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.
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.
