- Abstract
The article analyzes the television programs "Supernanny" and "Dog Whisperer". It references theories concerning literature and power developed by philosopher Kenneth Burke. Particular focus is given to a comparison of the disciplinary strategies used in each program. According to the authors, both programs illustrate the roles of attitudinal, verbal, and embodied measures in performative leadership. Order, disorder, and homological rhetorical criticism are also discussed.
