Renommierte deutschsprachige Autoren halten seit 1999 zum Ende eines jeden Schuljahres Reden an und für die Abiturienten im Saarland – oft mit Ratschlägen und Empfehlungen, manchmal mit Warnungen oder Mahnungen, mitunter wurde auch kritisiert, gar geschimpft. Und manchmal schauten sie auch bloß zurück auf die eigene Biographie mit ihren Irrungen und Wirrungen.
Diese Ansprachen greifen die culture der Schulrede auf: Seit dem 18. Jahrhundert haben bekannte Autoren zu Beginn oder am Ende eines Schuljahres solche Reden gehalten, darunter Jean Paul, Johann Gottfried Herder und Friedrich Schiller. In dem ältesten deutschsprachigen Universallexikon, dem Zedler, ist der Schulrede gar ein eigener Eintrag gewidmet. Sie erfordere, heißt es dort, »etwas mehr Vorrath und Zubereitung als die Reden im gemeinen Leben«.
Im 19. Jahrhundert und in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden diese Reden zunehmend nationalistisch instrumentalisiert. Nach 1968 empfanden viele Schüler und zunehmend auch die Lehrer Abiturfeiern als unangemessen und anachronistisch und schafften sie ab.
Im englischen Sprachraum hingegen steht die Schul- oder Universitätsrede prominenter Autoren bis heute in hohem Ansehen.
Im Saarland ist die von Autoren gehaltene zentrale Abiturrede inzwischen Kult: Tausende Schüler, Lehrer, Eltern und Literaturinteressierte strömten seit 1999 jeweils kurz vor Beginn der Sommerferien zu den unterschiedlichsten Veranstaltungsorten, um die Reden zu hören.

El conjunto de las Controversias y las Suasorias constituye el más completo estudio sobre los angeles oratoria en l. a. época de su autor.
El cordobés Lucio Anneo Séneca «El Viejo» o «El Retórico» (h. fifty five a.C.-h. 39 d.C.), que no debe confundirse con su hijo, del mismo nombre, que es el que alcanzó más fama, se concentró en el estudio de l. a. retórica y reunió dos colecciones de cuestiones sobre esta materia, Controversiae y Suasoriae, que se convirtieron en los ejercicios de las escuelas de retórica. En ambas ofrece una amplia colección de fragmentos de declamación, sobre todo de las escuelas de l. a. época augústea, y fue Séneca, más que nadie, quien generalizó los angeles concept, seguramente exagerada, de que las declamaciones consistían en poco más que un epigrama, pues estaba interesado en el detalle y en el epigrama y los «clores», los enfoques ingeniosos aplicados a un caso.
Las Controversias (de las que conservamos cinco de los diez libros originales), escritas por petición expresa de sus tres hijos, que según nos cuenta él mismo sentían un apasionado interés por el arte declamatorio de l. a. generación inmediatamente anterior, especialmente por las sentencias que pronunciaban los oradores (generalidades formuladas de modo conciso) tratan de los angeles elocuencia en los tribunales de justicia, y consisten en debates sobre asuntos ficticios en casos criminales o civiles. Además de autores antiguos como Tucídides, Séneca el Viejo cita a muchos de sus contemporáneos más aptos en todos los campos: hombres de Estado (desde Augusto en adelante), historiadores (Livio), poetas (sobre todo Ovidio) y filósofos. Poseen especial interés los prefacios a las Controversias, donde Séneca se refiere a los diversos oradores y declamadores, con juicios perspicaces sobre sus estilos, sus análisis y planteamientos en los debates, con multitud de comentarios marginales y anécdotas.
Las Suasorias (de las que conservamos un libro) son ejercicios de retórica deliberativa (política), discursos sobre cuestiones como si los trescientos espartanos de las Termópilas habrían luchado contra los persas o huido. Todos los ejemplos son extractos de los rétores a los que escuchó Séneca en algún momento de su larga vida, testimonio de su memoria prodigiosa, y constituyen una fuente de primer orden para los angeles literatura.

Haas makes use of a wealth of methodologies together with interviews, exam of writers' actual interactions with texts, think-aloud protocols, rhetorical research of discourse approximately expertise, quasi-experimental experiences of analyzing and writing, participant-observer experiences of know-how improvement, function research of computers, and discourse research of written artifacts.
