| Abstract | Kenneth Burke's Dramatistic Pentad is an analytical device intended to be used by critics to discover the roots of motivation for particular acts. The five elements of the pentad are the scene, act, agent, agency, and purpose. Using the Burkean Pentad, this symposium presents the following five analyses of Watergate: "Scenic Responsibility: the Relinquishment of Autonomy and the Retention of Innocence"; "The Act of Watergate"; "Nixon, Watergate, and the Rhetoric of Agent"; "Richard M. Nixon: The Fascination with Agency"; and "Richard M. Nixon and the Rhetorical Purpose." For each analysis, the critic was arbitrarily assigned a term from the Pentad and asked to explore the Watergate publications and news materials from the perspective offered by the term. The goal of the symposium was to explain the motivation of Nixon and those who responded to him during the months leading to his resignation. (MAI) |
