refers to Burke’s relevance in these “stark times.” In his reflections on the
five articles on the rhetoric of the 2015-2016 election, Edward A. Hinck noted
the “contnuing relevance of Kenneth Burke’s work” in reference to my piece on
Trump’s anomalous appeals in that campaign (<i id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1528310770638_4506">CQ</i>,
2018, April-June). Burke’s dramatism/logology will always be relevant to the
discourse and life actions of the symbolic species. Burke’s ideas are so deeply
rooted in the inherent structure of the human psyche and its manifest
expressions, I cannot believe, short of tens of thousands of years of novel
cerebral evolution, <i id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1528310770638_4507">homo sapiens, homo
dialecticus, homo loquax 2</i> will somehow outgrow the drama that infuses and
transcends her and his animal life and being. Whether Burke, like probably
Aristotle, will still explicitly make the scene in a thousand years, Burke’s
approach to the philosophy of language will survive. Someone else, or a
succession of interpreters and appropriators, will refashion and recombine the
drama of language, life, literature, and rhetoric Burke has so trenchantly
plumbed. <o:p id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1528310770638_4508"></o:p></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1528310770638_4504"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1528310770638_4509"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1528310770638_4510"> I’m
