Накратко на български
Риторичната техника за създаване на „живи“ образи (енаргия) се проследява от античните текстове до съвременните филми и видеоигри. Това помага за развиване на критично мислене, за да не бъде историята лесно изкривявана или манипулирана чрез съвременни технологии.

“Placing history before the eyes: enargeia and ekphrasis from ancient historiography to contemporary historical representations”
The project aimed at studying the uses of a rhetorical technique, enargeia or “vividness”, in ancient Greek and Latin historians contemporary to the Second Sophistic (I-III centuries AD) and to our main sources on rhetorical training in Antiquity. It also aimed at establishing parallels with contemporary uses of enargeia in modern historical representations (speeches, movies, video games) and at creating and testing exercises and pedagogical activities based on this technique, in order to develop critical consciousness of its use. Developing such critical eye on modern historical representations (movies, video games,etc.) is of crucial importance, as history may be easily deformed or manipulated through modern technologies. The project had to be terminated earlier due to the obtention of a permanent position in a French university (which was a possibility anticipated in the career development plan). During the actual duration of the fellowship (16 months), research focused on rhetorical sources on enargeia and related bibliography and explored all relevant Greek sources. Concomitantly, a partnership was created with a local high school and high school teacher, in order to prepare and undertake pedagogical experiments, which took place from March to May 2023.

Цел на проекта
Can we transmit visions of the past? Contrary to the modern conception of scientific history, ancient historiography was supposed to reflect the past in such a vivid way that the reader could visualise it, feel impressions, so that she/he could memorise it and learn lessons from it. Such an effect, called enargeia, was also considered as a rhetorical technique, thought to arouse emotions and to help to orient the vision of the audience, and was consequently practiced in rhetorical exercises; this property brought ancient history close to literature, fiction and persuasion. But a similar visual dimension is also present in wide-spread and popular modern forms (novels, comics, documentaries) and uses (public speeches, museography) of history. This interesting parallel between ancient and modern practice can be used to investigate the effects (on the audience) of various forms of historical representation and their links with argumentation and persuasion thanks to the ancient concepts and tools and through an interdisciplinary approach. The first challenge of this research project, which I will conduct under the supervision of Ruth Webb (University of Lille, France), will be to study the practice of enargeia in ancient historiography (especially during the periods when enargeia was a part of rhetorical instruction), in order to identify its uses and functions and how it brings about persuasion. The next challenge will be to find modern uses of enargeia and to conceive pedagogical tools to unveil this dimension through practice and to develop a critical eye on the various ways of representing history.
