Rhetoric: Understanding how images and speech shape knowledge Sonja Lind Education 125 February 8, 2010

Rhetoric: Way of persuading others

There are many ways to build meaning

We build meaning... Not only with words

We build meaning...

Essentially we build meaning by connecting something to something else

Example:

Artists may play with these connections … … by introducing surprising or unexpected connections

We learn to read images and videos the same way we learn to read text by making connections

Connections in video: double illusion 1 – moving (connecting frames) 2 – scene (connecting shots)

The Kuleshov Effect

The public raved about the acting of the artist. They pointed out the heavy pensiveness of his mood over the forgotten soup, were touched and moved by the deep sorrow with which he looked on the dead woman, and admired the light, happy smile with which he surveyed the girl at play.

Meaning is constructed by association

Connection between structural elements Compositional

Gorgias' “Econium of Helen”

Helen of Troy's beauty was known as the cause of the Trojan War between Greece and Troy. Under the influence of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, Helen allowed Paris, a Trojan prince, to persuade her to elope with him.They went to Troy, and Helen was blamed for starting the war.

Gorgias – defending Helen Main argument: “speech is a powerful lord” language is all-powerful, like magic or drugs

Four defenses of Helen's innocence?

Four defenses of Helen's innocence? 1. by the gods (fate) 2. by physical force (rape) 3. by speech (persuading her) 4. by love

Ha! “I have by means of speech removed disgrace from a woman … I wished to write a speech which would be a praise of Helen and a diversion to myself.”

Tufte's “PowerPoint is Evil”

Main arguments against PowerPoint?

Writing “will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom.” - Plato's Phaedrus

Byrne's “Learning to Love PowerPoint”

Main arguments for PowerPoint?

Similarities?

Rhetoric? A final definition?
