Summary/Abstract: The current study extends past research on Cocea’s journalistic work by outlining new perspectives on stylistics and rhetorical techniques as part of an approach to pamphlet art understood as negativity and polemic struggle in the field of journalistic debate. The mainstay of the paper is formed by an analysis of articles published by Cocea in the journals of his time. The study addresses the issue of diverse realizations of irony as a provocative rhetorical strategy in Cocea’s journalistic work taking into account the fact that his press texts add new meanings to understanding his entire atitude towards essential issues such as monarchy, social deficiencies, class injustice. The purpose of the research is to stress the specific of Cocea’s modalities to construct the pamphlet notes in his journalistic work, and the study closelly follows the specialized bibliography dedicated to interpreting the ways in which pamphletary modalities function in the press text.
