In conversation, business transactions, politics, literature, philosophy, and even love, the art of expressing more than what is explicitly said allows us to live and move in the world. But rarely do we reflect on this subterranean dimension of communication. Words don't just say what they say, and often we can understand (as listeners) and convey (as speakers) more, or something else entirely, than what is expressly said. Every day, we send out double-meaning messages and decipher those sent to us by others, without even taking notice. Greco-Roman rhetoric provides invaluable theoretical tools for thinking about this phenomenon, notably with the rhetorical notion of “figured speech”. History offers striking examples of the use of innuendo in ancient and modern political contexts. In personal and public life, veiled speech has many functions, including diplomatic, poetic, humorous and polemical. It also raises difficulties, as it carries the risk of misunderstanding. Criteria can therefore be proposed to remedy uncertainty and guarantee interpretation.</div> Renaissance Faculty of Arts Postgraduate Show on homepage Undergraduate rhetoric philosophy PGR research PGT research Rome Latin Literature Greek literature Roman history politics Thu, 24 Apr 2025 11:59:00 GMT 8ac672c7965b71d9019667ab018b2640 /fac/arts/classics/news/?newsItem=8ac672c595414a71019541f0bf2e089b <p>In February's Material Musings blog article, Noah Fenwick discusses a mosaic depicting the four seasons and its display in the Yorkshire Museum, in an article titled: 'Perspectives of Perusal: The Yorkshire Museum's Four Seasons Mosaic'.</p> <p>You can read it here: <a href="/fac/arts/classics/research/publicengagementimpact/material_musings/2025/#February">here</a></p> Wed, 26 Feb 2025 11:07:00 GMT 8ac672c595414a71019541f0bf2e089b /fac/arts/classics/news/?newsItem=8ac672c591fdee810192058c6b52480b <p>New for September on the Material Musings blog, Jurriaan Gouw discusses changes to Greek warfare in the 5th-4th centuries BC and the development of the Macedonian phalanx, in an article entitled 'Less is More: The Transition from Hoplite to Phalangite'.</p> <p>You can read it <a href="/fac/arts/classics/research/publicengagementimpact/material_musings/2024/#September">here</a>.</p> Wed, 18 Sep 2024 14:32:00 GMT 8ac672c591fdee810192058c6b52480b /fac/arts/classics/news/?newsItem=8a17841b90dfc0600190e9950b38234c <p>July's article on the Material Musings blog is by <span class="html-span xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x1hl2dhg x16tdsg8 x1vvkbs"><a attributionsrc="/privacy_sandbox/comet/register/source/?xt=AZXkQCjZzOKdU4y5Qrr5TU4z0Uov1y87Or4oQMSi_NLubccXsoYe_pnCaI7jQ4tlxBYvmqqfMdvgbcpUaM5RLHSOO_JzA3XVf6nm9bqeEuSBsnCW71Zeu6W58C5rOjZf8-eENoS-t0Q2MpKzVWhn6SY5VCCbgS0-qY3qkQPSuxua49sXKoXzZSZX87n4ECklMjgykxEOER2tERIaW4RML3ZKMO_SQ-fqL_GcUR_kBJTYmK6CPj7w7Yv1RAKiWvDfnoCRnmRjqcN6CYwRJPzlEye2xTL5mnFAemFnUoclsOucpl8lBMh-BW6I7w9j8M-NRBhmXAN5mDwE2-23GE6eKEzY2NtufA8zAqpzM7eH8i3TsUYZ49MxuoDRz9om8lxvB4iIwjwh0MOjaqVq2mGHK6Rz_-jgN4mk4FGCaz-L4dYciCkcMg3cZKyK0cKUL6wvnnKrqqUPZw_HxYBfT30FwQpOFT3jF27PlmBxeuo3My0GFRox-2zu4zLtAjkbb1QDetsUWqDZaf-pT3ZEGDAeRZXOGxWV-iNbPfwQefi_IRr5nbHB1EzqYfr6i7RI4olxqxIptZ0ZSJ5VhmoTGyRi85IUrZLS4J9yYEvsJ8WtYE2hk4XTCsbMCOmlWEuSEUa5-Tg" class="x1i10hfl xjbqb8w x1ejq31n xd10rxx x1sy0etr x17r0tee x972fbf xcfux6l x1qhh985 xm0m39n x9f619 x1ypdohk xt0psk2 xe8uvvx xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x16tdsg8 x1hl2dhg xggy1nq x1a2a7pz x1sur9pj xkrqix3 x1fey0fg xo1l8bm" href="https://www.facebook.com/chris.parr.9277?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZVfruTOP5bRcd5DbpF1oIKE-mKJCvXy3KVye112r875HRfOEAz1Oca7NB39H6HpEc3R502e1B2ImvaxDUJrvQc_g1EK2VEMks3hmW1i-Ws1TAcy2cgwqaZGvWrxGhpIFp6mtcyv2TojlO3v9pAtBn_XXzWKsrzh7C4SL6LrXO1IUg&amp;__tn__=-%5DK-R" role="link" style="color: var(--blue-link); cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none; text-decoration-color: initial; list-style: none; margin: 0px; text-align: inherit; border-style: none; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; outline: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; touch-action: manipulation; display: inline; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="0">Chris Parr</a></span>, who discusses the origins of the <em>Lacus Curtius</em> in the<em> Forum Romanum</em>: 'Reinventing Rome's Forgotten Past - the lost significance of the <em>Lacus Curtius</em>'.
