| Resumo: | The interaction and estrangements between history and rhetoric have never ceased to preoccupy historians and theorists of history, as well as orators, rhetoricians and philosophers. If in antiquity historical knowledge was so closely linked to rhetorical practice that it was possible to characterize ancient historiography as a “rhetorical history”, in modern times this legacy has produced significant debates, particularly since the 1970s – a period commonly known as “linguistic turn”, but also suggestively referred to as the “rhetorical turn”. It is thus clear that from antiquity until the present day, history and rhetoric have been subjected to both periods of reconciliation and interaction, as well as periods of separation and alienation. The goal of this paper is to delineate, from a contemporary perspective, two distinct approaches to the relationship between historical and rhetorical knowledge. In the 1980s, Arnaldo Momigliano attempted to deny Hayden White's contributions about this topic, rejecting any link between history and rhetoric. Paul Ricoeur returned to this subject during the next decade, presenting new insights and ideas. In their responses to White, Momigliano and Ricoeur invoked two very different conceptions of history and rhetoric. It would not be an exaggeration to suggest that they also dealt with two different Aristotles. |
