The Czech Rhetoric of 1989 and Václav Havel
Original language description
Year 1989 was memorable for rhetoric. Words had power. Clumsy Communist speeches, delivered in a futile attempt to preserve the 5 old order, backfired and sealed the downfall of the old regime. The town squares became public arenas for ad hoc referenda;rhetoric became a legitimate weapon. Battles for public opinion culminated in unique confrontations of speakers and crowds at the ˇCKD industrial plant and Letná plain in Prague. Václav Havel, a dissident 10 and shy unlikely leader, won by both his ethosand logos. Havel?s slogan Truth and Love has to Prevail over Lie and Hatred? became a staple of the Velvet Revolution and is still alive, provoking the enemies of moral politics and civil society. Drawing on academic literature, the article provides a closer analysis of Havel?s rhetoric.
