I am TRYING to read the article my prof sent me.

“Within the macroscale question for DVC—that is, whether, and how strenuously, to regard the project as generated from a ‘kit’, with a dozen variants emerging to block out a model, the modelling of a political system, validating a conceptual programme by presenting its results—there is the specific issue for Iul.: does this first sally function as antefix or exemplary inauguration? For options, as we head out through those engaging riffs that corroborate/expose what readers think they knew they knew, and begin to attune to Suetonius’ brand of (mock-)intellectual storymongering/story-satirizing (pop-) scholarship, is Iul. set to ratchet up preliminary or liminal puzzlement, to play between tone-setting captatio and teasing decoy tactics—the false start, antitype, priamel, scrambler, and dubitatio (rhetorical figure marking ‘under scrutiny’)?“
