Abstract
CHIALVA, Ivana Selene. Emotional Fictions for Rhetorical Education in three Fables by Aphthonius. Nova tellus [online]. 2024, vol.42, n.2, pp.31-52. Epub Nov 25, 2024. ISSN 0185-3058. https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2024.42.2/000s22x0q112.
The collection of fables of the rhetor Aphthonius (Aphth.) consists of 40 models of this exercise. According to our hypothesis some fables make up a corpus with “agonal correlations” underlying a didactic program around emotions and persuasion. Based on three fables (Aphth. 7, 21, 16) that thematize the act of persuading and the mistake of being persuaded by an opponent: 1. we will analyze individual and social emotive fictions to verify how their “agonal correlations” model the cognitive evaluation of that mistake; 2. we will investigate whether these artificially created emotions in fabulistic narrative anticipate discursive roles and their possible affections-effects in a future rhetorical community.
