Introduzione fra passato e presente: strumenti visuali e immagini nel processo

Irregular persuasive strategies, such as the display of images, the exhibition of corpses, the use of objects, the choice and emphasis of the scenarios surrounding the speaker represent a theme that is not very focused in traditional studies on classical oratory, and that was usually neglected already by the ancient rhetorical treatises. However, these are eminently spectacular techniques, often borrowed from the theatre, which offer continuous and often unexpected opportunities for confrontation with the extraordinary power of images in the modern trial and in contemporary political communication.
