 Glenn, Cheryl. "sex, lies, and manuscript: Refiguring Aspasia in the History of
\nRhetoric.” On Writing Research: The Braddock Essays, 1975-1998<\/i>.
\nEd. Lisa Ede. New York: Bedford St. Martin’s, 1999. 336-351. <\/p>\n

Big Idea
\n<\/b>Aspasia, a woman rhetorician from Miletus–what’s modern day Turkey–stood
\nin an improbable role during the heyday of the rhet-charged Greek polis<\/i>. 
\nA contemporary of the patriarchy of better-historicized–Pericles, Xenophon,
\nAeschines, Aristotle and Sophocles–Aspasia affected the public sphere and
\ncontributed, with notable influence, to the votary of male officials. 
\nCheryl Glenn’s 1995 Braddock-winning essay, invokes mapping metaphors to suggest
\ngendered displacements while appropriating Aspasia a legitimate place in the
\nrhetorical tradition.  The essay is necessarily encyclopedic; it also piles
\nthrough a fair amount of best-guesses, probabilities and likelihoods in a
\nsuccessful attempt to carve out historiographic room for Aspasia.  
\nGlenn’s work situates Aspasia in the context of heavily patriarchal rhetorical
\ntradition.  In doing so, she  exposes openings and possibilities in
\nthe sketchy historical record, and ends with a call for ongoing re-readings of
\nthe rhetorical tradition that ask questions about representation, absence and
\nsilence, and that accept Aspasia as a beacon for modern feminist scholarship in
\nrhetoric.<\/p>\n

Wondering About
\n<\/b>My foothold in classical rhetoric is shaky at its most stable.  Reading
\n"sex, lies, and manuscript" helped me see the tradition as a contested
\nrealm, and the trick for the scholar of classical rhetoric–it seems–is to
\nexplore the nebulous areas, to inquire about what’s missing and why, and to see
\nthe tradition anew by refreshing it with now-relevant questions.  It’s
\nclear I need to spend more time with B&H’s The Rhetorical Tradition<\/i>;
\nI’ve plans to crack it later this summer.<\/p>\n

The "sex, lies, and manuscript" reference gets explained later in
\nGlenn’s essay (or is it in the afternote?).  I never saw the movie sex,
\nlies, and videotape<\/a><\/i>, so the allusion was a stretch.  I think it
\nmight have come across more resolutely for readers ten years ago, but the
\nreference didn’t seem adequately sustained, sufficiently built-in for
\nme–especially for the juxtaposition of manuscript<\/i> and videotape<\/i>.
\nProbably would make better sense if I checked out the movie, eh?<\/p>\n

I wondered how differently each of the characterizations–"[one who]
\nventured out into the common land, [one who] distinguished herself by her
\nrhetorical accomplishments, her sexual attachment to Pericles, and her public
\nparticipation in political affairs"–rolled together to give Aspasia a
\nsingle sense of persona.  For that matter, did Glenn find these overlapping
\nidentities competing?  Manipulable? Exclusive?  It’s not easy to say
\nwith precision, but especially in the places where Glenn needles at Pericles’
\nlegitimacy (suggesting, basically, that "Aspasia surely must have
\ninfluenced Pericles in the composition of those speeches that both established
\nhim as a persuasive speaker and informed him as the most respected
\ncitizen-orator of the age" (342)), I had the sense that the unverifiability
\nof it all encroached on Glenn’s argument. And, of course, I recognize that this
\nalso points to an imperfect historical record and the difficulties of writing
\nacross +\/- 2,500 years. <\/p>\n

I picked up a few terms that I’d heard before (some of them, anyway), but
\nthat I hadn’t explored lately:  arete<\/i> and homonoia<\/i>.  As
\nGlenn casts them, arete<\/i> tends toward an elite sense of governance by
\nvirtue–a kind of oligarchic\/aristocratic democracy, whereas homonoia<\/i>
\ncalled for virtue by all, no matter gender or social class, for the good of the
\nentire democratized polity.  According to Glenn, "Thus was manifested
\nthe complex tension between the elitist arete<\/i> and a more democratic homonoia<\/i>. 
\nAnother useful term was panhellenism<\/i>, which points to "a doctrine
\nsorely needed to to unify the Greek city-states, just as it satiated the male
\nappetite for public display."  The term is used in a way that might
\nallow something like diversity<\/i> or heterogeneity<\/i> (especially in
\nrelationships, I guess) stand in its place.  And the last noteworthy term
\nis consubstantiality<\/i>.  The funeral orations aspired to this
\nattribute of consubstantiality, which basically means that the experience–the
\nrhetorical effect–would be replicated throughout time, so "the shared
\nexperience of this rhetorical ritual linked [!] everyone present even as it
\nconnected them ‘with other audiences in the past’ (Mackin 251)"
\n(344).  Consubstantiality.  Consubstantiality<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Passages
\n<\/b>"Such challenges not only restore women to rhetorical history and
\nrhetorical history to women, but the restoration itself revitalizes theory by
\nshaking the conceptual foundations of rhetorical study" (336). <\/p>\n

"When other women were systematically relegated to the domestic sphere,
\nAspasia seems to have been the only woman in classical Greece to have
\ndistinguished herself in the public domain" (338).<\/p>\n

"By every historical account, Aspasia ventured out into the common land,
\ndistinguished herself by her rhetorical accomplishments, her sexual attachment
\nto Pericles, and her public participation in political affairs"
\n(339). <\/p>\n

"The Menexenus<\/i> contains Plato’s version of Socrates’ version of
\nAspasia’s version of Pericles’ Funeral Oration, further recognition of Aspasia’s
\nreputation as rhetorician, philosopher, and as influential colleague in the
\nSophistic movement, a movement devoted to the analysis and creation of
\nrhetoric–and of truth" (344). <\/p>\n

"Jarratt explains the sophistic rhetorical technique and its
\nsocial-constructionist underpinning with her definition of nomos<\/i> as a
\n‘self-conscious arrangement of discourse to create politically and socially
\nsignificant knowledge…thus it is always a social construct with ethical
\ndimensions’ (60)" (345).<\/p>\n

"Our first obligation, then, as rhetorical scholars is to look backwards
\nat all the unquestioned scholarship that has come before; then, we must begin to
\nre-map our notion of rhetorical history. By simply choosing which men and women
\nto show and how to represent them, we subtly shape the perceptions of our
\nprofession, enabling the profession to recognize and remember–or to forget–the
\nobvious and not-so-obvious women on our intellectual landscape" (349).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
