Rhetoric and international relations : an introduction

Salazar, Philippe Joseph (author)

A rhetorical interpretation of international relations and conflicts necessitate to take into consideration three main aspects of what anthropologist Mauss called "international life" - cultural features that allow human groupings to argue with one another across borders. The first aspect concerns the instability of international glossaries to instrument diplomacy; the second aspect is the pre-conceived notion that peace, or non-conflicting "relation," is a normal state for arguing among nations; the third aspect pertains to the belief that, owing to globalisation, the same modes of persuasion operate indiscriminately. The French Revolution provides an excellent illustration of all three aspects.

Abstract

Retorična interpretacija mednarodnih odnosov in konfliktov mora upoštevati tri ključne vidike "mednarodnega življenja", kot ga je poimenoval antropolog Mauss - kulturnih potez, ki omogočajo družbenim skupinam "čezmejno" razpravljanje. Prvi vidik zadeva nestabilnost mednarodnih besednjakov za instrumentiranje diplomacije; drugi vidik zadeva apriorno idejo, da je mir oz. nekonflikten "odnos" normalno stanje za razpravljanje med narodi; tretji vidik zadeva prepričanje da zaradi globalizacije povsod delujejo enaki načini prepričevanja. Francoska revolucija služi kot izvrstna ilustracija za vse tri primere.
