Nietzsche contra Burke: The Melodrama in Dramatism.
Desilet, Gregory
Quarterly Journal of Speech, v75 n1 p65-83 Feb 1989
Examines Kenneth Burke's and Friedrich Nietzsche's similar understanding of the hortatory nature of language-using, weighed against their radically differing conceptions of the negative, which allows a distinction between two genres of dramatism, and illustrates contrasting orientations toward symbolic activity in general.
