Batman, Hulk & Burke: Rhetoric of Motives

In this episode of The Dr. Bobby Show, we continue our deep dive into Kenneth Burke's A Rhetoric of Motives with Part 2 of "Range of Rhetoric." Dr. Bobby unpacks Burke's exploration of individual identity, conflict, and the role of rhetoric in mediating between identification and division. We'll explore rhetorical motives within characters, how we internalize rhetoric, and the evolving dynamic between internal and external dialogues. Using examples from Batman and Hulk, we’ll see how rhetoric shapes character and communication. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe! Looking for a podcast publishing host?
