THE AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL DEMAND OF PLACE - BRIAN CA...

Place is central to the study of the American South. The question of the meaning and power of
place underpinned the earliest efforts to define and understand the region  and place remains a
crucial concept in an ongoing process of regional identification and inquiry. This book
examines Southern place autobiographically  historically  and theoretically in order to
illuminate the subjective and social dimensions of place and to promote progressive
conversation in the region. Using the interpretive tools of psychoanalysis to take account of
the autobiographical roots of knowledge and society  Brian Casemore conceptualizes curriculum
inquiry in the American South as a response to the complex role of place in self-formation. If
we accept that place is ideological as well as physically dimensional - that it is created in
the mind as well as the landscape - we have an opportunity to explore it as it emerges  laden
with personal and public meaning.
