PARTIES AS ART OF RHETORIC (II)


The judicial discourse structure led to rhetoric (the source of modern style and trends of contemporary literary theory) to specify the parts of the discipline. In this sense, the rhetoric has five parts: inventio, the dispositio, elocutio, memory and actio.


For Greco-Roman rhetoric, inventio involves the pursuit of "issues" that are housed in so-called loci (places in the memory). Later, in the modern world began inventio closely linked with the ideology that carries a poetic text.


The dispositio is associated with the notion of structure, because the judicial discourse should possess, according to some classical writers, introduction, narration, argumentation, and a final peroration.


For its part, the elocutio is linked to the idea of \u200b\u200bstyle and emphasizes the need for the use of rhetorical figures. Traditionally, the figures were classified phonic figures (alliteration, eg, present in the following verses of the poet Garcilaso Toledo: "In silence was heard / a whisper that sounded bee"), syntactic (hyperbaton or change the order of the components of the sentence and other figures), semantic (metaphor, metonymy, among other resources) and thought (allegory, for example, that implies a sort of challenge to our habitual way of viewing the world).


Memory (quarter of the rhetoric) that emphasizes the need to know the speech without need of visual support. For Finally, the actio which is how we run the front of the public discourse in order to fulfill the purpose persuasive. Undoubtedly, in modern rhetoric began to develop more elocutio (rhetorical figures, in particular) and missed the totalizing vision was Aristotle's Rhetoric on philosophical roots. But this issue will be the subject of the third article I will write later.
