Rhetoric in the Age of

Burke on Affect and

Persuasion after Cybernetics

Indeed, always beneath the dance of words there will be the dance of bodies, the mimetic symbol-system that all these animals will come close to having in common, though their sedentary ways of living will cause them to forget it, like persons still quite young, come in time to forget the language of their childhood, the language most profoundly persuasive of all. But talk of the dance, and its body-language, brings us to exactly the next step in our unfolding.

—Kenneth Burke, The Rhetoric of Religion (288)
