Abstract:
ABSTRACT Taking seriously Kenneth Burke's claim that identification follows property's logic discloses identification's rootedness not only in nonsymbolic motion but also in attitudinal sensation, that midway realm between sheer motion and symbolic action. Burke's key distinction is among three terms, not two—implying consubstantial (not antithetical) relations between pure persuasion and identification. Thus understood, these relations have implications for the New Rhetoric, in particular for how it frames the question of justice.

Abstract:
Ceremonial speeches play different roles on different occasions, and Kenneth Burke's rhetorical Identification Theory provides a new perspective for the study of ritual speeches. Based on this theory, this study explores British Prime Ministers’ new year speeches with qualitative and quantitative methods. According to the findings, Identification by Inaccuracy is used most frequently, followed by Identification by Sympathy and Identification by Antithesis, the frequencies of which show no significant difference. The high frequency of Identification by Inaccuracy is mainly due to the repeated use of “we” and intensive depiction of future visions. Apparently, this strategy is in line with the thematic features of new year speeches, i.e., uniting people and looking into the future. This study, examining the rhetorical features of ceremonial speeches with the example of new year speeches, hopes to inspire speech enthusiasts with useful speaking strategies and rhetorical awareness.

Abstract:
In this article Valerie Lynn Schrader examines the musical Assassins through the rhetorical lenses of public memory and Kenneth Burke's theory of identification. Offering a close textual analysis of the musical's script and cast recording, she argues that Assassins, along with its audiences, serves to co-create a public memory of the men and women who attempted to assassinate Presidents of the United States of America. Her article contends that Assassins creates a chilling consubstantiality between the characters in the musical and theatregoers through Burkean identification, which may cause cognitive dissonance for many audience members. Through identifying key themes in the musical, she argues that these both connect with the assassins' motives and are common human experiences, serving not only to create public memory of the stories, but also to humanize the assassins and create a bond between audience and characters – while the song ‘Something Just Broke’ undermines this connection and encourages audience members to identify with the mourning American public. Valerie Lynn Schrader is Associate Professor of Communications and Interim Director of Academic Affairs at the Schuylkill Campus of the Pennsylvania State University. Her research focuses on rhetorical messages in theatre works, especially musical theatre productions. She is herself a classically trained lyric soprano/soubrette.

Abstract:
This paper charts a course through Kenneth Burke’s extensive body of works by focusing on his rhetorically inflected theory of social criticism. It progresses from Burke’s ideas about symbolic action and dramatism to a discussion of identification. It features Burke’s definition of man, his treatment of the victimage ritual, and his notion of the comic corrective as three useful heuristics for understanding rhetoric as a vehicle for improving agonistic human relations without sacrificing diversity

Abstract:
There is no question but that Kenneth Burke transformed twentieth century scholarship in rhetorical studies—although too often scholars’ emphasis on identification has led them to neglect other portions of the Burkean canon with important implications for the theory and criticism of rhetorical discourse. In this essay, therefore, I draw upon Burke’s (ultimately unsuccessful) efforts to craft a follow-up to his groundbreaking volume A Rhetoric of Motives, and do so in order to focus specifically on his writings on catharsis. However, I do so not in order to provide a definitive account of this stage of Burke’s career, nor of his unfinished project on poetics (whatever that might be), but to instead engage a difficult question raised by these writings: are the rhetorical dimensions of catharsis necessarily restricted to the transformation of strictly civic motives? Might, in other words, catharsis act instead upon the troubling byproducts of our existence as “bodies that learn language”—the byproducts that drive our (human) rhetorical existence? In the conclusion of the essay, I flesh out this question through the creation of a “perspective by incongruity”— a juxtaposition between Burke’s writings on catharsis and Anne Carson’s innovative volume of Greek tragedy combining works by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, An Oresteia. Ultimately, I argue, this planned incongruity might help us complete Burke’s account of catharsis, and to thereby outline a kind of pollution and cleansing of vital importance to the study of human social life, in all its vital manifestations.

Abstract:
The “Community of a Shared Future for Mankind” has emerged as a pivotal notion in contemporary international relations and global governance. Drawing from President Xi Jinping’s public speeches concerning the topic, this article explores the rhetorical strategies by using Kenneth Burke’s Identification Theory. With the help of word cloud API and the Doccano text annotation tool, the research conducts a systematic analysis to delve into the application and tangible impacts of the identification mechanism in the external dissemination of the discourse. It is founded that the strategies of identification by sympathy and inaccuracy are predominant in the discourse, with identification by antithesis as a supplementary method.

Abstract:
According to Burke, Dramatism means humans can learn and understand motives in all human interactions through symbols. Burke sees that the motives behind people's actions are essential for analyzing and finding out why people do and say what they do. Apart from the dramatic Pentad which is one of the important concepts in dramatism, there are identification, guilt and ratio. There are six ways of identification, formal patterns, framing, ambiguous symbols, mystification, and scapegoats. There are two forms of guilt, namely mortification and victimage. There are two forms of guilt, mortification and labeling the enemy or the victim of victimage. This study aims to analyze existing data to present the basic findings of dramatism theory, identification and guilt in the film "They Life 1988". This research was conducted with a qualitative descriptive approach, by analyzing findings from previous research or secondary data which will generate basic findings as the results of the analysis, namely: identifying which there are six parts, namely identification, formal patterns, framing, ambiguous symbols, mystification and scapegoat. Then it generates guilt in which there are two parts, mortification and labeling of the enemy or the victim of vicitimage.

Abstract:
This thesis explains the "systematic" refinement of Kenneth Burke's theoretical process through his development of a theological paradigm for the dramatistic vocabulary. It describes the merging metaphysical and dialectical issues in Burke's critical thought and locates a theoretical shift in A Grammar of Motives, where Burke posits the prototype for his key term, "act." The study then interprets the formal treatment of the prototype in The Rhetoric of Religion: Studies in Logology, and demonstrates how the derived paradigm maintains and advances the convergence of metaphysics and dialectics, and how it reestablishes the interaction between language structure and usage in two types of definition or explanation (temporal-logical, narrative-tautological). This thesis also describes the purpose and functional range of Logology.

Abstract:
In the field of mass communication and media, the use of language has become so versatile that it can help to improve relationship between peoples, but it can somehow have a negative effect on the mutual understanding. Rhetoric makes it clear and persuasive to communicate to make language work for their purposes. Sociolinguistics in the contrastive analysis deals with speech communities and the language use in particular contexts such as dialects or bilingualism in society and language variation and change over time, especially in the post-COVID-19 era. This chapter presents Kenneth Burke's rhetorical theory and William Labov's sociolinguistic method, analyzing genres and registers in the systemic functional linguistics perspective to derive a conceptual framework for the study of news report. The resulting framework provides for the identification of news writing style in mass media and other social networks and its performance in language use regarding the power of words to avoid the ambiguity in situational contexts and to better interpersonal and intercultural communication.

Abstract:
Kenneth Burke warned of the trends of behaviorism in A Grammar of Motives as he found them to be a reduction of the human condition. In the current digital landscape, data mining aims at reducing the human user to characteristics and re-presenting those characteristics, through online advertising, to the user they were collected from. Due to these processes, rhetoricians are forced to take a deeper look at how the audience is constituted within digital situations. This chapter discusses the effects of data mining on Burke's work, providing an example for the contextualization of rhetorical theory in new media environments. By contextualizing Burke's concepts, this chapter allows for these ideas to be used more seamlessly within digital rhetoric and any medium where data mining is a consistent practice.
