Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Modern reception of Senecas tragedies is dominated by the opposition between rhetoric and theater, and between philosophy and literature. This study aims at overcoming such dualistic thinking. This is achieved mainly with the help of an analysis of the rhetorical mechanisms meant to transform the visually overwhelming effect of Senecas rhetoric into a cognitive process. Senecas rhetoric of vision is subsequently considered both in the context of the visual aesthetics of the Roman Empire as well as in the scope of Senecas philosophical oeuvre. As a result, this volume provides a differentiated portrait of a Seneca tragicus whose rhetoric is deeply theatrical, whose dramatic vigor can only develop its power thanks to his static rhetoric, who uses literary allusions for philosophical purposes, and who remains essentially a poet, especially in his most philosophical moments. German text.

English summary: Modern reception of Seneca’s tragedies is dominated by the opposition between rhetoric and theater, and between philosophy and literature. This study aims at overcoming such dualistic thinking. This is achieved mainly with the help of an analysis of the rhetorical mechanisms meant to transform the visually overwhelming effect of Seneca’s rhetoric into a cognitive process. Seneca’s rhetoric of vision is subsequently considered both in the context of the visual aesthetics of the Roman Empire as well as in the scope of Seneca’s philosophical oeuvre. As a result, this volume provides a differentiated portrait of a ‘Seneca tragicus’ whose rhetoric is deeply theatrical, whose dramatic vigor can only develop its power thanks to his static rhetoric, who uses literary allusions for philosophical purposes, and who remains essentially a poet, especially in his most philosophical moments. German description: Die moderne Rezeption der Tragodien Senecas wird von den Oppositionen zwischen Rhetorik und Theater und zwischen Philosophie und Literatur dominiert. Die vorliegende Studie hat zum Ziel, dieses dualistische Denken zu uberwinden. Das gelingt vor allem durch eine Analyse der rhetorischen Mechanismen, die dazu dienen, den visuell uberwaltigenden Effekt der senecanischen Rhetorik in einen kognitiven Prozess zu transformieren. Senecas Rhetorik des Sehens wird anschliessend sowohl im Kontext der kaiserzeitlichen visuellen Asthetik als auch innerhalb von Senecas philosophischem Oeuvre betrachtet. Als Folge entsteht ein differenzierteres Portrat des ‘Seneca tragicus’, dessen Rhetorik zutiefst theatralisch ist, dessen dramatische Dynamik durch die statische Rhetorik ihre Kraft uberhaupt erst entfalten kann, der literarische Anspielungen zu philosophischen Zwecken verwendet und gerade in seinen philosophischsten Momenten vor allem ein Dichter bleibt.
