Abstract

[Mimetic theory and Plato’s allusions to rhetoric as a phantom influence the construction of the next neologism in the rhetorrectional situation. Once a rhetor has been affected by the haunting of felt absence, and closely examined the situation for anachronistic intertextual elements (the double kairos), the question as to how to pass on that haunting to an audience arises. To merely explain the spectral directly diminishes the potential of the spectral to affect the audience. It also runs the risk of privileging the voice of the those over those who have been ghosted. Instead, the rhetor may draw on a form of mimesis that allows the spectral to find a voice. This form of mimesis is called phantomime.]
