160. Free association : Libertas, metaphor and the politics of Cicero

Author

Lundy, Steven James

Subjects
History of liberty, Republic of Rome, Civil rights in ancient Rome, Civil rights, Cicero, Plautus
Abstract

Libertas is a notion central to the politics and culture of the Roman Republic, yet commentators have found difficulty in interpreting the word and giving a coherent and cohesive account of its semantic and rhetorical content. This report attempts to throw further light on the discussion by examining the conceptual and rhetorical content of libertas, incorporating a substantial study of its metaphorical structures following the linguistic and cognitive work of George Lakoff. The central texts under discussion are: the comic plays of Plautus, which offer an insight into libertas in its "source domain"; the epistolary corpus of Cicero, which is used as a basis to study libertas in its political context and as a contrast to the final text under analysis: Cicero's De Lege Agraria 2.

History of liberty, Hull, Cordell, 1871-1955, Twentieth century, United States involvement in World War II
Abstract

US secretary of state Cordell Hull delivered this speech on all US radio networks on July 23, 1942, just weeks after the New York Times reported on the systematic mass murder of Jews in gas chambers at Chelmno, an extermination camp in Poland. The report was so shocking that at first many assumed the number of murdered Jews—seven hundred thousand—had been exaggerated or included those who had died of other causes. Though the murder of European Jews had been carried out fairly openly since the beginning of the war, the scale and nature of the killings—the systematic, state-supported murder of civilians—had not been widely known or reported. Hull's speech was one of many to look ahead to the world after the war and to advocate for international recognition, and protection, of human rights. All previous peacekeeping efforts had failed, he stated, and the world needed to ensure that once the brutal conflict was over, it would not be able to happen again. Winning the war was the most immediate concern, but for Hull and many others, the struggle was not between warring nations, but between good and evil, freedom and slavery. Though both German and Japanese leaders would be tried for crimes against humanity after the war, the Nazis' systematic slaughter of the Jews remains one of the most egregious violations of human rights in history.
