Resumen de The “War on Christianity”: counterpublicity or hegemonic containment?
This essay takes up an enduring genre of authoritative discourses that decry the persecution of America's predominant religion. In this essay, I contend that existing theory about counterpublics requires revision in order to provide a compelling critical response to this text and others like it; and second, pending my revision, I argue that the rhetoric of the “War on Christmas” illustrates a particularly powerful strategy of political containment available to hegemonic publics.
