About The Future Is Today: A Burkean/Marxist Analysis Of

In decades past, the study of rhetoric was largely confined to the realm of the written word. The rise of film, television and the Internet has brought new forms of rhetoric to study, and so old methodologies must adapt to survive. One such tool of analysis is the terministic screen, or the language and symbols used to construct a certain worldview, as first theorized by rhetorical scholar Kenneth Burke. This study dissects the terministic screens present in the films "Modern Times" and "Soylent Green," and in doing so diversifies Burke's ideas for a culture dominated by visual media.
