Please fill in your name, confirm the dates and approximate time of your arrival (when you get to the airport, train station etc.) and tick the meals that you need in the table below (if you are a vegetarian, please state so).
<br />
<br />
If you are interested in going on a trip on Saturday afternoon (starting 12.45, arriving to Ploieşti late in the evening), please state so as well. (Costs of the trip are not included in the conference fee and will be available soon).<br />
<br />
Please also take into account that the cocktail on Thursday evening will take place in the University main hall and the dinner on Friday evening will be at Hanul Dacilor (3 kms outside the city). For this, you will need a taxi (fares are on the site) – expected fare if you use the companies we recommend is around 10 lei (less than 2 euro) for a taxi. Please note that dinner is included in the conference fee; however, you will be charged for any alcoholic consumption. We will soon provide you with several menu options for the dinner on Friday and you will be asked to state your preference.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In his <i>Rhetoric</i>,
Aristotle defined the act of persuasion as the interaction between three
elements: <i>ethos</i> (Greek for
‘character’, which designated the image of the self built by the orator to
inspire trustworthiness and credibility), <i>pathos</i>
(the arousing of emotions in one’s audience), and <i>logos</i> (referring both to discourse and reason). While these notions
have remained conceptual cornerstones in major intellectual endeavours of
western thought, <i>ethos</i> in particular
developed in a distinctly different direction (from the individual to the
collective or national) in the nineteenth century, from Hegel’s understanding
of the German word for ‘ethics’, <i>Sittlichkeit</i>,
as what binds the members of a community to a place. Similarly, with the advent
of Heideggerian ontology and its rediscovery of pre-Socratic heritage, <i>logos</i>, hitherto restricted to ‘logic’
and reason, and classically opposed to <i>muthos</i>
(fable, fiction, therefore untruth) by philosophy against poetry, was given a
more existential dimension as what the Being-in-the-world inhabits (‘Language
is the house of Being’ in Heidegger’s ‘Letter on Humanism’) by the German
philosopher, for whom ‘Poetically Man Dwells’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">While linguists (Austin and, later,
various pragmatist schools), sociologists (Bourdieu: his notion of 'habitus'
and his critique of a purely linguistic performative in Austinian theories) and
rhetoric- or discourse-focused critics (Amossy) mediating between them, have
endeavoured to analyze discursive exchanges in oral as well as written
situations within this broadly post-Aristotelian framework, no conference has
yet explicitly tried to re-address this conceptual triad in the light of these
more ‘modern’ philosophical re-orientations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">The aim of this symposium is
therefore to investigate how a post-Hegelian (as well as Derridean)
construction of <i>ethos</i> as indissociable from a sense of place, coupled
with a more extended and generous notion of <i>logos</i>
no longer opposed to 'fiction' or synonymous with persuasive truth, can be
brought to bear on how both rational ideas and emotions (<i>pathoi</i>) are
expressed, both in public forms of address (e.g. political discourses) and
literary texts pertaining to different generic conventions. If, as Derrida
famously claims in ‘This Strange Institution Called Literature’ - including in
defence of persecuted writers - 'literature is the right to say everything/anything'
(‘<i>le droit de tout dire</i>’), how can
this right be exercised with an 'ethical' sense of place and with an awareness
of the 'cultural pathologies' of a given audience? More generally, how can one
construct a different concept (and pragmatic operation) of 'persuasion' across
linguistic and literary genres?</span><br />
