A Philological (and Rhetorical) Viewpoint VL - 11 IS - 2 PY - 2004 SN - 1854-8377 PB - EURICOM UR - https://javnost-thepublic.org/article/2004/2/1/ N2 - The word “censorship” is philologically rooted in a glossary of key notions that span across the spectrum of the paradigm of authority. Based on analyses by Émile Benveniste, from his Vocabulaire des institutions indo-européennes, this essay aims at bringing out the censorial denotations of “authority,” “war,” “award,” “direction,” as well as the embedded censorial dimension of, for instance, the rhetorical presidency. It closes on a reflexion concerning the censorial drift, within democracy, from demos to laos. U1 - Print ISSN: 1318-3222 ER -
