Colloquium for Ancient Rhetoric Spring Colloquium

"Writing Histories of Greco-Roman Rhetoric: A forward-looking reappraisal of Kennedy’s A New History of Classical Rhetoric"

Join us for CAR’s Spring Colloquium, featuring six distinguished panelists in a critical reappraisal of Kennedy’s New History of Classical rhetoric. Is there a need for larger narratives on ancient rhetoric? Which audiences should such macroscopic work address? Which areas are over- or under-emphasized in the study of the history of ancient rhetoric? Where might such a study successfully intersect with other categories of analysis, such as social history, gender, reception, performance, literary aesthetics, and the visual arts?
