Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Located in the Deep South, Mississippi in the first half of the twentieth century appeared paradoxically both as a bastion of reactionary political thought and practice and as a remarkably fertile cultural subregion of the South. While it exhibited many signs of backwardness and rigorously applied Jim Crow laws to ensure the complete segregation of races, its authors and artists achieved recognition with their avant-garde art in various media. Both fictional texts rooted in this conflicted area and music produced by black and later also white musicians were widely accepted also outside the region. As musicians joined the "Grand Migration", the mass exodus from the poor counties of the state helped make the blues and country music a prominent export article of the region. Modernist writers such as William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Elizabeth Spencer, Tennessee Williams and African Americans such as Margaret Walker were widely noted, and their rendition of the society of the Deep South fostered variants of a specific traditional image.
