The discursive composition in Greco-Roman rhetoric and its projections on the models of the writing process
Keywords:
Classical Rhetoric, discursive composition, models of the writing process, writing didacticsAbstract
The writing process has become, from the last decades of the 20th century to the present, a dynamic field of research with various competing models. This work aims to investigate some variations and continuities present in the history of written composition, starting from the first conceptualizations of classical rhetoric, and to analyze the cultural-historical dimension of some current models. From a study of Greco-Latin rhetoric treatises, we understand that classical rhetoric elaborates for the first time an intellectual, processual conception of discursive composition, organized in distinctive stages, monitored by a conscious subject who controls its process and follows systematisable and transmittable norms through teaching. This view of the compositional method has continuity in the history of composition, particularly in some contemporary theories such as stage models of the writing process and cognitive theories.
