"You Know Who I Am? I'm Mr. John Paul's Boy"

Abstract:Inspired by the work of Saidiya Hartman, Stephen Best, and others who ask us to account for the absences in the archive, this essay looks to Eudora Welty's photograph, "A village pet, Mr. John Paul's Boy/Rodney, ca. 1940," for clues to animate his life and the lives of others with intellectual disabilities who lived in Mississippi during the Great Depression. It argues that Welty employed what Tobin Siebers characterized as an "aesthetics of disability," to challenge traditional politics, upend expectations of age, race, gender, and ability, and provide insight into the "amazing worlds" of people with cognitive impairments.

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.
