Abstract

From the argumentative analysis of different art reviews of academic circulation, the text highlights the importance of integrating aspects related to the ethos and pathos in the interpretation of the arguments. The paper also illustrates the relationships between these arguments, the rhetorical figures employed and the social representations inferred from the studied texts. The conclusions show that each argument bears a representation of the art world, the role of critic and public place, that the argumentative analysis made from the rhetoric perspective can show.
