Quintilian’s notion of imitation is often acclaimed for its focus on invention and appropriateness and for highlighting attunement to individual talent. Yet these aspects tend to be somewhat neglected in the practice of imitation as shaped by the classical rhetorical tradition, which primarily focuses on imitation exercises for beginners.

I analyse central passages from recent curricula and a course on argumentation from the most used learning material in Denmark within the subject of Danish. The analysis is framed by the wo
Sankthansaften er en festlig aften, og i Danmark forbundet med sang og båltaler, der holdes af et mangefold af personer, byrådsmedlemmer, præster og forfattere. Særligt forfatteres båltaler trykkes ofte samtidig i en avis. Hvorfor holder forfattere båltaler? Og hvilke emner, pointer og træk er typisk på spil? I hvert fald ikke kun skønhed og harmoni. Som bekendt forbindes den epideitiske tale med

Abstract in Danish:I artiklen argumenterer jeg for, at rejseskildringen – et typisk eksempel på litterær sagrosa – indeholder en central topos kropslig controversia.
