Rhetoric in China, between orality and the written word
This article aims to examine one of the first translations and definitions of rhetoric in China by the Italian Jesuit Giulio Aleni (1582-1649), who composed a treatise usually translated as Summary of Western Learning (Xixue fan) (Hangzhou, 1623). At the same time, an analysis of this Summary raises...

I10-R362-article-363802022-07-05T18:16:24Z Rhetoric in China, between orality and the written word La retórica en el mundo chino, entre la oralidad y la escritura Hosne, Ana Carolina Rhetoric China Xixue fan Aleni Retórica China Xixue fan Aleni This article aims to examine one of the first translations and definitions of rhetoric in China by the Italian Jesuit Giulio Aleni (1582-1649), who composed a treatise usually translated as Summary of Western Learning (Xixue fan) (Hangzhou, 1623). At the same time, an analysis of this Summary raises other issues that are here examined. One in particular is the contention by several academics in the field of Chinese studies of what they believe is a “monopoly” of rhetoric by the West, as they claim the existence of rhetoric in ancient China. This article studies the treatise Xixue fan with a focus on the definition and explanation of rhetoric as a field of knowledge from the West, and it also engages in the analysis of different academic works claiming the existence of a Chinese rhetoric. Its final purpose is to reflect on rhetoric in between two worlds, the European and the Chinese, weighing on orality and the written word. Este artículo se centra en el análisis de una de las primeras traducciones y definiciones de la retórica en China hechas por un jesuita italiano, Giulio Aleni (1582-1649), en su tratado el Compendio de Saberes de Occidente (Xixue fan) (Hangzhou, 1623). Al mismo tiempo, el análisis de este tratado nos remite a otras problemáticas. Nos referimos, sobre todo, a un debate que ocupó a un grupo considerable de académicos en el área de estudios chinos, que objetan el “monopolio” de la retórica por parte del mundo occidental, ya que sostienen que también hubo una retórica en China desde el período pre-imperial. A partir del tratado Xixue fan de Aleni, así como del análisis de los estudios partidarios de la existencia de la retórica en China, este artículo se propone reflexionar sobre su existencia entre dos mundos, el europeo y el chino, en una tensión entre la oralidad y la escritura.
