Abstract

Abstract:Handmade wooden strip boats and memories of them dot the riverine regions of the eastern Carolinas. Today, they have accrued a certain mystique-- they are variously imagined as relics of a bygone era, held up as talismans for connection to land, or discarded as rotted hulls from the backs of old sheds. In this piece, the author examines literary remarks on these boats in the works of Franklin Burroughs and engages his own experience with the boats as passed down from his grandfather, arguing that the objects mark the triangulation of place, culture, and memory through their use and narrativization. In Horry County, they become enmeshed in debates over rurality, development, community, and belonging, such that the array of relations the boat represents exceeds a singular narrative.

摘要:在美国卡罗来纳州东部的河流地区，手工制作的木条船点缀着人们对它们的回忆。今天，它们已经积累了某种神秘感——它们被想象成过去时代的遗物，被当作与土地相连的护身符，或者被当作旧棚屋后面的腐烂船体丢弃。在这篇文章中，作者考察了富兰克林·巴勒斯(Franklin Burroughs)作品中关于这些船的文学评论，并结合了他自己从祖父那里传下来的关于这些船的经历，认为这些物品通过它们的使用和叙述标志着地点、文化和记忆的三角关系。在霍利县，他们陷入了关于乡村、发展、社区和归属感的争论中，以至于这艘船所代表的一系列关系超出了单一的叙述。

期刊介绍： In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
