摘要

这是一个关于帝国panegyric的一些问题的调查。它包括对帝国礼赞理论和实践的讨论。证据来源于对西塞罗、昆蒂利安、普林尼、帕内格里奇·拉蒂尼、梅南德·瑞德和使徒朱利安的解读。特别令人感兴趣的是不真诚的演讲,人们会认为它不真诚。什么样的解释学过程最适合那些具有政治意义但与提供具体现实的忠实代表的义务相对脱节的文本?我们首先将外延视为一种类型。下一个话题是帝国赞美及其“难以置信”的状况,以及发表这种赞美的政治主体的自我定位。这导致人们对这些演讲者可能会告诉自己的行为的开脱罪责的虚构进行思考。凯撒主义的愤世嫉俗的哲学、它的任意性和它的建构性助长了这些小说。使徒朱利安最受关注:他写了关于凯撒的文章,发表了现存的赞美诗,他也是另一位赞美诗作者所称呼的人。最终,我们发现自己能够欣赏权力来源于虚伪,并在其存在下变得更加强大的方式。

Vérités et Mensonges
This is a survey of some of the problems surrounding imperial panegyric. It includes discussions of both the theory and practice of imperial praise. The evidence is derived from readings of Cicero, Quintilian, Pliny, the Panegyrici Latini, Menander Rhetor, and Julian the Apostate. Of particular interest is insincere speech that would be appreciated as insincere. What sort of hermeneutic process is best suited to texts that are politically consequential and yet relatively disconnected from any obligation to offer a faithful representation of concrete reality? We first look at epideictic as a genre. The next topic is imperial praise and its situation “beyond belief” as well as the self-positioning of a political subject who delivers such praise. This leads to a meditation on the exculpatory fictions that these speakers might tell themselves about their act. A cynical philosophy of Caesarism, its arbitrariness, and its constructedness abets these fictions. Julian the Apostate receives the most attention: he wrote about Caesars, he delivered extant panegyrics, and he is also the man addressed by still another panegyric. And in the end we find ourselves to be in a position to appreciate the way that power feeds off of insincerity and grows stronger in its presence.
