Never give away your power.” While I didn’t always understand what this meant, contemplating such a statement has made all the difference in my personal and professional growth. I would also like to thank Dr. Theresa Enos and Dr. Julie Jung for their feedback on my early ideas about whiteness studies and embodied writing. A special thank you goes to Bill Endres for sharing poetry with me. You showed me that I could be an academic and a poet, both roles informing the other in wonderful ways. And to Dianne Darcy and Peg Kaufman, I want to thank you for helping me to learn to live more creatively and holistically. I would also like to thank the two women in my family who envisioned what I could accomplish if I “put my mind to it.” My grandmother, Mary Kennedy, has always been a source of strength and refuge for me. She is one of the best people I know; I am blessed to call her my friend. To my mother, Judy Johnson, I am grateful for all the sacrifices you made in order to ensure that I went to college. You afforded me the opportunities you did not enjoy so that I might live a different kind of life. I hope this dissertation and subsequent work from it will serve to honor your contributions to my happiness. To my students in my first-year and advanced writing courses at the University of Arizona, thank you for teaching me more than I knew I needed to know. I would also like to thank my Dissertation Writing Group—Drew Kopp, Leta Sharp, Stacy Day, Holly Mandes Ryan, and Katie Johnson—for their helpful comments during the writing process. To Chloe, Dylan, Scout, and Vinny, I am eternally grateful for your constant companionship and the great joy you bring to my life. To Alison Miller of the RCTE program, a special thank you for answering numerous questions, listening to my graduate school worries, and for making sure all of the paperwork was in place so that I could advance through this program. You are truly indispensable. 5 DEDICATION For my beloved Tracey, my favorite teacher: “Beauty and goodness are always there in each of us. A true teacher, a true spiritual partner, is one who encourages you to look deeply in yourself for the beauty and love you are seeking. The true teacher is someone who helps you discover the teacher in yourself.” --Thich Nhat Hanh 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ……………………………………………………………………………. 8 CHAPTER ONE: RECONCEPTUALIZING MEMORIA IN WRITING PEDAGOGIES ………………………………………………………………………. .10 Introduction: Defining Rhetorical Memory ………………………………………….10 Mnemosyne Remembers ……………………………………………………………..14 The Terministic Screens of Rhetorical Memory ……………………………………..18 Memory as Invention ………………………………………………………………....26 Memory’s Suspicious Subjectivity …………………………………………………...34 (Re)remembering Mnemosyne ……………………………………………………….40 Theoretical Underpinnings of Rhetorical Memory: Film Composition, Autobiographical Studies, Foucault, and Neuroscience …………………………….45 Notes ………………………………………………………………………………….62 CHAPTER TWO: MNEMOSYNE’S HEIRS: RHETORICAL MEMORY AND FEMINIST RHETORIC AND COMPOSITION PEDAGOGIES …………………66 Memory and Feminist Rhetoric and Composition Studies …………………………...70 Rhetorical Memory in Maxine Hong Kingston’s “No Name Woman”……………....73 Rhetorical Memory and Historiography………………………………………………80 Rhetorical Memory and Experience ………………………………………………….83 Rhetorical Memory and Agency ……………………………………………………...86 Writing Rhetorical Memory and Alternative Discourse(s) …………………………...92 Rhetorical Memory and Mestiza Consciousness ……………………………………100 (In)Conclusion ………………………………………………………………………103 Notes ………………………………………………………………………………...103 CHAPTER THREE: MNEMOSYNE’S RUINS: USING RHETORICAL MEMORY TO (DE)CONSTRUCT MARY MAGDALENE’S MEMORY IN THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST AND THE DA VINCI CODE ………………...107 Re-membering Mary Magdalene ……………………………………………………116 Pre-production Notes: Constructing Martin Scorsese’s Memory of Magdalene . 121 Pre-production Notes: Constructing Dan Brown’s Memory of Magdalene ………...127 Scorsese/Hershey’s Memory of Magdalene on Screen ……………………………..136 Brown/Howard’s Memory of Magdalene on Screen………………………………...146 (In)Conclusion ………………………………………………………………………159 Notes ………………………………………………………………………………...161 7 CHAPTER FOUR: MNEMOSYNE’S TECHNOLOGIES OF SOCIAL ACTION: REREADING WHITENESS PEDAGOGIES THROUGH RHETORICAL MEMORY ……………………………………………………………………………165 Whiteness Pedagogies and Film ……………………………………………………172 Whiteness Pedagogies and Rhetorical Memory ……………………………………181 Classroom Praxis: Rhetorical Memory and Writing about Representations of Literacy in Movies …………………………………………………………………………...195 Tapping Students’ Constructed Memories ………………………………………….197 Using Film to Build Prosthetic Memory ……………………………………………204 Exploring the Intersections of Private/Public Memories ……………………………208 (In)Conclusion ………………………………………………………………………212 Notes ………………………………………………………………………………...214 CONCLUSION: IMPLICATIONS OF FURTHER RESEARCH AND FOR PEDGAGOGY………………………………………………………………………. .218 APPENDIX A: COURSE RATIONALE ……………………………………………231 APPENDIX B: SYLLABUS (COURSE DESCRIPTION AND MAJOR ASSIGNMENTS) ……………………………………………………………………..233 APPENDIX C: WRITING ASSIGNMENT 1 (LITERACY NARRATIVE)...........235 APPENDIX D: WRITING ASSIGNMENT 2 (TEXTUAL ANALYSIS) …………236 APPENDIX E: WRITING ASSIGNMENT 3 (CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS/DOCUMENTED RESEARCH) ……………………………………….238 WORKS CITED............................................................................................................240 8 ABSTRACT While memoria is the fourth canon of rhetoric, its generative power remains essentially absent from rhetoric and composition studies. In my dissertation I use Mnemosyne’s story as a way to reconceptualize memoria beyond the confines of mnemonic techniques and memorization. I provide an overview of memoria using the terministic screens of storehouse, invention, and subjectivity in order to explain its absence and the consequences of this gap. I posit that the generative, critical, and embodied qualities of memory shape our ways of knowing and being and our hermeneutical, inventive, and revisionary practices. I argue that memory is rhetorical: it’s not just what is remembered/forgotten that matters, but how it is remembered, by whom, for what purpose, and with what effect. Rhetorical memory is a process—and product(s)—of remembering. Rather than remaining fixed, rhetorical memory is dynamic, relational, infused with emotion, steeped in imagination, and context-dependent. It is also relational, not autonomous and continuous. When memory is written, it expresses, analyzes, connects,

    The Pulpit & the Memory Palace

    Copyright by Ryan Tinetti 2019 !iii THESIS ABSTRACT The following thesis considers the benefits of classical rhetoric for contemporary preaching, with special reference to the classical memorization technique known as the method of loci (or Memory Palace). The goal for this research is to discern how the method of loci can help pastors to “preach by heart,” that is, to internalize the sermon such that they can preach it without notes as though it were an extemporaneous Spirit- prompted utterance. To this end, the thesis is structured around two parts. Following an Introduction that sets out the practical challenges to preaching by heart that attend many pastors, Part 1 provides a survey of classical rhetoric, especially the so-called “modes of persuasion” and “canons of rhetoric,” before then turning specifically to the canon of Memoria (“memory”) and its concomitant practice of the Memory Palace. Part 2 applies the insights of the first part to the process of sermon preparation more broadly, and then walks through the practice of the Memory Palace for preaching in particular. A Conclusion recapitulates the argument and demonstrates the method of loci in practice. !iv To Anne, who knows me by heart !v TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract iv Acknowledgements vii Introduction: Preaching by Heart 1 Part 1: Classical Rhetoric and the Method of Loci 22 Chapter 1: An Overview of Classical Rhetoric 23 Chapter 2: Memoria and the Method of Loci 43 Part 2: Contemporary Preaching and the Memory Palace 64 Chapter 3: Applying Classical Rhetoric to Sermon Preparation 65 Chapter 4: Constructing the Memory Palace 79 Conclusion: At Home in the Word 104 Bibliography 122 Biography 127 !vi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To complete a project such as this thesis is to create a profound sense of indebtedness and gratitude to the many people who made it possible.

    MONOGRÁFICO Círculo de Lingüística Aplicada a la Comunicación ISSN: 1576-4737 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/clac.66597 Rhetorical Analysis of a Discourse Model in the Business World: Elevator Pitch Javier de Santiago-Guervós1 Recibido: 14 de noviembre de 2019 / 24 de noviembre de 2019 Abstract. This paper proposes an analytical model for entrepreneurial pitches based on the five canons of rhetoric (i.e. invention, arrangement, style, memory and delivery), through the de- construction of the text from the discursive act itself (as conceived in the invention phase) to its actual production (i.e. delivery). The questions this methodology attempts to answer are why the pitch may be persuasive and how that persuasion is achieved by analyzing its discursive and linguistic characteristics; what ethical, rational or emotional arguments are appealed to; who the potential audience is, and what other multimodal resources are used to support the persuasive force of the text. In order to answer these questions, two pitches in Spanish are deconstructed and conclusions regarding their efficacy are drawn. Key words: Persuasion; rhetoric; discourse analysis. [es] Análisis retórico de un modelo de discurso en el ámbito comercial: Elevator Pitch Resumen. En este trabajo se propone un modelo analítico para un tipo de discurso comercial (Elevator Pitch) basado en los cinco cánones de la retórica clásica (inventio, dispositio, elocutio, memoria y actio). Partiendo de dos discursos opuestos desde el punto de vista de su eficacia, se pretende deconstruir el texto para comprender las razones del logro persuasivo (o de su fracaso) analizando sus características discursivas y lingüísticas desde el mismo momento de la planificación (estudio del destinatario, argumentos, etc.) hasta la puesta en escena pasando por una selección léxica (elocutio) perfectamente estudiada que pretende estimular marcos cognitivos de interpretación que apoyan la propia argumentación en favor de la persuasión del interlocutor.
  • Between Grammar and Rhetoric Poetria Nova and Its Educational Context in Medieval and Renaissance Italy

    Between Grammar and Rhetoric Poetria Nova and Its Educational Context in Medieval and Renaissance Italy

    Le poetriae del medioevo latino Modelli, fortuna, commenti a cura di Gian Carlo Alessio e Domenico Losappio Between Grammar and Rhetoric Poetria nova and Its Educational Context in Medieval and Renaissance Italy Robert Black (The University of Leeds, UK) Abstract This paper examines the context of Geoffrey of Vinsauf’s Poetria nova and of its manu- scripts and commentaries in medieval and Renaissance Italy. It is well known that, in Italy, gram- mar (Latin language and literature) was the concern of elementary and mainly secondary schools, whereas rhetoric was primarily a university subject (although basic introductory rhetoric also figured at the end of the secondary-school curriculum). There is little direct (and scant indirect) indica- tion that Poetria nova was taught in Italian universities, but abundant evidence that it was used in schools. Such a school (as opposed to university) context suggests that Poetria nova was primarily used in teaching grammar, not rhetoric, in medieval and Renaissance Italy. The most important use of the text was teaching prose composition: how to vary sentences beyond the simplest wording and structure of subject-verb-predicate (suppositum-appositum) initially learned by grammar pupils, i.e. moving from ordo naturalis to ordo artificialis. Marjorie Curry Woods has written, “although there is growing evidence that the Poetria nova was used to teach the composition of prose, and especially, letters, throughout Europe, it is almost always copied with verse texts, often classical works, in Ital- ian manuscripts, which suggests that it was also used there to teach the interpretation of literary texts”. But there is little sign that Geoffrey of Vinsauf was cited in Italian literary manuscripts during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries: in my study of manuscript schoolbooks preserved in Flor- entine libraries, there are 98 in which authorities are explicitly cited.

ABSTRACT This dissertation examines rhetoric’s fourth canon—the art of memory—tracing its development through the classical, medieval, and early modern periods. It argues that for most of its history, the fourth canon was an art by which words and knowledge were remediated into visual, spatial forms, either in the mind or on the page. And it was this technique of visualization, I argue, that linked the canons of memory and invention throughout history. In contemporary rhetorical theory, however, memory palaces and mnemonic imagery have been replaced with a conception of memory grounded in psychology and critique. I argue that this move away from memory as an artificial practice has obscured the classical art’s visual precepts, consequently severing the ancient link between memory and invention. I suggest that contemporary rhetorical theorists should return to visualization to revitalize the fourth canon in the twenty-first century. Today, digital tools that visualize words and knowledge are ubiquitous.

We also are member of the Project PRA2 which is oriented towards creating a technological website platform open to any user, where people, regardless of the functional characteristics, can interact with any audiovisual resources. In the paper, we present the audio descriptive text as a new modern discourse, a coherent oral text and a speech act according to the five phases of Quintilian Rhetoric: inventio, dispositio, elocutio, memoria and actio. We also offer examples of the main tropes and figures that ornament the audio descriptive text and make it a rhetorical discourse. Index Terms—audio description, inventio, dispositio, elocutio, actio, rhetoric discourse I. INTRODUCTION AMATRA is a translation research group of the University of Granada with a theoretical interest in Access to Knowledge, Multimodality and Translation training. This interest led us to create a data base of films with Spanish audio description (AD) in order to analyze, through Multimodal Corpus Linguistics methods, the characteristics of Spanish AD. Results from this analysis have a professional and a didactic application. They serve the double purpose of being the basis to carry out AD reception experiments that may contribute to the improvement of existing AD guidelines, and a valuable set of reference materials for AD training, AD training teaching, as well as for AD professionals.

    Rhetoric: Some Definitions (Note That One of These Things Is Not Like the Others…)

    Rhetoric: Some Definitions (note that one of these things is not like the others…) Gorgias: Persuasion by speech is like abduction by force. And: “The power of speech [logos] over the constitution of the soul can be compared with the effect of drugs on the bodily state: just as drugs by driving out different humours from the body can put an end either to the disease or to life, so with speech: different words can induce grief, pleasure or fear; or again, by means of a harmful kind of persuasion, words can drug and bewitch the soul.” Socrates/Plato: “Rhetoric” is “an art of guiding the soul by means of words” (technê psychagôgia tis dia logôn) in any kind of discourse (Phaedrus) Aristotle: Rhetoric is an antistrophes to dialectic. “Let rhetoric [be defined as] an ability [dynamis], in each [particular] case, to see the available means of persuasion.” “Rhetoric is a counterpart of dialectic” — an art of practical civic reasoning, applied to deliberative, judicial, and “display” speeches in political assemblies, lawcourts, and other public gatherings. Cicero: "Rhetoric is one great art comprised of five lesser arts: inventio, dispositio, elocutio, memoria, and pronunciatio." Rhetoric is "speech designed to persuade." Rhetoric is a general art of speech that joins “wisdom and eloquence” (sapientia et eloquentia), and that ranges over the whole realm of human concerns, but applies especially to practical civic discourse. Quintillian: "Rhetoric is the art of speaking well." Actually, it’s “the good man speaking well.” George Campbell: [Rhetoric] is that art or talent by which discourse is adapted to its end.

Sumillera Universitat de València ABSTRACT This article investigates the connection between the all-important concept of invention within the literary terminology of sixteenth- century England and the perception of translation during this period. Invention is discussed as a concept in transition during the sixteenth century, as it was then still associated with the rhetorical notion of “finding” within a topical system, while new shades of meaning closer to imagination, fantasy, fancy and wit started to become dominant even in rhetorical contexts. Invention was deemed in the sixteenth century a necessary ingredient for outstanding poetry, and yet it was assumed to be absent from the work of the translator, whose role was solely to copy the invention of the source text. This article claims that the lack of invention in translations (or rather, the mere following of the invention of the translated text) was the main reason why translations were invariably regarded as minor achievements as compared to their source texts.

INTRODUCCIÓN. Hablar en público forma parte de nuestra vida cotidiana. Con frecuencia utilizamos la palabra para conseguir nuestros objetivos en los ámbitos más diversos y, en consecuencia, diseñamos discursos con objeto de persuadir a nuestros destinatarios. Así, cuando nos comunicamos con un público interactuamos con una multitud de oyentes y hemos de percibir todas las características de nuestro auditorio para conformar un discurso eficaz y coherente. Es más, esa multitud de oyentes no siempre responde de inmediato ante nuestra intervención oral, esto es, ninguno nos va a interrumpir para manifestarnos su acuerdo o desacuerdo, su satisfacción, desagrado o indiferencia por lo que estamos contando.
