Lene Rubinstein Litigation and CooperationSupporting Speakers in the Courts of Classical Athens
1. Auflage 2000. KurztextHaving demonstrated that about a third of the speeches in our corpus of forensic oratory were written for delivery by synegoroi rather than main parties, the author investigates the way in which synegoroi and main parties divided the argumentation between them in individual cases.She shows that trials of major political importance were conducted by teams of pleaders, and she concludes that such legal actions are best understood as team-based contests rather than as rhetorical confrontations between individual members of the Athenian élite. The implications of this for our overall understanding of the Athenian democracy and the political part played by the courts are discussed, and it is suggested as a possibility that team-based public actions offered a wider scope for participation by ordinary citizens than is normally allowed by modern historians. "Rubinsteins Thesen sind Ergebnis einer souveränen Arbeit mit Quellen, deren Verständnis von alten Schablonen befreit wird. […] Sie zeigt mit einem beeindruckenden Werk, wie sich das Schauspiel vor dem genannten Richterpublikum gestaltet." Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichte "…flüssig geschrieben, klar gegliedert und einsichtig argumentierend…" Das Historisch-Politische Buch "Moreover, she covers her subject with rigour and good judgement. Not only is the phenomenon of the synegoria very thoroughly treated, but many interesting points are made along the way. […] this book is more than a comprehensive collection and analysis of the evidence of the synegoroi. It also makes a provocative contribution to current debates about the relationship between mass and elite in the public life of Athens." Phoenix "Für jeden Forscher, der sich künftig mit Reden und Prozessen, in denen Synegorie eine Rolle spielt, befassen wird, ist dieses Buch Pflichtlektüre." Gnomon |
