Most have never been translated, in any language, while, for instance, Spanish translations of Nelson Mandela’s 1990 liberation speech are dubious. Spanish-speaking readers will have access, for the first time or in a reliable form, to momentous speeches in the history of South Africa, which, for better or for worse, were decisive at the time, shaped the nation, and are now part of a national rhetorical history. The choice is arbitrary, like any choice, but it reflects work done initially by a group of postgraduate students engaged in rhetoric studies, within the framework of a bilateral project between the Centre for Rhetoric Studies at the University of Cape Town (UCT) and the Instituto de Lingüística, FFyL, at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). Speeches selected here serve a practical purpose, as preparatory documents for workshops run by the project. A further volume of Argentine speeches translated into English is scheduled to complement this one. The project mentioned is a comparative enquiry in the main foundational speeches that structure national identity in Argentina and South Africa over the period 1900 to 1994. In keeping with rhetorical criticism its aim is two-fold: to establish, for the first time, a comprehensive body of key speeches that should serve scholars and students alike in their study of the discursive tenets of two political societies across the South Atlantic; and to contribute significantly to an international body of studies on the "rhetoricity" of national identity formation, and what has been termed "constitutive rhetoric". The project is co-directed by this writer and Dr. A. M. Vitale, at UBA. Titles given speeches are quotations from the speeches themselves, that may, hopefully, capture the crux of their argument. This is no injury to orators as titles commonly attributed to speeches are just that : attributions; or afterthoughts; or propaganda tools. This is not a critical edition. Problems arising out of popular, mass media’s or historians’ habit of treating speeches as/like texts are a common quandary of rhetorical criticism: speeches are not texts, but oratorical artifacts. Printed speeches often differ from their oral originals (for striking examples, see AYOR 2 (3), 2011). We have set aside this complex problem, which involves issues of representation such as actual/fictional authorship, immediate/delayed audience response, and legacy manipulations – for the time being. National identities are constructed usually on false but durable pretenses, and speeches turned into textual propaganda are no exception to this sophistical practice. The Editor wishes to express his gratitude to Clara Tilve, the project’s professional translator; ambassador Glenn Babb (for his presentation of Verwoerd’s speech); Brett Syndercombe, copy editor; and Honours students in South African Political Rhetoric at the Centre for Rhetoric Studies, UCT : Zaid Gamielden, Dean Horwitz, Su-Lize Immelmann, Julian Kesler, Michelle October.
