{"product_id":"permanence-and-change-kenneth-burke-9780520041462","title":"Permanence and Change: An Anatomy of Purpose, Third Edition","description":"\u003ci\u003ePermanence and Change\u003c\/i\u003e was written and first published in the depths of the Great Depression. \u003ci\u003eAttitudes Toward History\u003c\/i\u003e followed it two years later. These were revolutionary texts in the theory of communication, and, as classics, they retain their surcharge of energy. \u003ci\u003ePermanence and Change\u003c\/i\u003e treats human communication in terms of ideal cooperation, whereas \u003ci\u003eAttitudes Towards History\u003c\/i\u003e characterizes tactics and patterns of conflict typical of actual human associations. It is in \u003ci\u003ePermanence and Change\u003c\/i\u003e that Burke establishes in path-breaking fashion that form permeates society just as it does poetry and the arts. Hence, his master idea that forms of art are not exclusively aesthetic: the cycles of a storm, the gradations of a sunrise, the stages of an epidemic, the undoing of Prince Hamlet are all instances of progressive form. This new edition of \u003ci\u003ePermanence and Change\u003c\/i\u003e reprints Hugh Dalziel Duncan's long sociological introduction and includes a substantial new afterward in which Burke reexamines his early ideas in light of subsequent developments in his own thinking and in social theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth Burke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520041461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520041462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.36w x 0.98d","brand":"Kenneth Burke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056197431551,"sku":"9780520041462","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3e3eeba-3a6c-4a0a-aebc-ac18944629e7.jpg?v=1685040031","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/permanence-and-change-kenneth-burke-9780520041462","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
