Lord I'm Coming Home focuses on a small, white, rural fishing community on the southern reaches of the Great Dismal Swamp in North Carolina. By means of a new kind of anthropological fieldwork, John Forrest seeks to document the entire aesthetic experience of a group of people, showing the aesthetic to be an "everyday experience and not some rarefied and pure behavior reserved for an artistic elite."
The opening chapter of the book is a vivid fictional narrative of a typical day in "Tidewater," presented from the perspective of one fisherman. In the following two chapters the author sets forth the philosophical and anthropological foundations of his book, paying particular attention to problems of defining "aesthetic," to methodological concerns, and to the natural landscape of his field site. Reviewing his own experience as both participant and observer, he then describes in scrupulous detail the aesthetic forms in four areas of Tidewater life: home, work, church, and leisure. People use these forms, Forrest shows, to establish personal and group identities, facilitate certain kinds of interactions while inhibiting others, and cue appropriate behavior. His concluding chapter deals with the different life cycles of men and women, insider-outsider relations, secular and sacred domains, the image and metaphor of "home," and the essential role that aesthetics plays in these spheres.
The first ethnography to evoke the full aesthetic life of a community, Lord I'm Coming Home will be important reading not only for anthropologists but also for scholars and students in the fields of American studies, art, folklore, and sociology.

Описание: A lifelong awareness of one's place, and an accompanying sense of permanence within that place when set amid the context of the ecology, history and culture of the locale, is the theme of this memoir of the coastal Georgia low country by author and historian Buddy Sullivan. The author's reflections on his coastal roots are told here in his upbringing amid the salt marshes and tidal waterways of McIntosh County, Georgia, and most specifically within the little tidewater communities of Cedar Point and Valona. A fourth generation McIntosh Countian, Sullivan spent much of his childhood and adolescence in and around Cedar Point on family lands overlooking the marshes and creeks where he experienced life in the 1950s and 1960s. He relates an early association with shrimp boats and the local watermen, his own personal explorations of the local tidewater, and an early and developing interest in local history and ecology through family and extended relationships within the McIntosh County community. Contained herein is an overview of the author's family history, both maternally and paternally, and its direct connections with McIntosh County and the Georgia and South Carolina low country going back to the mid-1800s. Comprising a major portion of this book are selected essays by the author as gleaned from his writings and research relating to the coast over the past forty years. The underlying theme in both the memoir and the historical essays is that of the author's awareness and understanding from an early age of the ecosystems of the low country--tidal salt marshes, barrier islands, river hydrology and upland soils--and their unique connectivity to the region's history and culture. Accompanying the text are maps and archival photographs, interspersed with color images of the tidewater as it appears today.

Описание: Monuments around the world have become the focus of intense and sustained discussions, activism, vandalism, and removal. Since the convulsive events of 2015 and 2017, during which white supremacists committed violence in the shadow of Confederate symbols, and the 2020 nationwide protests against racism and police brutality, protesters and politicians in the United States have removed Confederate monuments, as well as monuments to historical figures like Christopher Columbus and Dr. J. Marion Sims, questioning their legitimacy as present-day heroes that their place in the public sphere reinforces.
The essays included in this anthology offer guidelines and case studies tailored for students and teachers to demonstrate how monuments can be used to deepen civic and historical engagement and social dialogue. Essays analyze specific controversies throughout North America with various outcomes as well as examples of monuments that convey outdated or unwelcome value systems without prompting debate.

If memory was simply about past events, public authorities would never put their ever-shrinking budgets at its service. Rather, memory is actually about the present moment, as Pierre Nora puts it: “Through the past, we venerate above all ourselves.” This book examines how collective memory and material culture are used to support present political and ideological needs in contemporary society. Using the memorialization of the Troubles in contemporary Northern Ireland as a case study, this book investigates how non-state, often proscribed, organizations have filled a societal vacuum in the creation of public memorials. In particular, these groups have sifted through the past to propose “official” collective narratives of national identification, historical legitimation, and moral justifications for violence.
