This article offers a rhetorical perspective on the Swedish project of nuclear waste management – how inventio has been shaped throughout the project, with focus on alignment of perspectives and adaptation of argument to achieve a solution to an urgent problem – fi nding a location for spent nuclear fuel repository. The study fi nds that the organizations representing the “environmental” perspective have gradually (1970s-2010s) integrated the argumentation of the nuclear industry into their own position. Also the treatment of “environment” as a material ground for argument has changed over the years – from a separated topic for the critics of the repository project, to a commonplace argument, and from a local value to a political notion.

Niniejszy artykuł przyjmuje perspektywę retoryczną w badaniu dyskursu na temat odpadów radioaktywnych w Szwecji. Sprawdza on jak kształtowane jest inventio w publicznej debacie nad lokalizacją depozytu odpadów nuklearnych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem procesu adaptacji argumentów i uzgadniania wspólnych pozycji miedzy stroną pro-ekologiczną i stroną instytucjonalną. Badanie wykazuje jak organizacje ekologiczne stopniowo (od lat 70. XX w. do drugiego dziesięciolecia XXI w.) zintegrowały swoją argumentację z postulatami przemysłu nuklearnego. Zmieniało się między innymi użycie argumentu ochrony środowiska naturalnego: z kluczowej przesłanki materialnej do formalnego toposu, oraz z wartości lokalnej wspólnoty po konstrukt polityczny.

After having distinguished the two main contexts for the transmission of knowledge – the esoteric and exoteric – the paper offers a systematic comparison between scientific and popular science texts in terms of inventio, dispositio and elocutio. The popular science texts tend to present knowledge in anthropocentric terms, showing the relevance of the message to the recipients’ everyday lives. They turn out to be shorter than genuine scientific texts, and this is achieved, in part, by eliminating information about the methodologies used. The user-friendly vocabulary offers the audience a sense of familiarity with the presented topic, which is, however, different from in-depth specialist knowledge.

In the second book of Institutio oratoria Quintilian contemplates the definition and nature of rhetoric. The lecture on rhetoric can be divided into three parts: on art (ars), master (artifex), work (opus). The most common definition of rhetoric can be summed up as the power of persuasion (vis persuadendi). Every element of rhetoric changes with the content of the cases, the times, the circumstances, the needs. No law proposals, no resolutions passed by the people constituted the noble rules of rhetoric; they were formed by practice. If utility will advise us to do something different, we should follow such advice and not be constrained by the authority of the former masters. The important virtue (virtus) of the teacher is to take into consideration the different talents of every student and to discover their natural predispositions. In Quintilian’s definition the speaker and his art are not dependent on the effect. Though a speaker aims for victory, then even if he lost the case he still achieved the goal of his art, provided that he spoke honestly.

The paper presents the analysis of Józef Beck’s parliamentary speech on 5 May 1939, showing its characteristics as well as its unique value in different facets of the speaker’s creative act. Accordingly, the paper has been divided into seven sections. The first one provides a historical outline and an attempt to reconstruct the background of the keynote address by the minister of foreign affairs. The second one characterises Beck as a diplomat, allowing to understand the person who adopted a role of public speaker in Poland under an imminent threat of war with the German Reich. The third one introduces some details on how the chief of diplomacy prepared himself for delivering a definite statement of his policy. The fourth, fifth and sixth sections contain the actual analysis of the text presented to listeners, and also examine how the speaker complied with the principles of the rhetorical art on the consecutive stages (inventio, dispositio, elocutio) of creating a text as intended to be delivered. Finally, the seventh section of this study briefly summarizes how the stages of memoria and actio, i. e. memorising and giving the speech, were conducted, according to the audiovisual record of Beck’s address delivered in the Polish Sejm.
