and political theory with his interest in voice, he moved on to rhetoric

Rhetoric

From Voice to Rhetoric

In the 1980s, in France, the field of rhetoric was being reshaped by Marc Fumaroli

Marc Fumaroli

Marc Fumaroli was born June 10, 1932 in Marseille. A historian and essayist, he was elected to the Académie française March 2, 1995 and became its Director. He is also a member of the Académie des Inscriptions, the sister academy devoted to high erudition...

both as a critique of structuralism and American-style cultural studies, and as a new turn given to the mainstay of French literary culture – « Les Classiques » (roughly speaking, from Montaigne to Proust). Fumaroli fostered a new conception of French literary and political culture, showing how High Church rhetoric and its institutions had been appropriated by a centralized monarchy and then a secularized Republic. For thirty years Fumaroli’s work was to influence deeply cultural studies and give it an international reputation that is still today a matter for heated controversies.

Fumaroli became Salazar's adviser for a senior doctoral dissertation (or Doctorat d’Etat, a prestigious degree since disestablished, due to European Union rules). This investigation in oral culture of the French classical age was later published as Le Culte de la Voix au 17e Siècle).

In the mid-90s, Salazar organized a colloquium at Centre culturel international de Cerisy-la-Salle

Centre culturel international de Cerisy-la-Salle

The Château de Cerisy-la-Salle, located in the French commune of Cerisy-la-Salle , hosts the Centre culturel international de Cerisy-la-Salle , a prestigious venue for intellectual and scholarly encounters founded in 1952 by Anne Heurgon-Desjardins...

to mark Fumaroli’s international ascendancy in rhetoric, later followed by an edited a volume of essays whereby leading "second generation" rhetoric scholars took stock of what the French school had achieved since Fumaroli’s seminal Age de l’Eloquence. During this phase, Salazar published or edited key documents of the French cultural tradition, including Charles Alphonse du Fresnoy

However, his sustained interest in politics and public rhetoric had already resulted in early essay on the rhetorical framing of French sociology, part of a British collective project on "the recovery of rhetoric," and is now regarded as having broken new ground in the historiography of the social sciences. Salazar relinquished the Tours Chair and took up a Distinguished Professorship in Rhetoric and Humane Letters at the University of Cape Town, South Africa (2000) where he began to develop a new field of enquiry: rhetoric studies applied to the practice and theory of public affairs. At that time (1999) he was elected to a sought after directorship in Rhetoric and Democracy at Jacques Derrida’s Foundation, Collège international de philosophie
