Meeting Description:

International Conference
University of Palermo, April 19 - 20, 2018
Polo Didattico, Building 12, Seminar room A and Multi-medial room A

In this conference, we’ll study the logics of persuasion according to
anthropological and rhetorical perspectives, exchanging insights and
viewpoints. Even though anthropology and rhetoric are historically defined in
multiple ways, as a matter of fact they share a common presupposition opening
a potentially rich dialogue between disciplines: an effort to reach
individuals and groups through effective and persuasive messages. What is the
particular value of these messages nowadays and how are they taken into
account by rhetoric, anthropology and other social sciences? More
specifically, in what ways do anthropology and other social sciences make use
of rhetorical procedures in order to be more effective? Furthermore, how can
rhetoric be conceived in an intercultural world? And what do we mean by
effective rhetorical strategy? Finally, is it possible to do an anthropology
of rhetoric and/or a rhetoric of anthropology? To this end, we propose four
sections from which social scientists and rhetoricians can freely draw to
exchange viewpoints and interrogations.
