Abstract(s)
Nos tratados médicos antigos, existe uma preocupação com o estilo e a dispositio do
discurso. Esse facto deve-se, por exemplo, ao carácter didáctico desses textos e à
preocupação em os tornar perceptíveis para o leitor. É, no entanto, objectivo do nosso
trabalho apresentar vários exemplos de processos de similitude entre a arte médica e a
arte retórica, ou seja, como se interpenetram no discurso o poder da palavra e o efeito dos
princípios médicos, tomando como ponto de partida as palavras de Górgias no Elogio a
Helena (14). Para justificar a atitude de Helena e desconstruir a teoria dos que a acusaram
em poemas, Górgias enfatiza a força persuasiva da palavra. Nesse sentido, um dos
elementos de reflexão do nosso trabalho será demonstrar que o efeito da palavra pode ser
imprevisível, no bom ou mau sentido, não detendo o orador um domínio total da situação.
Tanto na palavra como no corpo o domínio não é total. Por isso, corpo e palavra têm
elementos em comum que alguns autores antigos aproximam por meio de metáforas ou
outras figuras de estilo. Sobretudo entre autores da retórica grega, faremos uma selecção
de textos a interpretar, explorando os elementos enunciados, de forma a reflectir sobre a
problemática da techne retórica clássica, que se mantém actual nos nossos dias, em
formas e meios distintos.
In the ancient medical treatises, there is a concern with the style and dispositio of the speech. This fact is due, for example, to the didactic nature of these texts and the concern to make them noticeable to the reader. It is, however, the objective of our paper to present several examples of processes of similarity between medical art and rhetorical art, that is, how the power of the word and the effect of medical principles interpenetrate in the discourse, taking as a starting point the words of Gorgias in the Encomium to Helen (14). To justify Helena's attitude and deconstruct the theory of those who accused her in poems, Gorgias emphasizes the persuasive power of the word. In this sense, one of the elements of reflection of our work will be to demonstrate that the effect of the word can be unpredictable, in the good or bad sense, without the speaker having a total control of the situation. Both in word and in body the domain is not total. Therefore, body and word have elements in common that some ancient authors approach by means of metaphors or other figures of style. Especially in Greek rhetoric, we will make a selection of texts to be interpreted, exploring the enunciated elements, in order to reflect on the issue of classical rhetorical techne, which remains current today, in different ways and means.
