Research paper thumbnail of Towards Patho-logology: Love as God-term of Terministic-Affect Screens

Journal of Communication and Religion, 2018

Patho-logology's companion-concept, terministic-affect screens, allows the description of ways of seeing that involve the pathē. Love is the god-term of a patho-logological terministic-affect screen because "God is love," illustrating a relationship between Burkean identification and its related term consubstantiality. Patho-logology complements John Hatch's notion of dialogology, helps people to get along, and unifies the Judeo-Christian-based logology with the Talmudic tradition of not confining logos to propositional logic alone and improves understanding of Aristotelian pisteis.

These pages, given Kenneth Burke’s perplexity, require further discussion. The rhetorical figures antithesis and gradatio are used on these pages as representative anecdotes of the figures’ capacity as forms to induce identification. Antithesis and gradatio illustrate a concept of somatic rhetorical figuration based on a rhetorical aesthetic which is summarized on page fifty-eight. Figures, or formal patterns, overlap and point to the continued relevance of classical rhetoric as a way of discussing style across disciplines.

Wherever there is the desire to obtain the elusive political ideal, there too we will find saints, sinners, and rest assuredly, dynamic symbols ready to unite, divide, and if necessary, conquer. "The Great Stereopticon" is no match for either the awe-inspiring god-term or the cultural demands of civic piety. The authors of this timely collection do a fine job reminding us that this remains the case, today more than ever. Well done. " — Joseph Rhodes, University of Nevada, Las Vegas Honors College " Anyone interested in exploring the historical, political, and rhetorical manifestations of American civil religion should start with this volume. It covers significant moments in the shaping of a unique and fascinating phenomenon. " — Dennis Cali, The University of Texas at Tyler " Edwards and Valenzano bring together a palette of fresh faces and ideas in this edited volume. Collectively the authors answer well the questions concerning the contemporary epistemological status of American Civil Religion, and then posit further questions that arise from their nuanced understandings. This is an important contribution to the literature on American Civil Religion. " — Jim A. Kuypers, Virginia Tech ABOUT THE BOOK The tie that binds all Americans, regardless of their demographic background, is faith in the American system of government. This faith manifests as a form of civil, or secular, religion with its own core documents, creeds, oaths, ceremonies, and even individuals. In The Rhetoric of American Civil Religion: Symbols, Sinners, and Saints, contributors seek to examine some of those core elements of American faith by exploring the proverbial saints, sinners and dominant symbols of the American system.

You have to do all the work to receive a passing grade, but the concepts and skills of business writing are not difficult to master. You don't even have to think of yourself as a good writer (whatever that means) to do well in this course. And, in fact, business and professional writing is probably significantly different than writing you did in Freshman Writing or in high school.
