摘要:Este artículo se propone analizar los mecanismos rectores de uno de los recursos persuasivos más lábiles y sutiles de la Retórica antigua: la insinuatio. Para ello, se toma como ejemplo el proemio de Lisias III, por tratarse de un discurso apologético encuadrable dentro del turpe genus, es decir, el grado mínimo de defendibilidad de una causa. Lisias debe dar la vuelta a los prejuicios del jurado con una cuidada captatio beneuolentiae, que evite la alusión directa a los muchos puntos flacos de su cliente. Su proemio se basa enteramente en una retórica negativa o del silencio, característica de la insinuatio: los métodos tácitos de persuasión y una sutil pragmática de las implicaturas consiguen influir en el subconsciente del auditorio y alterar la polaridad de sus prejuicios mediante un juego implícito de identificaciones con determinadas instancias ficcionales emanadas de la polifonía del discurso. Dissimulatio e insinuatio se aúnan para dar forma a una retórica de lo no proferido, una suerte de oratoria negativa cuyo detenido estudio revela una incuestionable modernidad.↓This paper aims to analyse the guiding mechanisms behind one of the most evasive and subtle persuasive resources of ancient Rhetoric: the insinuatio. To this end, we take the proemium of Lysias III as an ideal example: in fact, this defence speech can be placed within the turpe genus, that is to say, the lowest degree of defensibility. Lysias has to cause a volte-face in the Jury’s prejudices by means of a thorough captatio beneuolentiae, avoiding any direct allusion to his client’s many weak points. Lysias’ proemium is entirely based on a negative or silent rhetoric, which is typical of insinuatio: these tacit means of persuasion and a subtle pragmatics of implication enable Lysias to influence the subconscious of his audience and change the polarity of their many prejudices. All these goals can be achieved by means of an implicit game of identification with certain fictional entities emanating from the polyphony of the speech. Dissimulatio and insinuatio come together in order to shape a rhetoric of non-utterance, a kind of negative oratory, whose unquestionable modernity could be easily revealed by a careful study.
