In their introduction, Deborah Barker and Kathryn McKee argue that the southern imaginary in film is not contained by the boundaries of geography and genre; it is not an offshoot or subgenre of mainstream American film but is integral to the history and the development of American cinema. Ranging from the silent era to the present and considering Hollywood movies, documentaries, and independent films, the contributors incorporate the latest scholarship in a range of disciplines. The volume is divided into three sections: "Rereading the South" uses new critical perspectives to reassess classic Hollywood films; "Viewing the Civil Rights South" examines changing approaches to viewing race and class in the post-civil rights era; and "Crossing Borders" considers the influence of postmodernism, postcolonialism, and media studies on recent southern films. The contributors to American Cinema and the Southern Imaginary complicate the foundational term "southern," in some places stretching the traditional boundaries of regional identification until they all but disappear and in others limning a persistent and sometimes self-conscious performance of place that intensifies its power. 410 0$aNew southern studies. 606 $aMotion pictures and history 606 $aRace relations in motion pictures 606 $aAfrican Americans in motion pictures 606 $aMemory in motion pictures 607 $aSouthern States$xIn motion pictures 615 0$aMotion pictures and history. 615 0$aRace relations in motion pictures. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in motion pictures. 615 0$aMemory in motion pictures. 676 $a791.43/65875 701 $aBarker$b Deborah$f1955-$01892887 701 $aMcKee$b Kathryn B$01892888 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966080703321 996 $aAmerican cinema and the southern imaginary$94539867 997 $aUNINA
