“…This gives us the impression that this conclusion is our own and not suggested by someone else (Nettel 2005). Though, concerning the omission of the conclusion, we can ask ourselves if it would be a purely persuasive strategy.…”

“…Let's first note that there are numerous cross-references with the preceding analysis: visual argumentation often presents itself in the form of an enthymeme, since the visual argument's conclusion is absent, thus leaving the conclusion for the person who receives the visual message (Nettel 2005;Smith 2007); narration plays a large role in it (Kibédi Varga 1989, pp. 96-117;Helmers 2004); and finally the question of the argumentivity of rhetorical figures, found between argumentation and persuasion, is posed here in an acute manner (Roque 2011).…”

This article deals with the relationship between argumentation and persuasion. It defends the idea that these two concepts are not as opposed as all too often said. If it is important to recognize their differences (there are argumentative discourses without persuasion and persuasive discourses without argumentation), there is nevertheless an overlap, in which characteristics are taken from both. We propose to call this overlap ''persuasive argumentation''. In order to bridge argumentation and persuasion, we will first distinguish the latter from manipulation. In the second part of this article, we will analyze four cases of persuasive argumentation: the enthymeme, a few rhetorical figures, narration and visual argumentation.

“…As lawyers, we usually are more concerned with the meaning it conveys in terms of the ideal of justice and judgment. As we know, visual images of law and justice have contributed in a very important way to the creation of a mental image of justice that supports the belief in an obligation to obey the law in a given way (Nettel 2005). An allegory centuries old, that borrowed and made its own elements that have been lost over the years or that have gained other meanings, different from what was originally intended.…”

Exploring Justitia Through Éowyn and Niobe: On Gender, Race and the Legal

The image of Lady Justice, a white woman, sometimes appearing with her eyes veiled and other times unveiled, at times bearing scales and/or a sword in her hands, still is a common and popular feature of legal culture in many parts of the world. This is an image of justice that is found everywhere, from courthouses to cartoons. However, one may ask: ''Who is this woman?''; Is she really a worthy representative of justice?; Or even a commendable representative of women? Thus, in this article, it is proposed to question the image of Lady Justice and the interpretations that have been associated with it, as well as the standards of conduct required of, and imposed upon, women both inside and outside the legal profession. The article will consider a range of arguments related to such questions, particularly on the issues of gender and race, by using two female characters: É owyn (from Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings) and Niobe (from the Wachowskis's The Matrix). The two characters are women who have some significance in both plots. Through them, I will establish some similarities and differences with Justitia, namely the need to be disguised as men or embrace male attitudes (a similar process concerning women in the legal profession, for example); the use of weapons (specifically, the sword, and, hence, the necessary analysis of women as law breakers, in contradiction to the image of Justitia); and finally some key issues relating to the representation of women of colour.
