Performing South.
The U.S. South as Trans/medial Message Abstract
This collection of twelve essays focuses on how the U.S. South has been playing itself out, locally and globally, as various embodied cultural practices — or performances. The contributors to this volume — historians and literature and culture experts alike — explore the many southern performances as they appear to them clad in (post) spiritual,(post) gender, and, finally, also (post)cultural robes. The resulting southern embodiment seems to be a challenging trans/cultural methodology (no longer) complicated by race, religious denomination, sex, class, politics, or past, and thus — affectively —
a live presence that escapes all attempts to pinpoint it. In the end, these essays therefore demonstrate the southern cultural performance as fit for trans/coding the region in the "post-McLuhan" terms of "trans/medial message."
