This Wednesday, the Eloquentia Perfecta group met to discuss what roles to individually take on. Alejandra is taking on the role of notetaker/timekeeper, Liam is our communicator, Hayley will be organizing the content and I will be the designated researcher. We plan to take on section 3 of our wiki page which is the Modern Times section. In addition to this, we also plan to add more important people from the Modern era as well (Module 4). We will also be editing Module 1 which is the history of Eloquentia Perfecta. Our main plan is to be able to distinctly frame what comes under Modern times and History without having any overlap. In addition to this, we also plan on editing citations that need further sources. Our group feels that touching on three modules within the page is a good amount of work along with the various citations edits we will make along our way.

Gannett, Cinthia, and John C. Brereton. “INTRODUCTION: THE JESUITS AND RHETORICAL STUDIES—LOOKING BACKWARD, MOVING FORWARD.” Traditions of Eloquence: The Jesuits and Modern Rhetorical Studies, edited by CINTHIA GANNETT and JOHN C. BRERETON, Fordham University Press, New York, 2016, pp. 1–36. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt1bmzkwq.5.

In this chapter of this book, Gannett and Brereton explore the “series of perspectives” derived from centuries of Jesuit teachings. This chapter highlights the beginnings of Jesuit rhetoric in schools and colleges across the board. Specifically, this chapter talks about classical and renaissance versions of eloquentia perfecta and how those versions shaped the idea we know today. I feel like I will use this reading in order to gain an insight into the history of eloquentia perfecta as a concept, but also understand where the authors believe this teaching is going in the future. The future direction of this Jesuit rhetorical technique will be very important to the Wikipedia entry I make.

Mailloux, S. Jesuit Eloquentia Perfecta and Theotropic Logology. Stud Philos Educ 34, 403–412 (2015). https://doi.org/10.1007/s11217-014-9435-2

This essay takes a pragmatist approach to questions concerning educational practices. It starts with talking about the current challenges facing rhetorical education and then placing these challenges in context for the reader to further understand. In addition to this, the essay highlights Kenneth Burke’s dramatism and logology to underscore the importance of eloquentia perfecta. The essay provides a good theoretical framework for understanding eloquentia perfecta and talks about practical examples that can be applied to classrooms today. I believe that the practical approach to this essay will further aid my wikipedia entry as I will be able to highlight challenges and provide posed solutions based on Mailloux’s essay.

Gannett, Cinthia. “THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS OF ELOQUENTIA PERFECTA IN TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY JESUIT HIGHER EDUCATION.” Traditions of Eloquence: The Jesuits and Modern Rhetorical Studies, edited by CINTHIA GANNETT and JOHN C. BRERETON, Fordham University Press, New York, 2016, pp. 277–305. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt1bmzkwq.25.

This chapter from “Traditions of Eloquence: The Jesuits and Modern Rhetorical Studies” talks about a 21st century approach to eloquentia perfecta. Specifically, Gannett highlights the everchanging new technologies, and how to navigate them in the space of higher education. Media is also changing how students learn, and this effecting the values which they deem important to their learning. Furthermore, this article talks about how we can benefit from using technology while practicing the ideals in eloquentia perfecta. I believe that this chapter will be extremely useful during my entry as I’d like to talk about the future direction of this Jesuit theory and how academics are shaping it in a digital age today.

I think working on three sections sounds perfectly reasonable Cathygaborusf (talk) 21:48, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
