Permanent Crisis addresses a common misconception: that the humanities were devalued or displaced by the rise of modern science. Rather, as Paul Reitter and Chad Wellmon argue, “the modern humanities were not a casualty of the modern university and specialization—they were a product of them” (52). The social and historical developments of the nineteenth century that led to the foundation of the new, specialized German university in Berlin in 1809 also saw the rise of the modern humanities, whose self-appointed function was much grander than that of their predecessors, the seven liberal arts. Rapid technological and scientific progress was accompanied by a similarly rapid fragmentation of knowledge and a decline in the unifying role of the church and religion. The humanities, therefore, as Reitter and Wellmon argue, suddenly assumed a new role: on the one hand, to serve as a corrective to disciplinary specialization and fragmentation and tie all knowledge together and, on the other, to provide moral guidance, meaning, and a unified picture of the world to those who studied them. This epistemic and ethical ideal was to become “the moral and rhetorical project” that offered the hope of unifying the modern university and created a kind of “secular sanctity” (52) that would produce the progressive moral subject. “What the Bible does for the masses, Homer does for the educated,” proclaimed August Wilhelm von Hofmann, rector of the University of Berlin. The humanities then were to provide “moral consolation and unity [for] educated professionals” (151).Reitter and Wellmon trace both the enthusiasm and the deep reservations about this new project. Parallels with the contemporary American university are frequent and convincing. The proposed new goal for the universities produced the identity of the academic, the ideal scholar set apart in complete and ascetic devotion to the pursuit of knowledge. At the same time, the new disciplinary specialization gave rise to fierce competition to attract researchers of national reputation, at the expense of the growing numbers of nonsalaried faculty who taught lower-level courses and tried to produce research in a desperate bid to achieve recognition in the form of a permanent post.Neither the desired unity of knowledge nor the proposed moral vision was ever achieved. The pressures of disciplinary specialization were coupled with a climate of political distrust that encouraged only research of a highly technical nature. At the same time, German intellectuals, preoccupied with the idea of cultural decline, berated the German university for failing to halt cultural disintegration and moral rot. Humanities professors had, as the educational reformer Friedrich Diesterweg stated pointedly, abandoned their duty to participate in the moral upbringing and shaping of students’ characters (71). Yet intellectual freedom—understood as morally and religiously unencumbered inquiry—sat uneasily next to demands to inculcate moral com
例如，虽然作者从一开始就告诫读者，他们的书“不是号召行动”，但我仍然很好奇，他们希望读者在阅读这本书后会有什么不同的做法。特别是，他们的结论提出了两组相互关联的问题，一个是关于危机修辞，另一个是关于人文学者是否可以更好地公开论证人文学科在今天的价值。第一组问题涉及如何定义人文危机，以及危机修辞是否有益。在全书的大部分篇幅中，人文学科的危机似乎指的是道德危机、价值危机或意义危机。然而，当其他当代学者提到人文学科危机(尤其是在美国)时，他们的感觉是他们在谈论人文学科的物质危机，包括偶然性的劳动力问题、入学人数下降、州和联邦资金减少、与STEM领域相比，教师的工资较低，以及校园缺乏高质量的空间。正如现任现代语言协会主席克里斯托弗·纽菲尔德(Christopher Newfield)最近所说的那样:“人文学科的危机是一场资金危机”(Newfield 2022, 2)。该书的结论似乎对这种当代危机修辞提出了警告，并认为“认真对待这种(危机)话语及其复杂性，对于理解现代人文学科的形成、演变和可能的未来是必要的”(253)。但是，对于我们这些人文学科的人来说，今天“认真考虑”这种危机话语会是什么样子呢?危机修辞在哪些情况下可能对人文学科的未来有益?第二组问题涉及人文学科的道德论证，瑞特和威尔蒙将其描述为当代人文学科捍卫者之间的分歧。具体来说，他们声称:“事实上，在教育和民主之间存在着深刻而持久的紧张关系，甚至是不相容的，自由教育的进步捍卫者应该诚实地面对它们，而不是将它们视为保守的反动派和精英分子的常规反应。”他们建议，与其“过度承诺”人文学科所能提供的东西，我们不如转向韦伯的“价值自由”概念，帮助学生理解和反思他们已经持有并带入课堂的价值观(255)。认识到有必要限定人文学科能为学生提供什么似乎是明智的。然而，我想知道，面对急剧的预算削减和其他结构性不平等，博爱教育和人文学科的捍卫者们是否能在今天为它们的价值提出这样一个温和的建议。自由教育的捍卫者如何诚实地面对这些紧张和不相容，同时仍然为其价值做出令人信服的公开案例?《永久危机》帮助读者理解，没有一个连续的人文历史，而是一个不连续的历史，其中有两个相互竞争的人文概念:(1)一个广泛的人文传统，包括古典教育和一般的自由教育;(2)现代人文学科是一套先前不同的、高度专业化的学术学科。西方传统的修辞学教学似乎随着现代性而消失的部分原因正是瑞特和韦尔蒙所描述的。修辞学——文科和人文传统的核心——与现代人文学科的兴起不相容。因此，对于修辞学家来说，《永久危机》的结论似乎在(间接地)呼唤现代人文学科发展中失去的东西:作为一种公众参与和理解的艺术的修辞学，这或许并不奇怪。修辞学提供了与其他人文学科不同的理论和方法来回应人们和公众。人文学科的未来可能取决于我们这些人文学科的人在多大程度上认识到修辞的重要性，并坚持我们的修辞责任，成为大学与公众之间的桥梁。在《永久的危机》一书中，保罗·瑞特和查德·威尔蒙认为，从19世纪末到现在的思想连续性，“近一个半世纪以来，关于‘人文危机’的主张构成了一种具有显著一致特征的流派:对现代衰败因素的焦虑，权威和合法性的丧失，以及在面对使人类与自己、彼此和世界失去人性和疏远的力量时对‘人性’的呼唤。”在这一大胆而有力的宣言的基础上，得出了一个引人注目的推论:“如果没有危机感，人文学科将既没有目标也没有方向”(116)。我对这个论点有两个回应。 沃克从伊索克拉底那里获得了一种微小的探究艺术:“确定争论中的关键问题和论述具体必须完成的内容，以及有系统地搜索、选择和组合相关的思想和发明主题，这样聪明的学生就能更容易地发现否则会偶然发现的东西”(沃克2011,154)。从西塞罗的《论oratore》中的人物老马库斯·安东尼乌斯(Marcus Antonius the elder)那里，沃克学到了类似的一课，即知识在为知识服务中的重要性。Marcus Antonius的修辞学方法通常被认为是对Lucius crasssus强大的人文主义教育的粗鲁的技术反驳，在Walker的分析中，Marcus Antonius的修辞学方法变成了一种实践，在抽象上毫无意义，但在应用上却充满了活力:从许多角度看待世界的能力，以及对许多听众有说服力的演讲。或者，用沃克的话说，“一套资源，体现为一种训练有素的能力，用于丰富地发明要说的东西”(2011,56)。安东尼修辞学家认为，正如我的题词所暗示的，从许多角度来充分理解和尊重地说服他人。沃克认为修辞学是一种“训练有素的能力”，而韦伯认为科学是一种职业，两者的价值都是多元的。当韦伯坚持认为“先知和煽动家不属于学术平台”(1946,146)时，他提倡了许多人所解释的价值中立。瑞特和威尔蒙令人信服地认为，他对学科知识的研究确实引入了适度的学术美德，一种“对知识和价值多元主义的原则性承诺”(263)。沃克的修辞师很难做到价值中立。事实上，如果一个人跟随安东尼乌斯的领导，那么他或她就必须成为多元的价值观，在以另一个人的声音辩论并准备一个体贴的回应时，诚实地尊重每一个观点的尊严。但在韦伯的研究教授和沃克的等量式教师之间，有一个明显的区别。韦伯的立场依赖于技术熟练和人文教育的制度分离，而沃克的等比拉修辞学将这些努力重新结合起来。瑞特和威尔蒙指出，伊索克拉底的论证艺术从16世纪到18世纪一直在传授，教师们追求的是语言熟练程度的“更实用、更技术的目标”(9)。只有在19世纪，当二级机构承担起教授读写能力的苦差事时，大学教授才开始声称人文主义的启蒙可以在道德上弥补现代的堕落。高中人文学科教授的是辩论技巧，而大学人文学科教授的则是道德提升。沃克的等级制修辞挑战了这种制度性的劳动分工，重新统一了技术和伦理。技术娴熟的修辞家是一个探险家，从不在单一语言的大都市中感到舒适，他冒险进入外省，与那些用他们所处的特殊语言组成人类的人交谈。修辞学家在对传统的探索中学会了人性。因此，伊索克拉底的修辞能力将技术技能转化为人文知识，在不承诺拯救(不像韦伯的先知)的情况下，变得负责任地有说服力(不像韦伯的煽动家)。我认为，沃克的价值多元修辞学实践避免了瑞特和威尔蒙认为属于人文主义危机话语的标志性陷阱。用修辞来挖掘人类的财富并不需要“消极的辩护”，那些通过“让现代人文学科对抗各种威胁”来定义或捍卫现代人文学科的失败尝试(254)。此外，伊索克拉底修辞学家不需要掩盖将前现代思想应用于现代制度的困难(255)，因为尽管伊索克拉底艺术可能是狭隘的，但伊索克拉底的性格是广阔的，允许使用一系列修辞和分析技术，包括古代的propromata和现代的社会认同理论。最后，伊索克拉底修辞家不会对任何迫在眉睫的危机过度承诺救赎的解决方案(257)。如果我们相信瑞特和威尔蒙的话，那么从阿道夫·迪斯特韦格到温迪·布朗等人文主义者都拥护全面的道德教育，而不是技术上的学术敏锐。我认为，这种偏好的最新实例是转向非殖民主义和批判种族理论，这两者都是令人钦佩的支流，现在充斥着修辞的河流。沃克的《伊索克拉底》没有逆着现代性的潮流而游，而是在技术修辞的指导下，在人性的溪流中航行。因此，虽然我欣赏瑞特和威尔蒙的分析，虽然我倾向于他们的谦虚，但我更喜欢沃克的修辞，而不是韦伯从人文主义危机话语中科学地逃避。

Abstract The almost universal response to the US Capitol riot of January 6, 2021, has been righteous indignation. Democrats and Republicans alike have called it a defilement or a desecration of the nation’s sacred house. This article adds to the literature on Capitol riot rhetoric by proposing a theory of desecration as a rhetoric in motu because desecration enacts movement across a sacred boundary. We outline key features of a rhetoric of desecration and analyze Win McNamee’s Pulitzer Prize–winning Capitol riot photographs to illuminate why the riot aftermath has elevated legal action to the status of spiritual warfare.

Due to the concealment of the fire source in the gob, the fire prevention and extinguishing work in the gob is facing great difficulties. This study is made in order to realize the real-time monitoring of gob temperature and the accurate positioning of high temperature area, so that the fire prevention and extinguishing work in gob can be targeted. In this study, the previously developed COMBUSS-3D software was used to predict the high temperature area in the gob of 85001 working face of Yangmeiwu Coal Mine and II830 working face of Zhuxianzhuang Coal Mine in China, and the continuous monitoring system of gob temperature was independently developed to realize the real-time monitoring of gob temperature, achieving the purpose of accurate positioning of high temperature area in gob. The results show that the high temperature area of the gob of 85001 working face of Yangmeiwu Coal Mine was in the range of approximate circle centered on the point (36.6, 30), and the maximum temperature was 31.7 °C. The high temperature area of the gob of II830 working face in Zhuxianzhuang Coal Mine presented an approximate ellipse centered on (28.2, 25), and the long axis was parallel to the working face, and the maximum temperature was 43.9 °C. The research results are expected to provide reference for the early prediction of spontaneous combustion in gob.

ABSTRACT This article, an excerpt from my forthcoming book, Translation and the Rediscovery of Rhetoric, traces the surprising role of translation and of translatio (the medieval trope referring to the transfer of knowledge across time and space) in the story of Chaïm Perelman and Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca’s turn to rhetoric. Neither Perelman nor Olbrechts-Tyteca were well versed in the French tradition of rhetoric as poetics. However, in two lectures Perelman gave late in his life, he offered a surprising description of the influence of Jean Paulhan, the French literary critic and long-time director of the Nouvelle Revue française, and of thirteenth-century Italian author and notary Brunetto Latini, on the turn to rhetoric. In addition, this essay situates these lectures as a critical response to the claim made by three important French thinkers, Paul Ricoeur, Roland Barthes, and Gérard Genette, that they had recovered rhetoric for the study of expression and thus as poetics.

However, in two lectures Perelman gave late in his life, he offered a surprising description of the influence of Jean Paulhan, the French literary critic and long-time director of the Nouvelle Revue française, and of thirteenth-century Italian author and notary Brunetto Latini, on the turn to rhetoric. In addition, this essay situates these lectures as a critical response to the claim made by three important French thinkers, Paul Ricoeur, Roland Barthes, and Gérard Genette, that they had recovered rhetoric for the study of expression and thus as poetics.","PeriodicalId":38049,"journal":{"name":"Advances in the History of Rhetoric","volume":"22 1","pages":"276 - 289"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15362426.2019.1671701","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41636713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT An analysis of Stokely Carmichael’s dissociation of “racism” attempted at UC Berkeley on October 29, 1966 extends the utility of Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca’s “dissociation of concepts” for those seeking racial justice. I offer a new term “subversive dissociations” to theorize the foundations of racist dominant narratives as what Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca call “linguistic common property.” This move reframes dissociative challenges to dominant narratives as attempts to counter other dissociations and thus makes available a set of tools outlined in The New Rhetoric for that purpose. Dissociation emerges as a dynamic anti-racist strategy.
