About this book

From antiquity until the twentieth century, rhetorical training was exclusively concerned with forming male speakers as well as producing an explicitly masculine speaking style and method. This study focuses on such body and gender-specific training by analyzing the actio doctrine. The book also demonstrates how the “transformation” of rhetoric in the eighteenth century was accompanied for the first time by a discursive shift: gesture, imitation, voice, and dress guidelines were adapted for use with both genders in general education and to teach the art of conversation.

Reviews

"Es ist Lily Tonger-Erk hoch anzurechnen, dass sie der Versuchung bewusst wiedersteht, eine ›große Erzählung‹ anzubieten. So geht es der theoretisch avancierten und historisch-systematisch informierten Studie nicht darum, eine Konstante der unterdrückten weiblichen Rede zu konstruieren. Vielmehr weist Tonger-Erk gerade auf die »veränderliche rhetorische Konstruktion der Geschlechterdifferenz« hin."
Irmtraud Hnilica in: http://www.iaslonline.de/index.php?vorgang_id=3763

"Lily Tonger-Erk hat mit „Actio“ eine instruktive Untersuchung zu „Körper und Geschlecht in der Rhetoriklehre“ vorgelegt."
Rolf Löchel in: www.literaturkritik.de
