Dans la Rome ancienne, la honte constituait un outil efficace de contrôle des comportements. Phénomène social, moyen idéologique, objet intellectuel, elle offre une voie d’accès privilégiée aux mentalités et aux modes de pensée romains. Mais tout en se présentant aux modernes à travers le prisme trompeur d’une désignation uniforme, la honte recouvrait des réalités, des pratiques et des fonctions diverses : tantôt formalisée par les études savantes ou exploitée dans des œuvres littéraires, tantôt subie ou infligée dans la vie quotidienne ou sur la scène politique. D’un domaine à l’autre, d’une époque à l’autre, ce volume interroge l’unité de la notion sur le temps long de l’histoire romaine. Entre extériorité et intériorité, pensée réflexive ou expérience formalisée, l’idée d’une honte proprement romaine est ici mise à l’épreuve. Textes édités par Renaud Alexandre, Charles Guérin et Mathieu Jacotot

Parallèlement à l''étude de la tradition manuscrite, les mécanismes de transmission des textes peuvent être abordés sous l''angle de la réception. Une telle approche, centrée sur les modalités d''appropriation intellectuelle des œuvres, permet de restituer leur épaisseur historique aux pratiques de lecture et d''écriture dans l''Antiquité.Les analyses rassemblées dans ce volume révèlent, au-delà des différences d''époque, de genre littéraire ou de langue, des constantes de lecture propres au monde antique, qui trouvent leurs prolongements jusqu''à l''époque moderne. À travers l''examen de concepts clefs (réécriture, modèle, tradition directe et indirecte, corpus) apparaissent différents scénarios de réception qui fondent pour les textes la possibilité d''une vie nouvelle.

As a genre situated at the crossroad of rhetoric and fiction, declamatio offers the freedom to experiment with new forms of discourse. Placing the literariness of declamatio into the spotlight, this volume showcases declamation as a realm of genuine literary creation with its own theoretical underpinning, literary technique and generic conventions. Focusing on the oeuvre of (Ps)Quintilian, this volume demonstrates that these texts constitute a genre on their own, the rhetorical and literary framework of which remains not yet fully mapped. It is of interest to students and scholars of Rhetoric and Roman Literature.

Focusing on the oeuvre of Calpurnius Flaccus this volume demonstrates that these texts constitute a genre on their own, the rhetorical and literary framework of which remains not yet fully mapped. Contributions from an international group of leading scholars from the field of Roman Literature and Rhetoric will explore the question of how Roman Declamation functions as a literary genre. This volume investigates the literary technique and the generic conventions of declamatio in its social, pedagocial and ethical context to determine “the poetics” of Roman Declamation.

This volume is of interest to students and scholars of Rhetoric and Roman Literature.
