Welcome!
On behalf of the Kenneth Burke Society and Clemson University, it’s my plea-
sure to welcome all of you to the Eighth Triennial Conference of the Kenneth
Burke Society. Clemson is my new home, and I hope you find it as welcoming,
beautiful, and warm as I have. I have wonderful colleagues and exceptional
graduate students here, many of whom you’ll meet at the conference. If there
was ever any doubt that KB’s ideas were alive and well in South Carolina, rest
assured that you can now roam our beautiful campus and find the fragrance of
many Burkes and rhetorics everywhere you turn.
The theme of this year’s conference, “Kenneth Burke, Rhetoric, and Social
Change,” reflects the belief that now more than ever we should bring Burke’s in-
sights—his terministic screens, representative anecdotes, comic and dramatistic
perspectives, and more—to the pressing challenges of our times. Burke’s words
from his 1942 essay, “War and Cultural Life,” seem as fresh as ever:

What one might now most avidly look for, in the cultural sphere, is some
evidence of a whole intellectual movement designed thus to “frame” the
conception of our exigencies, resources, weaknesses, and intentions. The
need to think of global war and of its counterpart, global peace, invites
us to seek also a truly global attitude toward all mankind, with its ex-
pressions ranging from the austere down to the foibles of the human
barnyard. The study of war aims should thus be grounded in the most
searching consideration of human motives. So far, however, it seems that
war aims are being treated as something of a cross between anticipatory
or retrospective ideals and cameralistic proposals designed to enlist or ap-
pease various economic interests. And more basic inquiries into human
2 8th Triennial Conference of the Kenneth Burke Society
motives seem to have been postponed, as a luxury that the moment can-
not afford, precisely at a time when the need for such a search is all the
more urgent. (“War and Cultural Life,” The American Journal of Sociology
48.3, Nov. 1942, p. 409)

Burke was speaking as World War II ravaged the globe at a time that had its own
particular mix of threats to the human condition and peaceful coexistence. Our
times have their own foibles in the human barnyard, and while it sometimes may
seem a luxury to reflect on them at an academic conference, the urge to do so, if
we’re to believe Burke, is all the more urgent as political, social, cultural, racial,
and ideological crises unfold. At those moments when we’re driven into a corner,
when the possibilities for action seem limited to silence or moral outrage, Burke
believed that the power of language and rhetoric could help us interpret our in-
terpretations, and in doing so find a way to act both for ourselves and for change.
The conference theme reflects this optimism, and the wide variety of topics
expressed in seminars and presentations throughout our three days together can
be our next step in freeing ourselves, as KB might have put it, from the tragic
inaction of “sour grapes” to the comic relief of “sour grapes plus.” I hope you all
enjoy the conference!

Acknowledgments
This 8th Triennial Conference of the Kenneth Burke Society is an act of be-
coming, with many people working behind the curtain to make it a first-order
reality. I want to thank first the Burke family, three of whom are with us at the
conference: Michael Burke, his wife Julie Whitaker, and their daughter Shan-
non. Anthony “Butchie” Burke can’t be here, but I spoke to him the other
night, and he sends his regards. I want to thank Angie Justice, my secretary and
the secretary of the Cambell Chair and the Pearce Center for Professional Com-
munication at Clemson. I can only imagine what she must have thought when
I arrived last fall and told her that we had a conference to host in nine months.
The now-permanent Dean of the College of Architecture, Arts, and Humani-
ties, Richard Goodstein, supported the conference with a graduate research as-
sistant this spring, a newly minted PhD himself, Josh Abboud. My colleagues
in the Department of English have been eager to help all the way, and many of
them are first-rate Burke scholars in their own right. At the conference, you’ll
find Steve Katz leading a seminar, and Martin Jacobi presenting a paper. Victor
Vitanza, Scot Barnett, Jan Holmevik, Cynthia Haynes, Tharon Howard, Bar-
bara Ramirez, and Scott Mogul will be here to host panels or to make sure you
enjoy the conference. Perhaps most of all, I want to thank the excellent graduate
students in my Kenneth Burke seminar this past semester. Not only have they
reminded me why I love thinking and writing about Burke but they have also
shown me that Burke’s ideas continue to resonate with the young among us.
 8th Triennial Conference of the Kenneth Burke Society 3
You’ll have the chance to meet all of them during the conference and to hear
and see the fine work that they’ve completed. They have planned the special
events at the conference, put together the best swag bag you’ve ever seen, and
will ensure that the conversations in the parlor are interminable, and well past
my bedtime, I’m sure. If you see them here, please join me in thanking them for
their hard work and enthusiasm: Jimmy Butts, Jared Colton, Yuanrong Ding,
Patricia Fancher, Steven Holmes, Walter Iriarte, Emily Ligon, Stephen Lind,
Lauren Mitchell, and Glen Southergill. They are all PhD students in our still
new PhD program in Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design.
If this semester was any indication, Burke scholars will be hearing a lot more
from them. I also want to mention Ethan Sproat, my student and friend from
Purdue, who encouraged me in the beginning to give another go at hosting the
Burke conference. I’m pleased that Ethan is here at the conference to show you
the excellent work he and Joel Overall have accomplished thus far in their work
on the video archives of the Iowa interviews with KB.
The officers of the Kenneth Burke Society keep everything running be-
tween conferences and are a blessing to all of us. I’m grateful for the confidence
they showed me when we burst rather late upon the scene with the promise to
host the conference here at Clemson so soon after I arrived. Ann George (Presi-
dent), Bob Wess (Immediate Past-President), Clarke Rountree (Vice President)
Elvera Berry (Secretary), and Virginia Anderson (Treasurer) deserver everyone’s
thanks. Bryan Crable, the 2008 conference chair, has always been there to offer
helpful advice. I want to thank especially all those who reviewed conference
proposals and offered their feedback: Josh Abboud, Virginia Anderson, Jimmy
Butts, AmyLea Clemons, Jared Colton, Yuanrong Ding, Patricia Fancher, Steve
Holmes, Walter Iriarte, Emily Ligon, Stephen Lind, Lauren Mitchell, Nathan-
iel Rivers, Clarke Rountree, Glen Southergill, and Ryan Weber.
Finally, I want to thank the President of Clemson University, James Bark-
er, our Provost, Doris Helms, my Dean, Richard Goodstein, my Department
Head, Barton Palmer, and Victor Vitanza, friend and colleague, for first luring
me to Clemson and now for giving me the opportunity to host this conference.
Additional support for the conference comes from the Robert S. Campbell En-
dowment, which provides funding for projects and events that foster deeper
and clearer communication across all contexts at the university and beyond.
With that, it’s time to put in your oar (or?)!

Seminars
A distinct highlight of past KBS conferences has been the seminars, which
provide opportunities for participants to focus on important subjects both
prior to and throughout the conference. These seminars meet four times
throughout the conference. The participants listed only include those reg-
istered before May 6, 2011. If anyone is not listed and would like to join a
seminar, ask the seminar leader if there’s space for you.

Burke and Law

Clarke Rountree
University of Alabama, Huntsville

This seminar will explore intersections between Burke’s work and law, with
particular attention to the Clarke Rountree’s application of the pentad to the
analysis of judicial discourse. Seminar participants will read the essays below.
Additionally, the group will read the U.S. Supreme Court case Kelo v. City
of New London (the controversial case approving Connecticut’s use of im-
minent domain) as a case study in legal rhetoric.
Participants: Bob Wess, Brandon Inabinet, Cherise Bacalski, Evelyn Burg, John
Roundtree, Mike Feehan, Odile Hobeika, Simone McGrath, Stan Lindsay,
Virginia Anderson, Dries Vrijders, Greig Henderson, Jason Maxwell, Joyce
Middleton

Race-ing Burke
Bryan Crable
Villanova University

Burke might seem an unlikely figure to link with race—simply because his or-
igins (geographic, generational, and racial) contrast sharply with the concerns
of those who advocate or construct critical race theory. Burke was not then,
and is not now, known for his writings on issues of race. Some scholars have
done work connecting Burke’s work to issues of race, identity, and racism. In
many respects, however, Burkean scholarship focuses much more strongly on
issues of class than of race (or of gender). This seminar will hope to change
6 8th Triennial Conference of the Kenneth Burke Society

that somewhat, by focusing attention on several key works by Burke that deal
with matters of race.
Participants: Adiel Suarez-Murias, AmyLea Clemons, Camille Lewis, Connie
Johnson, David Stacey, Guy Nave, Jean Miller, Joy Cypher, Nicholas Romeu,
Celeste Zsembery, Scott Gage

Burke and Education

Elvera Berry
Roberts Wesleyan College

Peter M. Smudde
Illinois State University

Whatever our particular interest in the work of Kenneth Burke, to the extent
that we engage his ideas, we become both student and teacher of those ideas.
Taking Burke seriously calls for an examination not only of the substance of
his corpus, but also of the implications of that substance for how we function
as educators. The theme of the 2011 conference, “Kenneth Burke, Rheto-
ric, and Social Change,” speaks directly to the nature and role of education.
While he did not write extensively about education, per se, Burke left a cor-
pus filled with implications for education.
Participants: Jacob Robertson, Jacqueline Preston, Jefferey Taylor, Jessica Shef-
field, Jimmy Butts, Joel Overall, Lavinia Hirsu, Lorin Milotta, Michael
DuPuis, Nicole Green, Ron Roach, Sarah Whyte, Walter Irarte, Yuanrong Ding,
Aimee Robison, Bill Fitzgerald, Jose Cortez

Burke, “Hitler’s ‘Battle’” and Beyond

Steve Katz
Pearce Professor, Clemson University

Kenneth Burke’s “The Rhetoric of Hitler’s ‘Battle’,” ostensibly a book review,

was a rhetorically perspicacious if not prophetic analysis of what was yet to
transpire. Though the layers of biography, bigotry, tirades, hatreds, and po-
litical strategies that permeate Mein Kampf turned others away in disgust
and disbelief, Burke foresaw the general outline of events, read in relation
to capitalism, religion, and anti-Semitism, just beginning to unfold. Burke
did not have the last word on the interpretation of Mein Kampf; others have
examined it since. But despite Burke’s warning that “we need to discover what
kind of ‘medicine’ this medicine-man concocted, that we may know exactly
what to guard against if we are to forestall the concocting of similar medicine
 8th Triennial Conference of the Kenneth Burke Society 7
in America,” for obvious and subtle reasons, rhetorical scholars, with a few
exceptions, have tended to shy away from engaging Hitler’s manifesto, or its
wider implications about genocide and rhetoric, in any hermeneutic depth.
This seminar will not be so shy.
Participants: Bryan Blankfield, David Dzikowski, David Isaksen, Ethan Spro-
at, Jared Colton, Jim Klumpp, Lauren Mitchell, Nate Kreuter, Patricia Fancher,
Rick Coe, Sasha McNicoll, Dmitri Stanchevici, Stephen McElroy, Steve Holmes

Mining Burkean Archives

Ann George
Texas Christian University

Archival research is changing the face of Burke studies. In the past decade,
a host of essays and books have demonstrated how the archives ask us to
reexamine what we “know” about Burke by reexamining how we’ve come to
this knowledge. Archives, that is, changewhat we study (his rhetorical strate-
gies as well as his theory, how he wrote as well as what he wrote) and how we
study, enabling us to employ Burke’s methodologies—to read dramatistically,
to “use everything.” And, then, archives help us begin to define what “every-
thing” means in each case.This seminar will enable participants to explore,
practically and theoretically, the potential for and the limitations of creating
new understandings of Burke via his archives.
Participants: Dmitri Stanchevici, Erin Wais-Hennen, Glen Southergill, Helen
Rapoport, Nathaniel Rivers, Paul Berry, Ryan Weber, Stephen Lind, Steven
Mailloux, Dieter Boxmann, William Schraufnagel

Nathaniel Rivers, Georgetown University
Ryan Weber, Penn State Altoona
This panel provides the backstory on the collection Equipment for Living:
The Literary Reviews of Kenneth Burke. The panel details the detective work
necessary to obtain permissions from many now-extinct publications—detec-
tive work that included a call to Penthouse Magazine. Based on this experi-
ence and archival research, Nathaniel Rivers and Ryan Weber will also discuss
how Burke’s reviews fit in the world of the Little Magazines of the 1920s
and 1930s (and as a bonus anecdote, learn which publication had a dispute
with Burke about providing free copies of reviewed books). Beyond these
magazines, the presenters place Burke’s reviews within the larger canon of his
work, arguing for their importance as precursors to his later thought and as
insightful essays in their own right.

Option 1: take 76 (Clemson Blvd) toward Anderson, turn left on Brown Road
(by the big WalMart). Go ~2 miles on Brown Rd., turn left on Plum Lane
into the Harper’s Ridge subdivision. Follow Plum until you come to Bracken-
berry, the second left. Our house is on the corner of Plum and Brackenberry
and will be looking right at you from up on the hill. “3015” is written in
big numbers on the front door. People can come in the front door or just go
straight to the pool out back (the walkway by the garage.

Main St. turns into Lebanon Road, which will eventually become Harris
Bridge Road as you get closer to Anderson. Go over I-85 and take the first
right on Little Creek Road. Follow Little Creek about ~1/2 mile, then take
a left on Plum Lane, then a fairly quick right on Brackenberry Drive. The
house is on the corner, 3015, on the hill.
