Annotation
This paper is divided into three main sections. The author first sketches a phenomenology of the art of seduction, referring to Baudrillard. Then he raises the problem of the relation of seduction to manipulation, indirect communication, insincerity etc. (cfr. Austin). Finally he examines the possibility of a rhetoric of seduction.
