Il conflitto verbale tra membri dello stesso gruppo: il caso dell'Iliade.

Abstract

The issue of this paper is the ingroup verbal violence. The theoretical framework is the “rhetoric of dissensus”, a perspective which aims to understand the role and the modalities of polemical discourse in our argumentation practice. Using the Iliad as a paradigmatic case study, the paper mainly analyses cases where the ingroup verbal assault aims to encourage and incite violence. The analysis focuses on the perlocutionary effect of these speech acts.
