Resumo: We analyze the use of rhetorical resources in Ciceronian epistolary discourse through which the preserving the orator’s ethos was possible (MAINGUENEAU, 2014) during his exile (58-57 BC). Through their correspondence, Roman aristocrats of the final years of the Republic mediated their social relations at a distance, using letters as an alternative to personal interaction, whenever necessary. Considering that the absence (absentia) of an amicus could be considered problematic and that the delay in sending letters could cause problems for the Roman citizen ethos, Cicero used pathetici resources when figuring his exile to mitigate the potential damages of his infrequent writing. Thus, we selected excerpts from letters written by Cicero in his exile and analyzed how he used pathos for the preservation of his ethos by means of his epistolary discourse. Cicero's exile allowed him to write in a unique way, which subverted the expected behavior of an aristocrat by using his pathos.

A partir das correspondências, os aristocratas romanos dos fins da República mediavam suas relações sociais à distância, utilizando missivas para a substituição das interações pessoais nos momentos necessários. Considerando que a ausência (absentia) de amici poderia ser considerada problemática e que a demora ao enviar cartas poderia acarretar problemas ao éthos de um cidadão romano, Cícero se utilizou de recursos pathetici ao apropriar-se de seu exílio para mitigar os possíveis danos de sua escrita infrequente. Assim sendo, selecionamos trechos de cartas escritas por Cícero em seu exílio e analisamos como ele utilizou do páthos para a preservação de seu éthos no discurso epistolar. Concluímos que a situação do exílio permitiu uma escrita única, que pôde subverter as expectativas do comportamento de um aristocrata.Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora2021-12-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronai/article/view/3578310.34019/2318-3446.2021.v9.35783Rónai – Revista de Estudos Clássicos e Tradutórios; Vol. 9 No. 2 (2021); 22-42Rónai – Revista de Estudos Clássicos e Tradutórios; v. 9 n. 2 (2021); 22-422318-3446reponame:Rónaiinstname:Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)instacron:UFJFporhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronai/article/view/35783/23959Copyright (c) 2021 Alessandro Carvalho da Silva Oliveira, Camilla Ferreira Paulino da Silvahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Alessandro Carvalho da SilvaFerreira Paulino da Silva, Camilla2023-10-27T19:03:32Zoai:periodicos.ufjf.br:article/35783Revistahttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronaiPUBhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/ronai/oairevistaronai@gmail.comhttps://doi.org/10.34019/2318-34462318-34462318-3446opendoar:2024-05-03T12:01:07.978697Rónai - Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)true
