Lecture 7 examines the application of rhetorical principles to images to see how they are imagined to be persuasive and the ways in which that power of persuasion has been theorized. Whether through discourse or imagery, the notion of persuasion as understood in relation to images is accounted for in a discussion ranging from Plato to William Wordsworth, from Roland Barthes to Paul Messaris, from metaphysics to idolatry.
Résumé
Le septième cours examine l’application de principes rhétoriques aux images afin de voir comment on a envisagé celles-ci comme étant persuasives et comment on a théorisé leur pouvoir de persuasion. Ce cours rend compte de cette idée de persuasion par rapport aux images, qu’on en ait traité par le discours ou par l’image même, dans une discussion allant de Platon à William Wordsworth, de Roland Barthes à Paul Messaris, de la métaphysique à l’idolâtrie.
