{"product_id":"authority-and-history-juliana-bastos-marques-9781350269484","title":"Authority and History: Ancient Models, Modern Questions","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines authority in discourse from ancient to modern historians, while also presenting instances of current subversions of the classical rhetorical \u003ci\u003eethos\u003c\/i\u003e. Ancient rhetoric set out the rules of authority in discourse, and directly affected the claims of Greek and Roman historians to truth. These working principles were consolidated in modern tradition, but not without modifications. The contemporary world, in its turn, subverts in many new ways the weight of the author's claim to legitimacy and truth, through the active role of the audiences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e How have the ancient claims to authority worked and changed from their own times to our post-modern, digital world? Online uses and outreach displays of the classical past, especially through social media, have altered the balance of the authority traditionally bestowed upon the ancients, demonstrating what the linguistic turn has shown: the role of the reader is as important as that of the writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juliana Bastos Marques\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350269484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350269484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Juliana Bastos Marques","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46420416921855,"sku":"9781350269484","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6147a5e-ef52-497d-a6f5-d8217b40f1e5.jpg?v=1734634571","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/authority-and-history-juliana-bastos-marques-9781350269484","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
