Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method
ISBN: 9780520001923 / Angielski / Miękka / 1968 / 532 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From the Preface: The title for this collection was the title of a course in literary criticism that I gave for many years at Bennington College. And much of the material presented here was used in that course. The title should serve well to convey the gist of these various pieces. For all of them are explicitly concerned with the attempt to define and track down the implications of the term "symbolic action," and to show how the marvels of literature and language look when considered form that point of view.

A Rhetoric of Motives
ISBN: 9780520015463 / Angielski / Miękka / 1969 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As critic, Kenneth Burke's preoccupations were at the beginning purely esthetic and literary; but after Counter-Statement (1931), he began to discriminate a "rhetorical" or persuasive component in literature, and thereupon became a philosopher of language and human conduct. In A Grammar of Motives (1945) and A Rhetoric of Motives (1950), Burke's conception of "symbolic action" comes into its own: all human activities--linguisitc or extra-linguistic--are modes of symbolizing; man is defined as the symbol-using (and -misusing) animal. The critic's job becomes one of the...

ISBN: 9780520024830 / Angielski / Miękka / 1974 / 463 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From the ForewordThese pieces are selections from work done in the Thirties, a decade so changeable that I at first thought of assembling them under the title, "While Everything Flows."Their primary interest is in speculation on the nature of linguistic, or symbolic, or literary action--and in a search for more precise ways of locating or defining such action.Words are aspects of a much wider communicative context, most of which is not verbal at all. Yet words also have a nature peculiarly their own. And when discussing them as modes of action, we must consider both this nature as words in...

"Es leidet keinen Zweifel, daß er der überlegenste Kritiker und Theoretiker der Literatur ist, den Amerika heute besitzt" - mit diesem Urteil begrüßt W. H. Auden 1941 Kenneth Burkes "Philosophy of Literary Form", einen der folgenreichsten neueren Versuche, Funktion und Bedeutung der Dichtung zu bestimmen.

Zwar hat er in seiner Ästhetik soziologische, psychoanalytische und linguistische Erkenntnisse aufgenommen, aber ohne sich einer Schule oder Perspektive mit Haut...
