El Eutidemo de Jenofonte (Memorabilia IV 2): un ensayo de macroretórica [ 2016 ]

This paper, originally written and printed in Italian, has been translated into French, then into Portuguese, and now into Spanish. The present translation has been printed as part of "Quadripartita Ratio", 1.2016 (http://www.revistascientificas.udg.mx/index.php/CRRAR/issue/view/539/showToc).As to  macro-rhetoric, there is a book of mine interely devoted to this topic (1994 Italian; 2009 Spanish). My main claim is that every attempt to communicate sth to sbody implies the choice of a strategy and then the choice of a number of details meant to be as functional as possible. These ideas, in turn, are helpful in order to attain a better understanding of complex text units. It may be considered a holistic rhetoric, as it concentrates on the logic of a whole. Far from being descriptive or classificatory, this sort of rhetoric goes in search of the aims (the logic of an action, a discourse, a speaker, a whole, a part...) and then pays head to the functions details are expected to play in a given context.
