According to Kenneth Burke, every idea houses its opposite . “Heresies and orthodoxies will always be changing places,” he imagined, “but whatever the minority view happens to be at any given time, one must consider it as ‘counter .’” In other words, every tradition contains its own critique . Ideas are always in dialogue, bridging gaps that we may not have known existed until the bridges were built . And alongside those bridges are other implied ways to transfer and create meaning . To foreground that pendulum and address our contemporary political climate, White Nationalism and Faith: Statements and Counter-Statements on American Identity includes American texts which wield religious arguments in order to affirm or dismantle white supremacy . William Jennings Bryan, Billy Sunday, and Bob Jones as well as Barack Obama, Phil Snider, and Mitch Landrieu are just a few of the voices in dialogue . This anthology is designed for the upper-level undergraduate or master’s student so that they can explore how American rhetors since the Civil War have constituted their white nationalism through religious rhetoric . With this anthology of statements and their contemporaneous counter-statements, students of public address can craft and polish the same serious but comedic lens as Kenneth Burke imagined in the twentieth century .

El Teatro Español Universitario (TEU) constituyó uno de los más singulares espacios de libertad durante el franquismo . A pesar de la falta de libertades en las cátedras y de la férrea censura sobre la escena, universidad y teatro formaron una singular alianza para, en perfecto compás, ir abriendo brecha en el monolítico edificio del régimen . De este modo, la intensa y extensa actividad del TEU no es una página marginal de la Historia del teatro español sino una parte sustantiva de ella en todos los aspectos de la vida escénica: dramaturgia, dirección, escenografía, música, interpretación…
