Description
Summary:Text and image: the proximity between these notions is inscribed in a rhetoric perspective through one decisive notion: the evidence (enargeia / euidentia). This notion is indeed at the crossroads of text and image since it denotes the rhetoric process through which the text becomes visual and expressive enough to place the scene or the object described under the listener’s or reader’s eyes, who thus becomes a witness. This article aims to explore the notion of evidence to point the rhetoric links between text and image in the Imperial age from both theorical and practical points of view: in the latter case, one philosophical work is mainly studied, which establishes a very close link between text and image: Seneca’s De clementia, introduced by the metaphor of the mirror, which reveals philosophical and political stakes of the rhetoric of image.
