>Greetings, Burkelers:
>
>The inaugural issue of KB Journal is now available at www.kbjournal.org.
>This issue features articles by Robert Ivie on President Bush’s war
>rhetoric, Robert Wess on Burkean ecocriticism, and Jo Scott-Coe on Burke and
>Augustine. Additionally, the journal’s editors, Mark Huglen and Clarke
>Rountree offer an essay introducing the journal and its purposes.
>
>KB Journal is peer reviewed and publishes twice a year (fall and spring),
>boasting a stellar board of associate editors. It publishes high quality,
>original scholarship that addresses, appropriates, repurposes, or challenges
>the teachings of Kenneth Burke, which includes but is not limited to the
>major books and hundreds of articles by Burke, as well as the growing corpus
>of research material about Burke. It is an outlet for integrating and
>critiquing the gamut of studies in communication, composition, English,
>gender studies, literature, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and technical
>writing. KB Journal’s goal, ultimately, is to build some stable knowledge to
>foster a better world.
>
>Readers are encouraged to participate in an ongoing conversation about the
>essays on our “Conversations” page (a web log), moderated by Ed Appel. The
>first focus will be on the editors’ introductory essay, followed by a
>specific focus on each of the essays.
>
>To support interdisciplinary study of Burke’s ideas, the journal will
>provide a regularly-updated bibliography of works about Burke’s ideas, as
>well as reviews of both books and journal articles, providing a
>clearinghouse for information in Burke studies. The inaugural issue features
>a review of Walter Jost’s Rhetorical Investigations: Studies in Ordinary
>Language Criticism and three recent journal articles drawing upon Burke.
>Dana Anderson is the Research Review Editor.
>
>The journal also includes conference calls for papers in Burke studies and
>recent news. Debra Hawhee serves as Happenings Editor.
>
>The journal website was developed by students in the University of Alabama
>in Huntsville’s Computer-Mediated Communication program, with help from the
>journal’s Consulting Editor, David Blakesley. KB Journal is housed on a
>server at Purdue University and uses a content management system. Server
>space and technical support is sponsored by the Professional Writing Program
>in Purdue's Department of English.
>
>The inaugural issue contains the following:
>

>Representative Anecdote for Burkean Ecocriticism in Particular” by Robert
