Topoi

What I am more interested in at the moment are people who transcend those basics by integrating topoi and tropes of other media into the ones they're working in. ❋ SVGL (2009)

To finish, I do agree with your observation that neither SotC nor House of Leaves could exist without a deep insight into the topoi and tropes of their proper medium; I'd just like to think that this is to some degree the bare minimum of knowledge that anyone working seriously in a medium should bring into the process. ❋ SVGL (2009)

There are a number of topoi in those texts, to be reused whenever it seemed appropriate. ❋ Carla (2010)

This unsettledness seems a logical reaction, not just in lives but in artistic styles, to a sense of belatedness, a sense that there is no new terrain to stake out, just topoi among which poets can hop. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Memories need to be organized if we want to be able to recall them at will, and we reuse those organizing "cubbyholes" or topoi over and over again. ❋ James F. McGrath (2009)

It encapsulates so many republican topoi: chickenhawks, landscaped yards, people who can afford homes in places that have homeowners 'associations with rules like these, complete ignorance of how most Americans actually live. ❋ Unknown (2009)

One of her various topoi seems to be a kind of internal emigration, a point of view to which she gives expression in her essay Nach innen ausgewandert (Emigrated inwards), first published in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in 1981. ❋ Unknown (2009)

For one thing, plots tend to be structured around well-known topoi, as the Classical rhetoricians called them: stances and arguments about things like the country vs. the city (e.g. healthy, simple country vs. bad, clogged, sophisticated city), man vs. nature, age vs. youth, innocence vs. experience, etc. ❋ Roger Sutton (2007)

A symbol beside a box indicates material introduced from works/performances: strickly speaking a distinction should be made here between material taken from a specific work/performance (what parenthetical attides would call plagiarism), and material (“formals”; motifs; topoi; what parethetical attitiudes would call commonplaces or even “cliches”) belonging to a given tradition as a whole. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Because her writing came as a result of financial necessity, considerations of pubic taste frequently impinged upon her selection of topoi and style to ensure commercial success. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The book's narrative is too often slowed down by such phrases as "the originative moment," the "enjoyment of fabulation," "semiotic functions" and "habitual topoi." ❋ Marc Leepson (2008)

He casts "The Outsider" as one chapter in Lovecraft's evolving ghoul-cycle, pointing out that "The Outsider"'s combination of crypts, dreams, and a decayed corpse with fading or ancient human memory are all topoi of Lovecraft's ghouls. ❋ Princeofcairo (2007)

Every discipline has its topoi, its loci communes, concepts and maxims that help to simplify, to guide, to order. ❋ Unknown (2005)

It is clear that Nishida proposed his various topoi not as static contexts terminating in an ultimate genus, but rather as a dynamic process of contextualization or world-formation. ❋ Maraldo, John (2005)

Nishida articulated the topoi also in terms of what we may call a me-ontology, from the Greek meon or non-being. ❋ Maraldo, John (2005)

The logical schema of topoi is paralleled by an ontological account. ❋ Maraldo, John (2005)

Each of Nishida's successive topoi serves as a level of analysis that resolves contradictions on less comprehensive levels, as Einstein's relativity theory encompasses Newtonian theory and resolves contradictions in it. ❋ Maraldo, John (2005)
