Intrigas palacianas nos Annales de Tácito : processos e tentativas de obtenção de poder no principado de Tibério : estudo retórico
| Resumo: | The Annales of Tacitus are a reflex of a society whose political model had suffered an enormous change. A society trying to adapt itself to a new regime dominated by principes that ascended to power as a result of behind closed doors'actions. Simulation is the most visible characteristic. Characters act deceivably in a regime that was by itself one of cosmetics. Having that in mind, and being conscious that the writing of history is no strange to the categories of the literary narrative, this study intents to treat the intrigues and betrayals in order to identify the rhetorical processes in the narrative-descriptive framework and in the style of the author. This study does not have as a purpose the verification of the narrative's veracity in the historic and epistemological realm. It presents a rhetorical study of the text that Tacitus wrote. The study is divided in three chapters. The first one analyses the formal resemblances between historiography and literature that in the rhetorics know diverse layers. The second chapter deals with the most significant passages in which insidious actions are presented up to Book III. In the third chapter representative episodes of plots in the imperial court (in Book IV), that were a result of the actions of Tiberius' mighty ministry, Sejanus, and its sequacious followers, are studied. |
