Abstract

As a metaphorical engine, the main purpose of Cultural Rhetoric is the achievement of a new Cultural Hegemony where all citizens of a culture, including the Others, can be represented without exception. That was John Chrysostom´s mission as a preacher and Patriarch of Constantinople. Starting from Rhetorica Recepta, John Chrysostom´s homilies, epistles and speeches were the seed of what nowadays is conceived as Cultural Rhetoric, whose objective is the eloquence of a fully represented society, whose identity as a community is unifying and permanent.
