Märksõnad:

When Kenneth Burke conceived his celebrated “Motivorum” project in the 1940s and 1950s, he envisioned it in three parts. Whereas the third part, A Symbolic of Motives, was never finished, A Grammar of Motives (1945) and A Rhetoric of Motives (1950) have become canonical theoretical documents.
 
A Rhetoric of Motives was originally intended to be a two-part book. Here, at last, is the second volume, the until-now unpublished War of Words, where Burke brilliantly exposes the rhetorical devices that sponsor war in the name of peace. Discouraging militarism during the Cold War even as it catalogues belligerent persuasive strategies and tactics that remain in use today, The War of Words reveals how popular news media outlets can, wittingly or not, foment international tensions and armaments during tumultuous political periods. This authoritative edition includes an introduction from the editors explaining the compositional history and cultural contexts of both The War of Words and A Rhetoric of Motives. The War of Words illuminates the study of modern rhetoric even as it deepens our understanding of post–World War II politics.

 

Arvustused

"The three coeditors of this posthumous publicationAnthony Burke, Kyle Jensen, and Jack Selzerhave done a commendable job assembling this material, which efforts they narrate fully in their valuable introduction. . . . [ The War on Words is a] revealing remnant of Burkes dissertation on motives, a companion volume to his Rhetoric. It is neither a sequel nor a prequel nor a detour nor a summary; it is something more essential." * European Legacy * "The volume provides Burkes fascinating, mid-career reflections upon his intellectual trajectory. . . .[ the editors] efforts have done scholars a tremendous service." * American Literary History *
