Textul de pe ultima copertă
Parrhesia is a vital rhetorical resource for our times, enabling discordant interruptions when oppressive power occults shared community values. Renea Frey accomplishes the impossible here in one volume: she untangles a complex theory of parrhesia, she recovers its ancient history, and she illustrates its modern practice to foster progressive social change. Frey is concerned at every point to make parrhesia available for every citizen reader to employ in promoting civic virtue.

Speak the truth, regardless of the risks, to those who need to hear it and especially to those who don’t want to hear it. Why haven’t we been teaching parrhesia all along? In her skillful historical narration Renea Frey recovers parrhesia for the field of rhetoric, tracks its historical origins, catalogs its variations, and overall makes a compelling case for why parrhesia matters, why it is perhaps THE most important rhetorical (and ethical) principle of them all, particularly so in this era of social media disinformation, deepfakes, and, unapologetic mendacity. This impressive piece of scholarship is required reading for everyone in the field.

This book examines the theory, history, and practice of parrhesia—the act of speaking truth to power, when doing so is risky for the rhetor—and argues for a networked rhetorical approach to parrhesia that has not been considered previously by any other theorist. The goal of this book is to offer a reader-friendly explanation of this networked rhetorical approach to parrhesia, provide a genealogical account of the origins of parrhesia in the Classical age, and to show how parrhesia manifests today. This book is meant to give readers a functional manual for understanding, recognizing, analyzing, articulating, and using parrhesia.
