摘要

摘要本文通过对1960-2020年美国总统大选演讲样本的分析，对美国公民宗教修辞的理论假设进行了实证检验。首先，我们量化了理论上属于ACR的14个基序。其次，我们研究了ACR是一种不同于基督教的非宗派宗教的说法。第三，我们考虑ACR是否是一种持久的修辞现象。第四，我们调查ACR的表达是否超越了党派意识形态。我们发现ACR是一种不同于基督教的非宗派宗教，它是一种持久的修辞现象，它超越了党派界限。然而，我们也发现，在所检查的数据中，一些先前被理论化为ACR核心原则的主题明显不足。

American civil religious rhetoric: putting assumptions to the test

ABSTRACT This paper puts theoretical assumptions about the rhetoric of American Civil Religion (ACR) to the empirical test by analyzing a sample of Presidential election speech from 1960 to 2020. First, we quantify 14 motifs theorized to be part of ACR. Second, we examine the claim that ACR is a non-sectarian religion distinct from Christianity. Third, we consider if ACR is a persistent rhetorical phenomenon. Fourth, we investigate whether ACR articulation transcends partisan ideologies. We find that ACR is a non-sectarian religion which is distinct from Christianity, that it is a persistent rhetorical phenomenon, and that it transcends partisan lines. Nevertheless, we also find that some motifs previously theorized to be core tenets of ACR are conspicuously scant in the data examined.

期刊介绍： National Identities explores the formation and expression of national identity from antiquity to the present day. It examines the role in forging identity of cultural (language, architecture, music, gender, religion, the media, sport, encounters with "the other" etc.) and political (state forms, wars, boundaries) factors, by examining how these have been shaped and changed over time. The historical significance of "nation"in political and cultural terms is considered in relationship to other important and in some cases countervailing forms of identity such as religion, region, tribe or class. The focus is on identity, rather than on contingent political forms that may express it. The journal is not prescriptive or proscriptive in its approach.
