Recalling a traumatic memory was John Jennings's first foray into what he would later call the ethnogothic. Jennings uses making practices and art to create dark spaces that offer not fear or dread but sanctuary until viewers can truly deal with the monsters that attack their psyches. The monster is a portent of danger, a warning that one has transgressed, and an urging to atone for sins, all key aspects of the gothic. The ethnogothic incorporates these characteristics of the gothic but addresses the specific concerns of the racially oppressed, describing how various modes of violence imprint themselves upon the spirits of Black and Brown people. The ethnogothic offers a space to place trauma, name it, and then let it go so that one can move on to a better future.
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.
