"Traviata with ... onions"

A stand-up-Opera based on the tear-jerking story of Giuseppe Verdi's beloved heroine, guaranteed to have you crying with laughter.

Thessaloniki stand-up comedian, Eva Athanasopoulou, delightfully narrates the story of Violetta Valery, accompanied on stage by Glykeria Roilidi and Aristotles Chaitidis, portraying the soprano and tenor roles. Throughout the one hour show, the audience will enjoy a crash course in opera, listening to excerpts from La Traviata, all without fear of being labeled a culture snob! Stand-up comedy is merges with opera and we are all in for it! If you are still convinced you don't like opera, that you would never attend a screaming show and all the drama means nothing to you, then this show is perfect fit! Thessaloniki stand-up needs no introduction; it's gyros pie with everything, baby!

The concept and implementation are brought to you by Aristoteles Chaitidis.

Manipulative Rhetorik als Politische Performance

WS 2022/2023, LMU, Institut für Neogräzistik

 

Manipulative Rhetorik lässt sich buchstäblich in jedem öffentlichen und privaten Bereich nachweisen. Sie findet sich in der Literatur ebenso wie in der spachbasierten Realität unseres Alltags.

 

Mit Methoden der Literaturwissenschaft spüren wir Techniken der Manipulativen Rede nach. Dazu lesen wir Reden griechischer Diktatoren, rekonstruieren die Kommunikationssituationen und spüren der historisch bedingten Affektstrategie der Reden nach. Mithilfe der linguistischen Teildisziplin der Pragmatik erarbeiten wir uns Werkzeuge, um die Funktionsweisen der Verführung (Versprechung und Täuschung) zu erklären.
