Description
Kenneth Burke's War of Words explores the rhetorical devices that sponsor war in the name of peace. Originally intended as part of his "Motivorum" project, this second volume was never published until now. It catalogues belligerent persuasive strategies and tactics that remain in use today, shedding light on how popular news media outlets can 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. By examining these rhetorical devices, Burke deepens our understanding of post-World War II politics and illuminates the study of modern rhetoric. A valuable addition to the study of rhetoric and politics, Kenneth Burke's War of Words offers a unique perspective on the role of language in shaping international relations.
